Background
On April 14, 2009, Brand New's Myspace page was updated with a statement that read "We have started the mixing process with Dave Sardy. Please adjust your schedule accordingly, as we are hoping for a summer release. Thank you for your time and patience. We will see you soon."[6] "At the Bottom" was released as the lead single on August 11, 2009. The song's lyrics were written by both guitarist Vincent Accardi and vocalist Jesse Lacey, marking the band's second song in which Accardi is credited as a songwriter (following "Handcuffs" on The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me).
The song charted at number 14 on the UK Rock Chart.[7]
Reception
Slant Magazine compared the song's instrumentation to Mission of Burma and described Lacey's vocal performance as "doing his best Isaac Brock impression".[8]
