Pernice Brothers will release their new album Who Will You Believe? on April 6, and they’ve just shared “I Don’t Need That Anymore,” which is a gorgeous he-said-she-said duet with Neko Case.
“‘I Don’t Need That Anymore’ is one of the rare songs of mine that started with a lyric hook instead of a melody,” says Joe Pernice. “My wife and my mother were looking at the latter’s sixty-six-year-old wedding album. My wife said to my mother, ‘Wow! You Had some figure.’ Not skipping a beat, my mother said, ‘I had it when I needed it.’ I immediately sent myself a text that read ‘I’m glad I had it when I needed it. But baby, I don’t need that anymore.’ I was excited that Neko was into singing with me. No one needs me to tell of her singular voice. And being in the live room while she recorded her part legit gave me goosebumps. And she’s a really great person, which is always a plus.”

Joe Pernice will celebrate the new album with a solo NYC show at Le Poisson Rouge on April 3, and he’s added a couple more dates, playing Toronto before and Boston after. All dates are below.
