We love games here at Noisey. They distract us from the inescapable onslaught of time and decay. So, we’re starting a series based on one of our favorite games, Two Truths and a Lie. You might remember this game from theater camp, if you spent your childhood being an acute wiener. The way it works is we ask our favorite artists to tell us three biographical facts. Two of them are true. One of them is false. Hand in the completed quiz to your nearest Noisey faculty member for grading by tomorrow. Just kidding, homework sucks! Answers are below.

For the first edition we asked one of our favorite new bands, Tangerine, to hit us with their best shot. Toby, Ryan, Marika, and Miro comprise a fresh-faced indie-pop quartet from Seattle, who’ve seen some crazy shit and met a fucked up number of celebrities. Or have they?

While you’re at it, stream our premiere of their latest single “You’ll Always Be Lonely.” It’s a gorgeous, gold-flecked reminder that love is pain and all relationships fail. “You’ll never come over,” croons Marika, sweetly delivering a bitter pill. Did I mention the inescapable onslaught of time and decay?

Watch out for Tangerine’s upcoming EP BEHEMOTH! out October 28.
