Lyrics:
Are we gonna make it baby, are we gonna die 
I don’t wanna fake it baby, I would love to try if that’s all good 

Saying something baby, flies right over head 
Pick the pieces up and try to start again 

She spent the whole night coming in the city
In the meantime, I was just loading up the free time 
Maybe we could spend it in the sunshine, baby how long? 

Your cigarette it never ends, just let it burn 
Mystified all the time, I never learn 

She spent the whole night coming in the city
In the meantime, I was just loading up the free time 
Maybe we could spend it in the sunshine, baby how long?

Lately It Feels Alright

It’s funny how all the demos we’ve accumulated can change over time ... Sometimes the early versions & rough mixes that stick out the most now didn’t when we were making them, as is the case with ‘Habits’. 

We originally bounced this mix when we were still working on overdubs, but then we lost the project file after Chris spilled a bunch of coffee on his laptop.  We rediscovered this version while sifting through demos one night at our house a couple months later.

If we could reopen that file, I’m sure we’d find some shitty preset sounds, a guitar amp simulator on the vocal track, and tons of crude, approximate EQ and compression.   If we still had the Logic file, we'd probably want to change and rerecord a bunch of stuff.  In a way we’re thankful that this particular track is frozen in time, because if we had a chance to dive back into it, I’m not sure we’d be able to get into the right headspace to improve on it.  

After the coffee spill we started backing up all our files to de cloud, and we'll probably continue to exhaustively revise our current projects, but just this once it’s kinda nice to release something we never got the chance to split hairs over. 

“Habits" is the first song we’ve released where Chris (keyboard + guitar) sings lead vocals.  It's the first song off Loosies, a collection of demo versions & B-sides from the sessions for the Baby Blue Suede EP that came out last year.  Loosies is out 2/16, along with a deluxe cassette from Invertebrate Music.

lyrics:

the animal spirits got you right where they want u
calling me up again
and no-one said it was gonna be easy
to let go of who u knew

catch me dodging feels like
ray man wearing ray bans
I need to be alone
won't catch me in the daylight
cuz I don't like to go outside
I need to be alone

u can never get back baby
no no no
get back to where you belong
and no matter how much u want to
don't u know 
I need to be alone

u can't get back there
and I don't really care at all
no I don't really care

get back baby

'SUNSHINE' out now :)
