BROKEN BONE BALLADS 

Broken Bone Ballads, the fourth LP from New Haven, Connecticut’s Ceschi Ramos, was written from the perspective of a man battling in court for over three years and anticipating a prison sentence while trying to maintain an indie record label and pay bills as a working musician out on bond. The album draws its title from a 2007 arm wrestling match with a Marine at a house party in Hawaii that left Ceschi with a spiral fracture of the humerus. Accentuated by Saskatoon producer Factor’s first foray into acoustic minimalism and a host of talented background players and vocalists, including a powerful guest verse from Sage Francis on “Barely Alive,” Ceschi’s narratives explore the plight of the modern working musician, the drop-in-the-ocean nature of pouring one’s life into art in a disposable digital age, and the eternal tug-of-war between despair and hope. 

With a sound largely eschewing the contemporary standards of drum machines and trap rap, Broken Bone Ballads relies on manipulated live instrumentation, analog synths, and samples as it moves seamlessly from breathless bars to acoustic punk-influenced folk. The 12-track album was inspired by community, mothers, girlfriends, fellow musicians, the writings of Xosé Tarrío González, Mayan artwork at the Yale Art Gallery, the loss of some of the most important people in Ceschi’s life, and a dehumanizing prison stint on dubious marijuana charges. With lyrics channeling Jeff Mangum (“Bite Through Stone”) and a delivery reminiscent of Freestyle Fellowship (“Forever 33”), Ceschi voices his frustration with a rigged system that ensures a life of groveling servitude for most and greedy excess for a few (“If a CEO can make billions / Then the world we know is filth ridden”) while holding out hope that through solidarity we can prevail (“All these tiny teeth together can bite through stone”). Ceschi meditates on the suffering he has experienced personally and witnessed on the road and in his community from junkies detoxing in jail cells, undocumented worker wage slaves, and corner boys running the 4AM New Haven streets. Broken Bone Ballads is simultaneously Ceschi’s most personal effort to date and a collection of stories and sketches that parallel the broader concepts of human suffering, failure, uncertainty, and perseverance.

Lyrics: 

Chorus: NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH 

Pat: 
Termites are eating my home and squirrels laugh at me through the walls. 
I hate to admit it, but most days I wake up and follow the laws. 
I used to dream my beliefs would lead me onto barricades with molotovs, but mostly they lead me straight to a line at the post office to send zines to someone behind bars. 
Ceschi: 
This city is killing me. Pretty sure New Haven PD wants all of my friends to go down. I walk down to Whalley and think of my fellow felons sleeping on overcrowded room grounds. 
My girlfriend can't handle the lifestyle I lead (Sorry Amber, I take this lyric back - you support me constantly, thank you) 
so I wander around this country, 
sleep on couches, 
play shows for 20 kids hoping they'll house me.
(sorry I'm allergic to cats)

Chorus: NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH 

Pat: Some just talk a good game—I can’t even do that. Some just want to look cool—-I don’t even wear black. Some just want an excuse for crime and destruction. I’m too afraid to shoplift, because last time I got busted. 

Ceschi:  I can promise you this, Officer Smith: you don’t need to piss-test me or re-arrest me. I’m just playing these shows, I’m a law-abiding citizen. Please give me my license back. I no longer sell crack. I’m just 33, rapping, broke, trying my hardest to cope on the road. Almost all of my homies know that. 

Chorus: NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH 


Pat The Bunny & Ceschi - This City Is Killing Me

Their 2015 album "Broken Bone Ballads" has already been considered a cult-folkhop classic in certain circles. A year later, Ceschi & Factor Chandelier have created a heavy hitting, multi-genre, four part song about elections, nostalgia, false prophets & general modern apathy.

Serenading a brick wall  
recorded by Ceschi

When I was young I used to scream 
And hope the world would hear me 
I'm growing quieter every year 
Writing for those who listen 

Serenading a Brick Wall 
That’s all 

Some cops they put guns to my head 
And called me fucking faggot 
Today I do not hate those men 
Mostly feel sorry for them 

They work as pawns 
Defending laws 
That are so flawed 
They’ll spend a lifetime misinformed 

When I was young I used to dream of utopias and heavens 
I’ll probably never see those things
But live as if they’ll exist 


There’s possibilities Beyond  
What we’ve got. 
And If I settle before I’m gone 
Then Im lost 

If no one ever hears this song 
well so what? 
I serenaded a brick wall
