Two Inch Astronaut make a surprise return with two new songs, "Check Please" and "Humorist," recorded together with J. Robbins.

"We wrote these two songs in 2018 right before we made the decision to take a break from the band. As the ten year anniversary of Foulbrood loomed, we thought it'd be cool to do something slightly less backward looking than a reissue or reunion, so we reworked these two more recent tunes and finally got around to recording them. We all live in different places now and more than anything it was just great to have an excuse to be together again (and to hang with J Robbins). 

Both of the songs are about the solipsism of pursuing anything creative, but the experience of recording them was a nice reminder of how many great times and irreplaceable friendships came from doing this silly thing, so can't be all bad."

In its fifth year, the traditional January 27th release spirals around Mark Vernon’s birthday. Interestingly, the "year one" occurred just a few weeks before we began communicating. As with many occasions, we can wonder whether it was precognition or coincidence...

Lyrics:
I don't know why I'm walking
through these streets at night alone
when will my love be here
when will you come and save me?

I'm like a submarine
I'm looking through the periscope
nobody sees me
my eyes are only open for you
mind is barely open.

down in the soil
up in smoke
a huff of heavy fumes
trying not to think of then,
when she was always hiding.

I don't know why I'm walking
down this road
the 'ship has flown
soared out of the atmosphere
like you're already losing
mind, you're barely bruising
mind, you're barely losing
losing.
