Blissin' (Don't Wake Me)

Kaptan - Hardest Part

this is the first new single from the 2018 work drugs spring collection. Miami Nights is a sun soaked, vodka infused slice of smooth pop, the falls well within the pantheon of the work drugs universe. If you are new, welcome, if you are familiar, welcome back.

Who is ready for some pool time?
Lyrics

Hanging tough, Friday nights 
First slow dance, still hoping to get it right
I want you to know
A lonely heart, it never can show
Take me back, a need in your eyes
Baby come a little closer, we’ll be alright
One chance, no regrets
I swore to you a promise I’d never forget

Take me home
Im ready to fight
This time I know I’ll get it right
Straight talk, where we begin
Go for broke, shut it down and we’ll do it again

So take it off, you got the touch
Don’t it feel like heaven, no its never too much
You hunger, for paradise
So you trade Hollywood for those Miami nights
How long, it’s a mystery
Your mind is made up and you wanna believe
You still searching , for emotion
You’re holding on that feeling since the day it was broken

Take me home
Im ready to fight
This time I know I’ll get it right
Straight talk, where we begin
Go for broke, shut it down and we’ll do it again
We’ll do it again

Taken
Gets harder to admit
Shakin, why don’t you let me quit
Breaking, coming back
Way down low, 
Feels like years since we ran the show

Take me home
Im ready to fight
This time I know I’ll get it right
Straight talk, where we begin
Go for broke, shut it down and we’ll do it again
Take me home
Im ready to fight
This time I know I’ll get it right
Straight talk, where we begin
Go for broke, shut it down and we’ll do it again
Come on come on till the morning light
Where do we begin? Where do we begin?

Canshaker Pi - Put A Record Out

Produced and mixed by Chris McCrory of Catholic Action at Parr Street Studios.

Who You Are

BOYTOY is a summer-time strut down a New York City sidewalk as the sun slips behind the horizon where cement meets the shore and waves crash on pavement. Their sound ebbs and flows between natural harmony and destruction—embodying the bright grooves of the 1960’s with heavy guitar riffs snatched from the Lower East Side of the 1970’s.
 
Their forthcoming sophomore LP, Night Leaf, was born on a ranch in Topanga Canyon, California, surrounded by three dogs, two pigs, nostalgic tones of warm tube amps,  analog tape machines and a slew of old trucks, RV’s, and surfboards. With a fresh collection of genuine tunes and contagious rhythms, founding members Saara Untracht-Oakner (vocals, guitar) and Glenn Michael Van Dyke (vocals, guitar), were joined by Chase Noelle (drums, ex-Thelma and The Sleaze) and Lena Simon (bass, La Luz), to record at producer Kyle Mullarky’s renowned Pump House Studio. Mullarky is well known for his work producing and recording California bands including The Growlers and Allah-Las.
 
Since 2014, BOYTOY has released a self-titled EP, their debut full-length, Grackle, in 2015 (both on Papercup Music for vinyl + digital, Burger Records for cassette) and several 7” singles with various labels including Little Dickman, Bob Records and Swiss label Sacred Hood Records, garnering praise from outlets such as Rolling Stone, NYLON, Noisey, Stereogum and SPIN, to name just a few.   They’ve spent the last three years touring extensively across the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, the UK and Europe, hitting SXSW, Growlers Six Festival, Northside Festival, while sharing the stage with Midnight Oil, Surfer Blood.

Night Leaf is due out Spring 2018 in the US and U.K./EU, when BOYTOY will head back out on the road to spread catchy grooves coast to coast and across the ocean.

LYRICS

Take me for a ride
Keep me by your side
We could drive to the moon
Walking through the park
Leave you in the dark
You know I'll be back soon

Oh, wherever you go
Oh, wherever you go
Oh, wherever you go
I'll be there

Feeling so alive
Want to see the light
Show me what you can do
Reaching for the sky
Make you realize
Make you feel something new

Oh, wherever you go 
Oh, wherever you go 
Oh, wherever you go 
I'll be there

Feels like I’m driving back home
Like I’m driving back
Home
Home

Glo Ride

Dream pop quartet BOYS release their sumptuous new offering Hollywood, crafting a wave of blissful, hazy soundscapes and evocative tones to kick-start 2018 in style. Written and recorded following the conclusion of their debut US tour last year, 

Hollywood captures the band’s creative tendencies in full flow with delicate tones and warm, fuzzy guitar work drawing obvious comparisons to Beach Fossils, Real Estate and Wild Nothing.

Hollywood

ARTIST: Bonny Doon
ALBUM TITLE: Longwave
LABEL: Woodsist
CATALOG NUMBER: woodsist093
RELEASE DATE: March 23, 2018

Arriving in the early months of 2017, Bonny Doon’s self-titled debut was a warm introduction to the Detroit quartet for many. Hazy and bright, the album’s woozy melodies and swirling webs of summery guitar textures were easily ingested as low-key slacker pop, blissfully awash in lo-fi sensibilities and dreamy ambiance. But the nonchalant breeziness belied a serious attention to songcraft that beckoned careful listening, and hinted at depths yet unexplored. Lo and behold, before the ink was even dry on the first record, work had already begun on its follow-up Longwave, a conscious about-face from the sonic experimentation of the first album, and a journey inward.

Opting for spontaneity and simplicity over the exploration of layers and textures that defined the first record, the band architected an incredibly intimate sound for these new songs. The album was tracked with minimal overdubs or production flourishes, constructing a frame that is spare and understated. The songs on Longwave amble through moonlit fields of melancholy guitar leads and self-reflection, the collection unfolding almost as one uninterrupted conversation with self. The session aimed to capture the band at their essence. With the superfluous stripped away, a gentle but steadfast spiritual core is revealed as the backbone of Bonny Doon’s cosmic American music.

LYRICS

Fill the holes in me
Make this room alive.
Spit and spill on the floor.
Ruin my sweet disorder.

Shake my dreams, put me on my knees.
‘Cos you are the one who makes me see.
Be so tough ‘til you change my way.
And say I’m not yours ’til I make you see.

Make me feel the craze.
Just a glimpse of a gaze.
Bite my heart so hard.
Mark your voice in me.

Challenge my soul, let it burn in hell.
School me to death and make me a man.
Wash my sins and then let ‘em sink.
Make me bleed ’til I’m someone new.

So long I tried to find you.
But there was no-one quite like you before.
You are my religion.

lyrics 


I was thinking bout our younger years
She never stopped believing
She only wanted to prove them wrong
But that was long ago
God its been so long
I still remember every Friday night
You’d throw your arms around me,  running wild
Hand in hand together
Head first and falling
American Girl
Turning my whole world around
American girl
She knows that the hardest part is the coming down
Coming down
Flying high we never seem to take the time
We took it to the heart
But tow the party line
So now I know what love takes
Oh I want it
Enough with holding back
She said,
Lets quit the games and pretending
Tonight lets go all the way
So if they say that were crazy
Baby lets go insane
American Girl
Turning my whole world around
American girl
She knows that the hardest part is the coming down
Coming down
The hardest part is the coming down
The hardest part is the coming down
You got the feeling inside you
Don’t give up on the night
She’s got a reason to live
I gotta reason to fight
American girl
Come on come on 
Coming down
Coming down
Coming down
Coming down

American girl
Coming down baby
Coming down, don’t you dare look down
I use to know her very well
She knows that the hardest part is the coming down, coming down
Coming down, coming down, American girl
Coming down, coming down, American girl
Coming down, coming down, American girl
Coming down, coming down, American girl
