Phase 1

This language is a paradox 
Lacking in computation skills
We see the sweat coming off your brow
Watching bodies mount in this crowd

You know just all too well 
The lure of the gray-blue light
You work us in a frenzy
We want our pound of flesh tonight

You're not who you think you are 
You're not holy nor Roman, man
I fear our friends have been sowed in
We'll be looking for the fire tonight

Florida man's burning all these books 
He wants to make sure the people see
They've got to fight until they know
A neighbor looks like he said they should, for us

No matter how far you run, it's never enough 

Slowly inuring 
The transmigration, of a self
You desperately, need to be
But can't quite, set free

Everybody's fighting American War 

The saddest sincerity 
Bleeds from your gaping wounds
You search the sky for signs of life
But can't quite, get this joke

Everybody's fighting American war 

The truth that we ignore 
Is Icarus, didn't burn
Then tell me what, did we learn
We are Icarus
We are Icarus
Icarus killed us all
Icarus killed us all

Icarus

Here we are, two peas in pod 

Buried to our necks

Scanning the horizon, for all we fear

Pining for enemies to crush us

The Brute

Someone I Used To Know

“Resistance,” the 2nd single from Yo Kinky’s debut EP (out 02/28/21), finds the duo exploring a more delicate yet simultaneously strong and confident mood. With Unish’s spaced-out, rockabilly-tinged guitar bouncing through the song’s driving, hypnotic layers of sound, they paint a sonic landscape that yearns for much-needed intimacy in a time of social distancing and isolation. As Wight’s vocals float above the surface, singing “Love is all we breathe” and “Swing me off my feet,” she transports the listener to places of rich yet strange beauty. “Resistance” alludes to keeping sanity amidst chaos with the warm and hopeful delivery of “Sight got back/I feel different/A flicker in the distance,” and finding contentment from the small things in life: “Everybody’s just around the corner now/Everything I need is just a short walk down the street.” This follow-up is sure to leave listeners with a sense of triumph against all odds.
