Circles

Oh Forever

2nd song from the Konrad album Artbreak. Available August 11th 2017 on Radical Turf Records.

Lyrics:

Sour patch kid got me flippin' my lid, 
can't find her location cause shes off the grid. 
Seems like I'm living in the land of the dead. 
On the up and up. On the up and down. 
On the down and down got me feeling so low, 
they don't make medication for this situation. 
On the up and up like a positive thought, 
till I hit the ceiling fan and my head gets caught. 
Then I say ouch cause you know that it hurts! 
On the up and up. On the up and down. 
On the down and down like an opium den, 
and I cant feel my body when your in my skin. 
Then you pump helium into my head. 
On the up and up. On the up and down. 
On the up and down like a teeter totter, 
high up in the sky and then deep in the water. 
No middle ground just a polar yo-yo on the up and up. 
Everybody knows that the world ain't right, 
but you don't gotta bitch and moan about it all night. 
On the up and up. On the up and down. 
On the up and up but I'm scared on heights, 
so you can't cut me loose like a runaway kite. 
Turn on the lights in the middle of the night. 
cause you're up and up. 
Cause you're up and down. 
Going down so low I think I'm going to hell, 
at least I wont be cold and my friends are there. 
Then you show up and start giving me hell. 
On the up and up. On the up and down. 
Everybody knows that there's thought control, 
but you don't gotta think about it all the time. 
On the up and up. On the up and down. 
Everybody knows (you can ring my bell).

Artbreak

Up And Up

First track from Konrad's "Artbreak" album available August 11th 2017 on Radical Turf Records.

Lyrics:

Are you really there? 
Or are you just a product of my imagination? 
A little dream I had one long and drowsy day. 
Are you really there? 
Or are you just a product of my fantasies? 
A simple shadow of a dream within a dream within a dream. 
Are you really here? 
Two feet upon the ground your head up in the sky. 
Horizon acting as a diamond in your eye. 
Are you really here? 
Or are you just a product of my imagination?

Are You (Really There)

Konrad is the musical expression of Rock Island, Illinois resident Jeffrey Konrad. Konrad's music puzzles together a unique brand of vocal poetics with a sorted sonic DNA that exhibits strains of indie, folk and electronic. Konrad has released music in the past on various record labels including: Deep Elm, Future Appletree and Diskatopia as well as Radical Turf (an imprint he founded with the purpose of releasing compilation albums and various solo material). In a previous incarnation, Konrad released experimental electronic music under the moniker "Robot USA" as well as some folksy singer-songwriter musings as "Struggle in the Hive" (a collaboration with Patrick Stolley). Konrad's debut album "Loose Canyons" charted on the CMJ Top-200 upon it's release in 2008. Konrad's recent effort "Shadow Boxing" (Radical Turf) unites the many various musical styles that Konrad draws inspiration from into an eclectic and cohesive musical statement. Shadow Boxing, recorded over the course of 2 years, is a panoramic of an artist documenting the ups and downs of everyday and not-so-everyday routine. Konrad's Shadow Boxing displays a diversity and originality of sound which transcends the conventional.
