SASAMI shares new version of 'Tried To Understand'

After the release of her stunning sophomore LP 'Squeeze' earlier this year, SASAMI has now returned to share a new version of one of the record's standout offerings.

The new rendition of 'Tried To Understand' sees her team up with Dinosaur Jr.‘s J Mascis, as well as Ty Segall on drums.

Speaking about the new release, she said, "’Tried to Understand’ was a song that took many forms before it became what you hear on my album, Squeeze. This rawer cut with J. Mascis is kind of a peek into the different dimensions and moods one composition can inhabit. This version features Ty Segall on drums, me on bass and guitar and J. on the ripping leads and backing vocals. It’s the less cute version of what spinning out can sound like.”
