+ July 2023 PART I

Phantom Youth

Stay And Run

Inhale fumes to worship you
In a sacred place this living room
Oh my god how could this be?
Another pure celebrity

Your head is hit cracked with a bloody bat
The spirit leaves and never comes back

Tangerine on your lips
You always make it bleed

Tangerine on your lips
You always make it sweet

The candle's lit and now I see
All the dead rotting underneath
how could I be so naive?
To idolize a fantasy

Your head is hit cracked with a bloody bat
The spirit leaves and never comes back

Don't need her warmth
Cause I'm sleeping with my phone on
Smoke and memories
Beside the moment
Don't eavesdrop with...

Tangerine on your lips
You always make it bleed

Tangerine on your lips
You always make it sweet

Killing a Spirit of the Living Room

No One

tight grip on your thigh
driving down 95
i wanted to feel new
i wanted to feel alive
even symbiotic roots 
make concrete crack
don’t think i would be the same man coming back
people change people grow
it’s ephemeral
pills are easier to swallow
when they’re general
the world goes one way
head spins centrifugal 
retain your essence
but it’s hazy with the physical

and i don’t know what you’re doing 
but i hope that you’re doing fine
because you’ve got your life now
and i’ve got mine
we had a sweet overlap
we were a pin on an uncharted map
and you felt so close
but i can’t hold you now

we live in different states now
conversation is estranged now
choking on the words
never said never heard
don’t feel like I can reach out
communication drowns out
lines get so blurred
a love deferred

and I don’t know what you’re doing 
but I hope that you’re doing fine
because you’ve got your life now
and I’ve got mine
we had a sweet overlap
we were a pin on an uncharted map
and you felt so close
but I can’t hold you now

hazy

CROCODILES - "Upside Down in Heaven"

Over the course of two well-received albums and numerous singles and compilation appearances, Jeanines have captured the ears of discerning listeners with a sound that recalls a diverse swathe of pop history, from 60s folk-pop and girl-group tunes to 80s DIY pop to solid gold 90s touchstones like The Aislers Set, The Cat's Miaow and the post-Black Tambourine bands of Pam Berry.

Now they're back with their first new tunes since 2022's "Don't Wait For A Sign" and the hits just keep on coming. "Each Day" is moody jangler that delivers melodic and emotional heft that belies its brief 1:43 length. Destined for 1,000 indiepop mixtapes, it's exactly the kind of song that the 7" was invented for. "What The Echoes Say" is a strummy delight, showcasing Alicia Jeanine's lovely vocal harmonies to maximum effect. "Tilt In Your Eye" wraps up this ace single -- it was Jeanines' contribution to Where It's At Is Where You Are's ace 2019 compilation "The Moon And Back" and appears here on vinyl for the first time.

Sometimes

Dayzed.
