Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Cheryl Waters, host of the Midday Show on KEXP, is "Contentment" by RUB, a 2023 single on RUB Sounds.
Today's Song of the Day is the debut single from Rub, a Seattle supergroup featuring members of Trick Candles, Salt Lick, Acid Tongue, Killer Workout, Cute Lepers, Panama Gold, and NighTraiN. The group are currently recording their debut full-length.
On today's featured track, the band write: "This song is about Contentment. When will it happen, and what to do when you finally get it? It's about remembering that you are in control of your happiness and can choose it anytime. In the video, we wanted to show something mundane like band practice and how you can turn everything into a moment of celebration. You're doing the work by just being."
Check out the video for the single, directed by Nina Wasankari, below.
