Speedy Ortiz have released a new song, in honour of guitarist Devin McKnight who’s just announced he’s leaving the band.
“Here’s the last unreleased Speedy song Devin recorded on,” says frontwoman Sadie. “We made this almost two years ago, on my birthday in 2015!
“At Devin’s very wise suggestion we are giving the proceeds this month to #CLOSERikers, read more about it here: closerikers.org.”
The band will be joined by Andy Molholt from Laser Background on second guitar for all future shows.
Speedy Ortiz released their most recent album, ’Foil Deer’ in 2015, while Sadie’s debut solo album ‘Sad13’ landed last year.
