The thermals Hutch Harris returns to the podcast

THE THERMALS Hutch Harris chats to Brett Newski about favorite 90s female rockers, doing standup comedy, overdosing on CBD, finding fulfillment, loitering, favorite soul-crushing moments, and trying not to give too many s***s.

Includes “Dave Grohl does not listen to Brett Newski” sticker.

“Life Upside Down” was produced by Hutch Harris of Sub-Pop & Saddle Creek legends The Thermals and engineered by Beau Sorenson (Death Cab for Cutie, Superchunk, Bob Mould), Life Upside Down is a beautiful catharsis to a happier brain and sense of belonging. If you frequently find yourself stuck in your own head traffic, this record might help get you free.

Brett Newski has certainly kicked his own ass over the past 6 years, touring infinitely (mostly alone) and wandering down the rabbit hole of anxiety, depression, and wallowing self-doubt. All of these negatives have blossomed into positive creative energy on his third LP.

Blending humor with mental health struggles, alternative songwriter/illustrator/podcaster Brett Newski makes fun of his own depression by offering mental health boosts in his first book " It's Hard to be a Person: defeating anxiety, surviving the world, and having more fun."

“I love how easy Newski makes it to plow through the dark stuff with some well placed humor and grit.” -Stelth Ulvang (of the Lumineers)

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Years ago, somewhere on the Internet, I posted a few dumb drawings making fun of my own anxiety and depression.

The response to them was warmer than anticipated, and people kept asking for more. Blending humor with pure depression seemed to strike a chord with a decent amount of people. So I kept going, and after about three years of drawing, I had enough dumb drawings for a book called It's Hard to be a Person: defeating anxiety, surviving the world, and having more fun.

*special thanks to Ramshackle Press, Anna Sacks and Nomad Union for helping get the book out.

Folk-Grunge. Alt-country. Garage Americana. Whatever you call it, BRETT NEWSKI has carved his own lane at the crossroads of scrappy rock n roll, freak folk and comedic storytelling. Out May 1, Newski returns with a new album (and companion pocket book) Have a Thing, Miss Your Moment, Wait for the Revival,arriving via Nomad Union.

The book/music will NOT be on Amazon. The title track will NOT be on any streaming.

Have a Thing blends 60’s era Bob Dylan's freewheeling lyricism with the crunch, grit, and melodic bite of 90s alternative rock, showcasing NEWSKI's production style of a lost Velvet Underground tape. Recorded straight to cassette in Milwaukee, WI, the project leans into the imperfections that make analog charm so enduring.
