It's been a wild six months for Grumpy, the NYC based-project led by Heaven Schmitt (they/he), who has been popping up in some unexpected places since their EP, Wolfed was released Bayonet Records (Beach Fossils, Mei Semones) in October.
The EP caused an immediate stir, earning praise from outlets like FADER (who called Grumpy "a band to watch in 2025"), BrooklynVegan and FLOOD, and landing on Stereogum and Paste's Best EPs of 2024 lists, while the project made Stereogum's Best New Artists list. Their burgeoning indie-world notoriety then took a surprising turn, when they caught the attention of country music superstar Zach Bryan, who was immediately taken by Heaven's voice and tapped them to duet on two tracks he released at the end of last year, before bringing them on board to continue collaborating on new music in 2025. Heaven's year of collaboration continued to build when they released a single called "Lonesome Ride," that they made with their NYC compatriots Sidney Gish and Precious Human (alongside a Stereogum feature), and now they're are back with another collaborative release.
Their latest offering is a single called "Harmony" that features Claire Rousay and Pink Must (which is itself a collaboration between recent Rousay-collaborator More Eaze and Lynn Avery Murphy). The track arrived alongside a Paste Best of What's Next feature and a lyric video.

Heaven Schmitt, Claire Rousay, Pink Must, and Lynn Avery Murphy on “Harmony”:
Pink Must: "This song was scientifically engineered so that every individual element will be stuck in your head at all times."
Claire Rousay: "I have no doubt in my mind that people will listen to this song and say 'ya imma listen to that again'."
Lynn Avery Murphy: "I played bass and stuff"
Heaven Schmitt: "Women are notoriously difficult to work with but these three were actually really chill."
Heaven on “Lonesome Ride”:
"Lonesome ride was our excuse to hang out and do our favorite thing, sing with our best friends. This song is the sound of the loving and collaborative creative home I've found in Brooklyn. I ride for Sidney Gish and Precious Human, they are two geniuses that I am honored to highlight in this song. The music video is a snapshot of our real, tender lives; eating cheap food, sharing big ideas and doing karaoke at Cassette."
