Better Off

It's just one ride 
I promise I’ll be all right
I’m sure I’ll be better off
Bell rings in my head 
Pressures really hard 
Those heavy drops
Yes, delay the trial

He hits him twice as hard to make sure he feels the pain
Though I’m protected 
I’m sure I’ll be better off
Oh the cruel fate of his pathetic victim
I feel no shame or regret 
but I keep biting my nails

I’m sure i know his heart but who am I to tell 
He may be a violent fuck
But see if I care
His haircut and his motorbike
They drive me so close 
So who am I?

I decided to raise my bets so I pick the boy from the crowd
-It’s him- I hear the voice coming straight from my mouth
It’s his blood I seem to want to see
It’s his blood I swear 
it must be his blood

Hey boy you seem to know him well 
can you drop him home?
I’m protected

This night, 
Hey friend won’t you please look at the stars
They keep showing, one by one
Quick as the heartbeat when it comes ringing desperately
For tonight
I’m pressing my body right next to yours i know you’re empty
But you’re so cruel, how can I
Release myself from your stone muscles
Can I go now?
I’m not sure I can move that far

Warm weather mischief makers Lemonade return with "Dancer On The Shore," a subdued summertime collage of steel drums, buoyant electronic pads and windswept vocals. Joined by Dee Dee from Dum Dum Girls on vocals, "Dancer" is not a grand statement, but rather a celebration of the space where humans and nature exist in harmony.

Nearing a decade old and with a discography reaching deep into double figures across several different labels (Mexican Summer, Burger, Plastic Response Records) David Loca’s work under the Part Time moniker really shouldn’t require any introduction. Nonetheless, the release of what is officially his sixth album, fittingly titled Spell #6, does signal something of a re-birth and provides a compelling entry point for anyone new to Loca’s prolific output.

Whereas previous albums were notable for a charming lo-fi production, Spell #6 takes Part Time uptown. "I describe this album as 'my studio album', because it was entirely re-recorded at my drummer Walter Byer's studio, unlike most of my past releases being bedroom experimental pop recordings." Loca produced the record himself, impressively appropriating a classic 80s pop sound that recalls some of the more grand productions of that era - think Stephen Street’s expressive production on ‘Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me’, Crowded House and The Church’s widescreen interpolation of Paisley Underground jangle, and there's even traces Gerard McMann’s grandiose ‘Cry Little Sister’. In that sense, the record stands as an outlier in Loca’s catalogue, and in doing so sheds the sometimes limiting trappings of bedroom recording

Though it is Loca’s project, Spell #6 sees him joined by a consistent supporting cast of fellow writers and performers who add a poise and deftness to his vision, most notably Ariel Pink, who makes a guest appearance on lead single, ‘I Can Treat You Better’. 

A lead single for its obvious earworm qualities, it also functions as an ideal snapshot of  the lyrical themes that run through the entire record: romantic gestures and unrequited love, bad decisions on hot nights/hot decisions on bad nights, and unpinning it all, LA. For this is evidently a West Coast record, like a 2018 take on To Live and Die in LA: expansive, grand, and not a little crazy (in love) from the heat.
