Lyrics:

I wait for
For you
To tell you
What's new
What you do
Is cool
To see you
Right after school

Talking on the telephone
Ask me 'bout my favorite song
How do you do?
Oooh

Talking on the telephone
Ask me 'bout my favorite song
How do you do?
Oooh

Heart to heart
Tonight
What's on your
Your mind
Getting late now
So goodnight
Brush my teeth
And fall into bed

Talking on the telephone
Ask me 'bout my favorite song
How do you do?
Oooh

Talking on the telephone
Ask me 'bout my favorite song
How do you do?
Oooh

Oooh
Telephone
Oooh

Lyrics:

When I come around won't you say my name?
And if you leave this town I won't be the same

You hurt more
at bay
You'd love more
while away

you hurt more
(and even if the time was right)
at bay
(we should have known better)
you'd love more
(and even if the time was right)
while away
(we should have known better)

when I come around, won't you say my name?
and if you leave this town I won't be the same
when I come around, won't you say my name?
and if you leave this town I won't be the same

and even if the time was right
we should have known better
and even if the time was right
we should have known better

when I come around won't you say my name?
and if we leave this town, I won't be the same

With Benefits

Cones are Jonathan and Michael Rosen, two brothers from San Francisco who make far-out, addictive pop music in Los Angeles. Jonathan, the band's singer and principal songwriter, is also a middle school art teacher and a visual artist whose trippy hand-drawn animations and drawings have been styled for artists such as Erykah Badu, Toro y Moi, Pond and Eleanor Friedberger, and is a contributing cartoonist for The New Yorker magazine. Michael is a classically trained pianist, composer and producer who carefully crafts their recordings at his Los Angeles studio Honeymoon Suite, and additionally works as a software engineer at THX in the world of spatial audio. Together, Jonathan's intuitive, abstract approach and Michael's technical prowess combine to create what Tiny Mix Tapes describe as "crisp, tuneful, spontaneous bursts of sound and color."
 
After a string of acclaimed singles and their debut album Pictures Of Pictures (2019), Cones are back with their second album, Almanac. Written and recorded during the first year of the pandemic, Almanac proves true to its namesake, acting as a musical cartograph encapsulating the brothers’ experience of such a perplexing time in history. 
 
The captivating new record offers up an intoxicating blend of shimmering psychedelic exploration, nostalgic lyrics,  and muscular pop craftsmanship, complete with infectious hooks and deep grooves that simultaneously hint at everything from Big Star and the Replacements to ELO and the Bee Gees. Mind-bending bass lines, euphoric synthesizers, deliciously crunchy guitar riffs and twisting vocal melodies all coalesce into a one-of-a-kind psychedelic sound that works equally well blaring from speakers at a party or on headphones late at night. 

The brothers draw on their radically different backgrounds here to remarkable effect, with each bringing their own unique history to the project in perfect complement to the other. The result is a whole far greater than the sum of its parts, a record that feels at once futuristic and vintage, spontaneous and deliberate, playful and profound.
 
Stereogum applaud Cones as a "wonderfully groovy synth-pop delight," and KCRW approve of their "easy breezy SoCal feel we love so much." Jonathan and Michael themselves liken their music to "candy in a conch shell." Almanac is the product of two restlessly creative minds drawing from all corners of their imagination. The result is an immediately delightful yet profound listen, a thrilling album built for warm evenings with friends and long drives down the coast.
