On March the third

KO:MI releases new song  “Flooding, No Rain”
First new KO:MI material since last year’s We Said We Didn’t Know but We Knew album.
KO:MI releases “Flooding, No Rain” on the 23rd April 2021 via Soliti.
Of the new song Sanna Komi (KO:MI) explains "I originally wrote this song for the Acoustic Guitar Project, in which you're given an acoustic guitar, a recording device and a week to write a song and record it in a single take. The format is really inspiring and I ended up liking this song so much that I wanted to do a studio version of it, still keeping to the minimalistic quality of the original. I wrote it just before the release of my We Said We Didn't Know but We Knew album in the end of last year, and thematically it is a continuation of that album. It is a song about the fragile materiality of life as we know it on Earth and the absurdity of things like owning a piece of a planet. What does that even mean? The consequences: climate change, biodiversity loss, extreme weather, are all happening in front of our eyes."

Boy With Apple - Linger On

Lyrics:

Hand in hand by the burning car I can feel the heat from the flames
Black smoke in the firelight, the autumn breeze comes in waves
What does it all matter, the wheels keeps turning anyway
I could use a break from myself, can someone else drive for a change

Oh you must know now
About all the things I’d keep if I could forget it all
I’m just momentary dust
Holding shape against the wall

I can see a spark in your eyes when you explain the future away
I can smile and be glad but I can’t see so far ahead
I’ve been here before, guess I’ll still be here in the end
Carved into stone but dissolving nonetheless

Oh you must know now
About all the things I’d keep if I could forget it all
I’m just momentary dust
Holding shape against the wall

And I’m not upset
Things can’t be perfect
Is there no secret to it?
I’ll take your word for it

And I’m not upset
Things can’t be perfect
Is there no secret to it?
‘cause I can’t keep this up

Oh you must know now
About all the things I’d keep if I could forget it all
I’m just momentary dust
Holding shape against the wall

Black Smoke, Autumn Breeze

So feel the flat line
Face down in the time it took to fly
And speak a sure sound
Lining all your words with sugared ice

Well you live and you learn with
Every painful twist and  
Wasted turn

There’s no rhyme between the 
Time it takes to fly
And the time it takes to 
Clamber back to life

So feel the flat line
Smooth and steady
Nothing left to climb 
And change as you choose
If there’s something on your mind

After all this time...

Like a fever it hits
With a cold red mist
Bent bitter in the night
Caught up in a lie
Blood-shot
Hung up
On a said so
When you’re better off

No rhyme between the 
Time it takes to fly
And the time it takes to 
Clamber back to life

So feel the flat line
Set fire now the gale has blown behind
And sparks in your eyes
Shining with the tears you’d pushed aside

Oh, you live and you learn
With every painful twist
And wasted turn

Like a fever it hits
With cold red mist
Bent bitter in the night
Caught up in a lie
Blood-shot
Holding onto a said so
When you’re better off

Flatline

BETTER COMPANY

My wife is currently enrolled in grad school.
This means she's running around town a lot and forgetting little things.
Mostly closet doors and bread twistees.

Little Birdie (demo)

“San Francisco’s Doomed” ...or so they say. There are, however, four Cool Ghouls who will have none of that. Born and raised in Fog Nation’s stripmall suburbs, these boys dreamed of the day when they would move to Shaky City.  San Francisco - the town so many of their electric heroes (Creedence, Thee Oh Sees, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Flamin’ Groovies etc.) call(ed) home - was their destiny.  So they moved to SF, formed a band, packed themselves into crowded apartments, found lousy jobs serving beer and coffee to Bay Area glassholes (alongside counter culture legends), and they have no plans of leaving. Thank the gods their dreams came true! Cool Ghouls are the perfect antidote for San Francisco’s current mess.  They are providing the real-life soundtrack to a new generation of young, loud and gritty San Franciscans that wake up everyday with a beautiful feeling just knowing that these guys won’t let this city’s culture burn to the ground. Their loud guitars, acid riffs, party screams, and stacked-as-f*ck three-part vocal harmonies are echoing down the alleys and shaking foundations. A Swirling Fire Burning Through The Rye is their sophomore full-length album, and it rules.  Recorded live to tape by San Francisco’s Sonny Smith (Sonny and the Sunsets) and mixed and mastered by Mikey Young (Total Control, Eddy Current Suppression Ring), this record elevates Cool Ghouls psychedelic garage jams to a whole new level.  So it is, that Empty Cellar Records is very stoked to present to you ten new delectable Cool Ghouls songs brimming with infectious creative energy. With the vocals on top (did we mention the great harmonies), the drum fills tight, and guitar tones dialed in, this record is an excellent complement to the neverending nights of a neverending summer.  If you don’t believe us, then attend one of their local shows and watch San Francisco’s colorful underbelly dance its cares away. Cool Ghouls definitely knows what’s going on. The band is not oblivious. Just listen to tracks like “The Mile” or “Reelin’” to know that they too are trying to wrap their mind around the swirling fire burning through their town. San Francisco is still doomed... it always has been and always will be.  At least these Cool Ghouls are here to help it go down with just a little bit of true class.  Available this fall - featuring photography of one of their wild house shows by Michael Lucero - on Vinyl and CD from Empty Cellar Records and cassette from Burger Records.  300 limited edition lps will be available in deluxe swirling fire colored vinyl.
