Protagoras - Unused Hell Reborn V2 track (UNFINISHED)

Wake up in the morning with a headache
Hit the snooze button, but it don't take
Gotta rush, gotta get dressed, gotta comb my hair
Can't believe I'm stuck in this corporate nightmare (oh, no)

I hate my 9 to 5 job (job)
Sittin' in my cubicle, it feels like a mob
I wanna break free, be who I wanna be
But all I see is endless monotony (ooh-yeah)

9 To 5 Blues

Basstep

Do it all for you

(Verse 1)
In realms of art, where shadows dance,
A lens beholds, a master's trance.
Anala Leibotits, her name renowned,
A seer of beauty, profound.

(Chorus)
Take a pic! Give a dick!
Your visage captured, a timeless click.
She wields the light, a brush so fine,
To paint your essence, a work divine.

(Verse 2)
Before her lens, you stand revealed,
Your soul laid bare, your secrets unsealed.
With every frame, a masterpiece unfolds,
A testament to your beauty, she molds.

(Chorus)
Take a pic! Give a dick!
Your visage captured, a timeless click.
She wields the light, a brush so fine,
To paint your essence, a work divine.

(Bridge)
Through her lens, you see yourself anew,
A vision of art, a dream come true.
She captures moments, fleeting and rare,
Transforming you into a star, beyond compare.

(Verse 3)
With every glance, her camera sings,
A symphony of light, where your spirit takes wing.
She freezes time, a timeless art,
Preserving your beauty, a work apart.

(Chorus)
Take a pic! Give a dick!
Your visage captured, a timeless click.
She wields the light, a brush so fine,
To paint your essence, a work divine.

(Outro)
In Anala's realm, where art resides,
Your image immortalized, it abides.
Through her lens, you've found your true worth,
A masterpiece of beauty, forever rebirth.

Nearing a decade old and with a discography reaching deep into double figures across several different labels (Mexican Summer, Burger, Plastic Response Records) David Loca’s work under the Part Time moniker really shouldn’t require any introduction. Nonetheless, the release of what is officially his sixth album, fittingly titled Spell #6, does signal something of a re-birth and provides a compelling entry point for anyone new to Loca’s prolific output.

Whereas previous albums were notable for a charming lo-fi production, Spell #6 takes Part Time uptown. "I describe this album as 'my studio album', because it was entirely re-recorded at my drummer Walter Byer's studio, unlike most of my past releases being bedroom experimental pop recordings." Loca produced the record himself, impressively appropriating a classic 80s pop sound that recalls some of the more grand productions of that era - think Stephen Street’s expressive production on ‘Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me’, Crowded House and The Church’s widescreen interpolation of Paisley Underground jangle, and there's even traces Gerard McMann’s grandiose ‘Cry Little Sister’. In that sense, the record stands as an outlier in Loca’s catalogue, and in doing so sheds the sometimes limiting trappings of bedroom recording

Though it is Loca’s project, Spell #6 sees him joined by a consistent supporting cast of fellow writers and performers who add a poise and deftness to his vision, most notably Ariel Pink, who makes a guest appearance on lead single, ‘I Can Treat You Better’.

A lead single for its obvious earworm qualities, it also functions as an ideal snapshot of the lyrical themes that run through the entire record: romantic gestures and unrequited love, bad decisions on hot nights/hot decisions on bad nights, and unpinning it all, LA. For this is evidently a West Coast record, like a 2018 take on To Live and Die in LA: expansive, grand, and not a little crazy (in love) from the heat.
