Jukebox The Ghost - Empire

The first release from our long-awaited, self-produced album, we're very excited to share our new 'Gory Stories' EP! We've been wanting to do a Halloween EP for a little while now, so we decided to have a little fun with the B-Sides when putting out "Edward Gorey's Gory Stories" as the lead single from the album. The video for "Edward Gorey..." goes live on YouTube on 25th October as well - it's hilariously macabre (if we do say so ourselves), so do check it out (https://youtu.be/kz0AxmNdRPw)! 

"Edward Gorey's Gory Stories" is an untraditional love song that explores identity, acceptance, and the profoundly macabre. Are we just the product of our experiences, and can we step outside that to decide who we want to be on our own terms?

Edward Gorey was a 20th century writer and artist, and his beguilingly dark illustrated books have been Ringlefinch faves for many years. We particularly love his work 'The Gashlycrumb Tinies', a delightfully morbid A-B-C book (or abecedary, word fans) whose protagonists get bumped off in rhyming couplets, and in hilariously unlikely ways. Special shout-out to artist Lolita Blaga for the artwork for the 'Gory Stories' EP, she absolutely nailed the Gorey style!

Track listing:
1) Edward Gorey's Gory Stories
2) Hell (Squirrel Nut Zippers cover - ft. Angie Rance of Patch & The Giant on trumpet)
3) Mysterious Mose (from a 1930 Betty Boop cartoon - ft. Johnny Craike on musical saw)
4) The Monster Mash (with thanks and love to the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band)

All of our songs can be found on iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify and the rest. If you can afford it and want to support us to make more music, please consider buying or streaming from a paid service as well! We've also got some rather lovely t-shirts and tote bags available at https://ringlefinch.teemill.com.

Thanks!

Edward Gorey's Gory Stories

Waving Goodbye, By Bug Hunter. This is the 9th song on their 3rd album, Bigger Than Myself


Sit with me here in this room, I'm alone, but if you sit with me 
maybe I won't feel like I'm alone (I'll feel like I'm home)
I never went through that rebellious phase where my family was lame
and I wanted to be on my own (now I'm on my own)

And I wonder if I've wandered too far away
and if I should stay... or if I should go home

If I close my eyes I am practically there, with my dad on the couch
and my mom in her old rocking chair
I used to climb on her lap and she'd rock me to sleep, 
read me stories then carry me back up the stairs

And I wonder when I learned to read on my own,
grew heavy to hold, too big for her chair

You gave me brown hair
You gave me brown eyes
You gave me the patience I need to be kind
You said not to cry, I promised to try

I'm waving goodbye

I call my mom once a week and my dad twice a year but
I love them the same, I've no favorite at all
My dad can fix anything but I don't have that gene
it just seems like that apple had too far to fall

But I wonder if I'll take the best of his traits
His humor and faith in the ones that he loves

You gave me brown hair, you gave me brown eyes
You gave me the patience I need to be kind
You said not to cry, I promised to try
I'm waving goodbye

Columbus, Ohio and Reno, Nevada
Chicago and L.A. and now in Seattle
I've left behind all of the baggage I had - I still
bring you both with me wherever I travel
You could've fixed every little mistake
The bumps in the road, the cuts and the scrapes
Could've fought all my battles and made me feel safe
Could've told me I'm perfect, unable to change

But the best thing a parent can do for their child
is strengthen their heart
make them able to wave them goodbye

You gave me brown hair, you gave me brown eyes
You gave me the patience I need to be kind
I said not to cry, you promised to try

I'm waving goodbye

Bigger Than Myself

Waving Goodbye

Headlights, By Bug Hunter. This is the 2nd song on their 3rd album, Bigger Than Myself

Calm
The key is to be calm
I'm sure that my hands
will settle soon
Just keep them 
locked at ten and two
and carry on

I need to carry on...
'cause taking that final look behind me
changes nothing but my mind

If I stop now
and turn the other way
I'm only going back for yester-
Only going back for yesterday

And it's okay
We're better off apart but that's
the part of me
that voices things I never meant to say
We're like two cars in the night
Your headlights blind me briefly
then you're gone
and we continue on our way

Well
I'm not feeling too well
I tried every trick to understand
If I seem lost it's 'cause I am and I need
Help
I need a little help
I've crossed your path so many times
but right now yours just isn't mine

The road is clear, a sign as if to say:
It's time you let the past be yester-
Time you let the past be yesterday

And it's okay
We're better off apart but that's the part of me
that voices things I never meant to say
We're like two cars in the night
Your headlights blind me briefly
Then you're gone and we continue on our way

And when I think it's far enough away
You make me feel like it was yester-
Make me feel like it was yesterday

And it's okay
We're better off apart but that's the part of me
that voices things I never meant to say
We're like two cars in the night
Your headlights blind me briefly
then you're gone and we continue on our way

And my exit's on the right
The mile markers counting down
the empty minutes of the night
and I drive on...
Letting limits pass me by
As I search my rearview mirror
Not for the dawn
but for the incoming headlights

Yes (or No)

Bug Hunter
