Locate S,1 (aka Christina Schneider) shares the devastating Bossa Nova-inspired single “Go Back to Disnee” from the forthcoming full-length Wicked Jaw, due out July 28, 2023 on Captured Tracks. The song’s release is accompanied by a video directed by frequent collaborator Tristan Scott-Behrends.

What does it mean to be an American in the 21st century? What does it mean to be a woman? What does it mean to be a survivor? Schneider digs tunnels into collective memory on “Go Back to Disnee,” a song that could soundtrack an episode of The White Lotus. “Under the blankets, into the plastic dreams / Into the comfort of parental regimes,” Schneider purrs with a delivery so gentle that you might not detect the venom seeping through. On this tune Schneider’s exceptional songcraft is most evident through her ability to excavate the toxins lingering beneath the surface in a way where they begin to shine and radiate a strange beauty.
 

According to Christina Schneider: “On the 4th of July, 2020, George Floyd protests and COVID were in full swing and the celebrations I heard on my block were nauseating me. I had just read a line from Cassavetes: ‘Maybe there really wasn't an America. Maybe it was only Frank Capra.’ I sat down next to my open studio window so I could hear the explosions while I wrote this song.”

“Go Back to Disnee” follows June’s “Heart Attack” a therapeutic synth-pop track with a prominent bass groove that addresses PTSD and finding one’s way forward, released with a video that Schnieder directed and edited, and the deceptively breezy power-poppy album opener “You Were Right About One Thing” released in May with the album’s announcement, accompanied by a vibrant video also directed by Tristan Scott-Behrends that takes cues from the noir of the album’s namesake, filtered through day-glo camp sensibilities à la John Waters and Pedro Almodóvar.
 
From teddy grahams to pussy hats, California forest fires to cash cabs, the stuff of American nostalgia and horror adorns a personal reckoning on Christina Schneider’s triumphant third album as Locate S,1. With a name culled from a Dashiell Hammett noir novel, Wicked Jaw pulls from wildly disparate references and textures to survey the history of American pop music. Like Pat Benatar soundtracking an Adam Curtis documentary, the album trades in dramatic juxtapositions across its kaleidoscopic ten tracks.

Early Praise for Locate S,1 and Wicked Jaw, out July 28th on Captured Tracks:

“Christina Schneider, the artist who records as Locate S,1, has every reason to be angry. Her work on her last album Personalia wound up being diminished in the press due to her choice of collaborator, Of Montreal’s Kevin Barnes. And for the past few years, she’s been involved in intense therapy sessions to cope with the trauma of being abused as a child. So why does she sound so light and free on the songs we have heard so far from forthcoming self-produced full-length Wicked Jaw? Really all it takes is a cursory scan of the lyric sheet to see what’s truly at the heart of these songs. As she sings over some frothy electropop on new single ‘Heart Attack,’ the memories of the past and the pain she has inflicted on others are enough to cause cardiac arrest. But the true message of the song—and the album—is one of liberation, of acceptance, of embracing our vast ability to grow and change even in the wake of trauma.” - Paste (Best New Songs)
 
“{“Heart Attack” is} vintage-synth-sound-swathed, Disco-fueled and soulful.” - The Autumn Roses

“It’s hard to image a record that could come from a darker headspace than Wicked Jaw, yet by trying to process the events of her life, by taking the time to live amongst them, Christina has taken Locate S,1 to new highs. It takes a touch of magic to make the darkness shine so brightly, this album might just be remarkable.” - For The Rabbits
