VENICE, Calif., Sept. 10, 2020 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Man8Plant\u00a0Records announced today the release of \u201cPlague Baby,\u201d a new video and single from Pete McCabe’s latest album, \u201cMany Storyed.\u201d McCabe is a folk and pop music artist, a troubadour and storyteller who is as topical and fresh today as the leading artists of\u00a0the 60s were\u00a0in their time.\u00a0\u201cPlague Baby\u201d is thought-provoking with layers of meaning. You can listen to Pete McCabe\u2019s music on any streaming service.<\/p>\n

\"Plague<\/em><\/p>\n

Pete McCabe\u2019s love for his \u201cPlague Baby\u201d is a heartfelt tribute to his wife Diane. It\u2019s an anthem derived from their struggles with The Virus during quarantine. For the video, Plague Baby, Pete plays acoustic guitar, piano and arranges all the other instruments. Pete made all the images for the video too.<\/p>\n

Pete says \u201cI knew our ever-strengthening partnership would see us through. Our personal quirks as well as our love for each other came into sharp focus. The daily death toll unnerved us, but\u2026we were happy to \u2018Hunker in our Bunker\u2019 until the end of time.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the video, these lyrics hover over an “infectious” rock beat:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I need my Plague Baby!<\/em><\/p>\n

My hunker in the bunker lady<\/em><\/p>\n

Yeah, she\u2019s got pizza in the fridge<\/em><\/p>\n

And streaming TV<\/em><\/p>\n

What happens outside don\u2019t matter to me<\/em><\/p>\n

With her in my arms, that\u2019s where I wanna be<\/em><\/p>\n

Plague Baby, I do appreciate you\u00a0lately<\/em><\/p>\n

Plague Baby, I do appreciate you\u00a0lately<\/em><\/p>\n

Pete felt that what he wanted to say about these trying times needed a hard hitting, yet humorous approach. “Synthesizers and electric guitars felt right for this one,” explained Pete. “Much of my music has folk roots, but I like to expand into unknown territory. The virus put us all into a new situation. When the lockdown came, it was 24\/7 time with my wife. Our love came into sharp focus. The daily death toll\u00a0unnerved us, but we were happy to ‘hunker in our bunker’ till the end of time. The video shows such a couple as they battle the forces outside their little home.”<\/p>\n

There is much more to the “Many Storyed” EP than just the single. Pete explores his roots in “Forgotten Folkies,” looks at the transformative power of sprinkles in “A Protest Doughnut” and even gets a bit sexy with “Hair of the Dog.” Pete McCabe’s new album is fun, quirky and eclectic.<\/p>\n
