Post-punk's latest bright hope English Teacher have dropped their newest single today: 'Good Grief' is a memoir from the plague days of lockdown.

Shared on cult label Nice Swan today, 'Good Grief' is a slowly building cut filled with apathy and rage: "cops arrest a man for not covering his face" is a sample lyric that would have made no sense whatsoever as recently as 2019. 

Of the track, the band said: "The track dollows the love story of Track and Trace as they navigate their relationship through 2020. It's about the virtual dates, the TikTok dances, the Karens in supermarkets and the obscene levels of potentially avoidable suffering".
