Misoneism

So, How Do U Feel?

Come step right up
to king
Oh, to King City
Where everyone’s a king

The lights are bright 
in king
Oh, in King City
And we all can be kings

And you won’t care about
You won’t care about
You won’t care about it
Yeah, you won’t care about
You won’t care about it
You won’t care about shit

(In king)
Oh, in King City
Where everyone’s a king

The streets are wide
in king
Oh, in King City
So come get all the things

Then you won’t care about
you won’t care about it
You won’t care about it
And you won’t care about
You won’t care about
You won’t care about shit

(In King)
Oh, King City
They’ll die without a thing

Yeah, nothing’s real in king
Oh, in King City

But they’ll say it’s everything

Oh, in King City
Oh in King City
Where nothing means a thing

Oh it don’t care about
It don’t care about
It don’t care about it
Yeah, it don’t care about
It don’t care about
It don’t care about
shit.

King City, Pt. 1 - Edit

Pulling from a wide palette of influences––from early 80s post-punk and New Wave, to techno, dance-punk, and mid-aughts indie rock––Modern Culture is the debut album from LOVVS, and is the kind of genre-bending record you’d find somewhere in the DFA catalogue. The album’s consistency is found in its sweeping synths, dance-worthy beats, sharp, often biting lyrics, and especially catchy vocals and bass lines. In other words, LOVVS’ “ability to craft compositions that will continue to swirl through your head,” as reviewers have noted. (But that’s not to overlook the little bit of “weird” thrown in for good measure.) 

Modern Culture features 10 tracks, and was recorded and co-produced by Beau Sorensen (Death Cab for Cutie, Sparklehorse, Garbage). The album also features a number of guest appearances by notable Bay Area artists including vocals from pop artist Lyrah, and drums and percussion by Jason Slota (Theo & The Get Down Stay Down, Tune-Yards).
