Why blue

we are not releasing this, but these are my best friends and they deserve attention

Kilometers Davis formed in the fall of 2015, over the course of three name changes, two new guitarists, and one new bassist, they found their way into becoming one of the greatest WashU punk band of their era. They weren't the only one, but no one knew how to get the kids moving like they did. This is only a very small portion of the many songs they wrote and played over the years. Here's to the reunion.

https://ittakestimerecords.bandcamp.com/album/waterfowl

The songs that we return to throughout our life are often, ironically, songs that we come to in a period of change: melodies that soundtrack love lost or direction found, lyrical fragments that invite us to process, a vitality that pushes us with confidence into unfamiliar territory. Frankie valet write those kinds of songs. Out 2/7 via It Takes Time Records, their new record Waterfowl is a collection that brims with eagerness and invention, that confronts both the clamour of youthful confusion and the stillness of nostalgia—in other words, it’s the sound of four friends growing together.

Frankie valet is Jack Elliott-Higgins on guitar and vocals, Felix Nelson on guitar and vocals, Gram Tolish on drums, and Alison Setili on bass and vocals. After a period of rotating through members, the lineup coalesced around the time the band recorded 2018’s Stop Apologizing, a charming and often understated document of a young band in transition.

Waterfowl, on the other hand, is something else entirely—an ambitious showpiece for a band simultaneously hitting their stride and exploring their range. Contemplative slowcore, MBV-indebted fuzz, post-punk propulsion, and good old-fashioned guitar heroics find a home on this record, often in the same song. The compositions are as unafraid to explore the corners of a placid groove as they are to veer off unexpectedly; mid-album highlight “Soft Skin” perhaps best captures this perfect blend of patience and restlessness, and the effect is something like Yo La Tengo with unmedicated ADHD.

The record is also a fitting companion to Frankie valet’s combustible live show, translating the band’s energy into a warm, lived-in mid-fi zone perfectly suited to songs that embrace dynamics in both decibel and feeling. These four perform with the urgency of a group that knows first hand the actualizing power of a basement show, and Waterfowl is smart to preserve that sense of purpose.

It’s a purpose born of their fertile, sometimes overlooked St. Louis scene, the accidental orbit of friendship and inspiration from which they emerged (Jack met Felix at a show in 2016 when Felix, only 19, asked Jack to buy him a beer). Likewise, the band’s process reflects the creative crossfire of any healthy scene—they write collaboratively, sharing lyrical duties among the vocalists and bringing musical ideas to practice in their infancy, for the group to flesh out together. The words and music reverberate with their communal origins.

“Everyone is speechless from afar,” goes the refrain to tone-setting album opener “Nakid.” As a negative formulation of Frankie valet’s power, it’s a perfect lyric: Waterfowl is a record that invites closeness as an antidote to voicelessness, that celebrates shared growth in all its thrills and embarrassments. And best of all, it’s just the first step. - Nathan Tucker

"i wrote this one, most of the structure and rough lyrics, one morning in the shower. It was a much mellower song but i brought it to practice and it got rowdier and rowdier and now it’s our fastest punkiest song. It’s about my many year relationship falling apart  and not knowing how to get out of it without hurting myself more. It’s supposed to be simple and direct musically and lyrically, it’s supposed to make you jump & scream & be proud for trying at all." - Jack

Our apartment - Frankie valet

i don't really wanna be alone right now
you take away all those thoughts somehow
trying not to be a burden
i know you live your own live and it's unhealthy to depend
you say you're sorry
you have felt this way before and it improves eventually
you think it's beautiful i get attached so easily
one day i'll hear somebody tell me that they got attached to me
i am thankful you're my friend
i am thankful this won't end
'cause i can't handle another loss like that again
so i am glad you want to be my friend

yea we get sad yea we get lonely yea get scared
it might go slowly
but you can always call me

thank you x3

it's hard to feel my best
on a call with me and you and all the rest
is it safe where you are?
i've been trying not to write you something dumb on my guitar
too late, here we are
it's an unhealthy behavior but it helps when you feel far
and you feel far
you're all so far

i miss you
