"Sarah Tudzin is the mastermind behind Illuminati Hotties, a goofily-named but very sincere and fun project based out of Los Angeles. She has a couple songs to her name so far, including “(You’re Better) Than Ever,” a compact pop gem that serves as the lead single to her debut album, Kiss Yr Frenemies, which is due out on Tiny Engines in May.
“(You’re Better) Than Ever” is breezy but propulsive, a throbbing drumline providing a sturdy backbone for noodling guitars and swirling-sweet harmonies that Tudzin slyly twists into a discordant scream to keep everything from feeling too carefree. Because Tudzin is in pain here, watching a former lover thrive while she feels stuck in the past, hopelessly wishing that everything would go back to the way it was. “All the things I used to do are boring now/ All the baddest words I knew came pouring out/ When I heard that you feel better/ Better than ever,” she sings in a wry tone.
The song’s accompanying video follows Tudzin as she skateboards around the suburbs, staring through sunglasses directly into the camera as she passes the neighborhood’s frantic goings-on with barely a passing glance, wrapped up in her own world. They follow her until they form something of a parade, a collection of people ignored in the face of an inner crisis." - Stereogum, James Rettig, February 21 2018

♪ lyrics ♪
all my favorite socks are getting holes in them
all my favorite people got a load on them
but i heard
that you feel better
better than ever
all my jeans and hoodies smell like parliaments
all i wanna do is sk8 back to yr bed
'cause i heard
that you got better
better than ever
it's not to say that i'm unfortunate
or that i haven't been succeeding
but i'm a hushed and quiet resonance
when i wanted to be screaming
all the things i used to do are boring now
all the baddest words i knew came pouring out
when i heard
that you feel better
better than ever
it's not to say that i'm unfortunate
or that i haven't been succeeding
but i'm a hushed and quiet resonance
when i wanted to be screaming
all day long i waited for my phone to ring
i counted every glow star on my ceiling
texted you a picture where you looked pretty and
wondered if you saved the ones you had of me
but i'm sure
you must be better
better than ever
oh i'm sure
i could do better
