Allo Darlin's new album "We Come From The Same Place" combines the eagerness, urgency and immediacy of their 2010 self-titled debut with the contemplation, sophistication and ambition of their 2012 follow-up "Europe," and yet it goes beyond either both sonically and in the songs. It was written at a time of considerable change for songwriter Elizabeth Morris, a time during which she fell in love, moved to Italy and got married - not that that seems to have hindered the songwriting process, as Elizabeth explains, "So many things have happened since I first wrote the songs that make up this album, it's difficult to remember back to where it all began. The songs were written very quickly, during a period when I found writing songs very easy, whereas I often find songwriting very difficult. Some of the songs were written so fast I can't even really remember writing them. The songs were a joy to write, and writing them made me feel better about lots of things."

Among the highlights of the album is "Bright Eyes", a duet with guitarist Paul Rains. Elizabeth again, "I wanted to write another duet, but the only problem with doing that is that when you play live it's very rare that the person you recorded it with can be there. So I thought it would be great to write a song with Paul singing the other part. I love Paul's singing and I wanted to hear him do it more, so it's quite selfish really!" Another standout is the Twin Peaks-referencing "Half-Heart Necklace", based on a true story from Elizabeth’s hometown. "There had been some murders, and this girl who was my age was missing and presumed killed. It turned out she had been hiding for years in her boyfriend's cupboard, and she was charged for wasting police time". 
 
Other notable tracks include the rollicking "Kings and Queens", inspired by a show they played in the USA with their friends and kindred spirits The Wave Pictures, and "Romance and Adventure", originally earmarked for a film soundtrack and written in response to a challenge from Paul to write a pop song in a minor key. Bass player Bill Botting sums up Elizabeth’s remarkable songwriting ability by saying, "The key to Elizabeth’s songwriting appeal is that she’s so adept at pinpointing certain ideas and moods; leaving one city and finding a new one and realising that beginnings and endings have a lot in common."

The truism is that third albums are difficult beasts, but by remaining true to themselves Allo Darlin’ have side-stepped the pitfalls to produce a wonderful record - thoughtful and exciting and exquisitely played – that will please their existing army of fans and newcomers alike. On first reading the album’s title may seem enigmatic, but from the very personal nature of Elizabeth Morris’ finely drawn vignettes to the more universal connections between the band and their audience, its meaning will be obvious to all who fall under the spell of this magical band.

Crawling Back To You 
(Prod. By Guv & Price)

I've been thinking of crawling back to you 
the umbilical cord was cut too soon
placenta sleeping bags for two 
when my heart breaks then yours may too

Water breaks
Waiting room
Now where to.. ?
Can I crawl back inside you 

I can't think of a better place to stay 
Soft flesh will carry me today 
placenta sleeping bags for two 
when my heart breaks then yours may too

Cuz I need the attention now of every single girl
I'm one of those guys who can't find pleasure in the world
I'm foolish enough to wanna move back inside you

I've been thinking of crawling back to you
(inside you)

Mall Walk - Funny Papers LP on Mt.St.Mtn.
http://www.mtstmtn.com/audio/mtn-18-mall-walk

>> Propulsive. Infectious. Thoughtful. A band that captures the idiosyncrasies of modern American life in their brooding compositions, building syncopated tension before revelatory climaxes. Funny Papers, the debut album from this Oakland, CA trio, takes cues from Wire and Sonic Youth to create a churning, nuanced record that’s never lacking in hooks.

The interplay between Nicholas Clark (drums) and Daniel Brown (bass) is something to admire, complimenting the cutting, angular guitar and rolling arpeggios that punctuate tracks like opener “Call Again”, while standouts like the soaring “Sleeping in Shifts” highlight Rob I. Miller’s (vocal, guitar) calm, cool delivery, and knack for emotive, memorable lines. Recorded and produced by Monte Vallier (Wax Idols, Weekend, The Soft Moon), repeat listens reveal the remarkable attention to detail behind Funny Papers. Textural slabs of noise delicately expand sparse arrangements into expansive, climatic ascents.

Cavity click keeps the rhythm, keeps it movin'.  Any day it's gonna crack.  Popcorn kernel, olive pit, at any moment smashed to bits (yeah).  Toothache's better than heartache baby, I've figured that much out.  And I thought I knew a thing or two about the blues but you've got me wonderin' now.

Dog-eyed kindess (naive and trusting) fans the purest flame of morning fire.  But once it fizzles out into charred, formless evening, how do you ignite without turning to ash (yeah).  Seasick's better than heartsick, baby.  I know that much by now.  And I thought I knew nausea from sea to cars but you've got me wonderin' now.

Forced into morning, tempted into night.  Tally all the things that you broke.  Bending her branches.  Snapping, sapping and writhing.  For me alone.  Yeah, I guess sunburn's better than heartburn (barely).  Guess I never figured that out.  And I thought I knew a thing or two about the blues but you've got me wonderin' now.
