Feedback Over Talent

Melbourne's Constant Mongrel (featuring members of Terry, Woollen Kits, Taco Leg and Nun) return with a new 7” via Upset The Rhythm in conjunction with their 2019 European tour. ‘Experts in Skin’ is the little sister follow-up to 2018’s ‘Living In Excellence’. The A side single holds the familiar post-post punk angst the band is known for, only building ever higher with a triple saxophone flurry and singer Tom Ridgewell’s mutters on the often awkward nature of mainstream consumerism. On the flip side the band turns to its pop sensibilities producing the tough but sweet sounding ‘Schnuki’. Bassist Amy Hill’s bouncing vocals contrast to the anarcho-punk growls below. Subject matter being another complaint about people that are really fake nice. Can I help you darling? Honey? Sweetie? Deary? Pumpkin?...... no thanks. Constant Mongrel have previous releases available on RIP Society, La Vida Es Un Mus and Siltbreeze.

Release date: 7 June 2019

The Darkness That Follows Me

Young sad Lovers / Happy old Friends

Young sad lovers / happy old friends
Why are others better than them?
Honest promise / never forget
Why are others better than them?

Fragile egos, jealousy, hate
Are for others, not ready yet
Cut the flowers, before they can bend
Passionate lovers / households for rent

Chorus
Where are you, I missed you my other
Where were you, I missed you my friend
Where are you, I missed you my other
Where were you, I missed you so much
—————————————
Troubled marriage / troubled romance
We were different, we could withstand
Like young bold partners ready to dance
Facing each other with love for the past
…the future, the present, love that can last

Bridge:
Young sad lovers / happy old friends
We were waiting for Fridays, our evenings to spend
Honest promise / never forget
Why are others better than them?
(Why are lovers better than friends?)

Young sad lovers / happy old friends
We were waiting for Fridays, our evenings to spend
Honest promise / never forget
We were better than them, we were better than them

Chorus
Where are you, I missed you my other
Where were you, I missed you my friend
Where are you, I missed you my other
Where were you, I missed you so much
—————————————
Where are you, I missed you, my darling
Where were you, I missed you, my love
Where are you, I missed you my other
Where are you, I missed you my friend.
I missed you so much.
