Fire Walk With Me (Surf Curse Cover)

shoutout theo for the ears. also shoutout tomberlin and boygenius


what would i do if i saw you on the street
15 million people and i think i saw you last week
would i tell you i’ve been listening to your music all the time
or just keep moving my feet, looking forward, peace of mind

You look like someone that I knew before
Someone I loved before
You wear your hair like her
You bat your eyes like her
And I can’t stand it anymore
You say to come and so I take the L
End up stuck in hell
But I don’t mind the heat
Or prefer purgatory
Cuz here you are as well

So if I dare to say hello
I make no promise how it goes
But hang on, hang on
One day you will know my name
Until then, I will hide in shame
But hang on, hang on

A corner standing with my eyes real wide
No one’s surprised
You’re so incredible
Im superglued to you
But I’ll deny it every time
Wish I could say all that I’m thinking now
But I’m just swallowing
The words just won’t come out
You’d probably bite my hand
Leave me all red-faced and embarrassed
Hiding in my hands
Not saying substance

So if I dare to say hello
I make no promise how it goes
But hang on, hang on
One day you will know my name
Until then, I will hide in shame
But hang on, hang on

Parasocialite, para- parasocialite
In my arms tonight, baby in my arms tonight
Parasocialite, para- parasocialite
In my arms tonight, baby in my arms tonight
(Parasocialite, para- parasocialite)

Here’s the thing, I’ve been lying to myself now for sometime
Trying to be someone I’m not, all it’s done is made me cry
You’re what I reach for when I don’t know what to grab
A better distraction, so thank you for that
Here’s the thing, I’ve been lying to myself now for sometime

I make no promise how it goes
But hang on, hang on
One day you will know my name
Until then, I will hide in shame
But hang on, hang on

Beige Banquet are a London-based five-piece playing a bleak yet high-powered style of dark punk. Underpinned by a propulsive and motorik rhythm section, they combine robotic and percussive vocal deliveries with industrial textures and abrasive guitars to create frantic and driving sound. The band are set to release their sophomore album 'Ornamental Hermit', and first as a full band, on the 13th March 2024.

Produced by Beige Banquet with the help of engineer Matt Green (Sniffany & The Nits, Artefact, Joanna Gruesome) at Head Cold Studios and mixed and mastered by David Forcier (Civic) ‘Animals’ captures the band in a professional studio environment, moving away from the lofi bedroom recordings of previous releases, the studio provided a perfect environment for the band to develop compositionally and explore a more textural approach.

Combining layers of noise and bursts of saturated percussion, with a driving rhythm section, ‘Animals’ is a taste of the richer and more dynamic sound of their future releases, and captures the raw power of the Beige Banquet live show for the first time.
