Washed & Round No. 14/Rocc Melange Review

Back in 2008, a lot of heads turned to clock Crystal Stilts' Alight Of Night, their first album after a string of here-today-gone-tomorrow singles and EPs. It wasn't exactly a surprise - Crystal Stilts felt like part of a new age dawning, of underground collectives and random, crazy groups who'd rediscovered the joys of noise-pop and set about creating their own Creations - but there was something unique about Crystal Stilts, something hermetic yet gorgeous about the world they created. With their new album, "In Love With Oblivion," they stretch things further still, honing their songcraft, indulging their more strung-out sides, full of elliptical verses and perfectly chiming guitars, cranky pop organs and the punkest of rhythms. It's a perfect blend of pop smarts and beguiling experiment.

"In Love With Oblivion" is out April 12 on Slumberland Records in the US and April 11 on Fortuna Pop! in the UK.

Throw It Away

Sitting in my room I got nothing on
radio man won't even play my song
I hope that I can show you before too long why I done what I done.
Everyone I know is all hooked up
my solitude just hit me like a truck
I wanna pick myself up out of this rut for one brief moment.

So won't you come on out with me tonight
'cause I'm so tired of being so lonely
Yeah come on out with your boy tonight
If you don't got no money you can have one on me
oh have one on me

Remember playing with your dog in the yard
remember when life wasn't so fucking hard
remeber when we didn't have to feel so much all the time.
Playing with your demons is fun sometimes
yeah playing with your demons is fun sometimes
fun 'til it completely destroys your life and you're back here alone.

So won't you come on out with me tonight
'cause I'm so tired of being so lonely
Yeah come on out with your boy tonight
If you don't got no money you can have one on me
oh have one on me

I'm not afraid to tell you how I feel
I'm sick of nothing in my life being real
sometimes I think pain is the only thing that I feel that makes me feel alive.
Yes man, I'm physically attracted to you
but hey that ain't nothing new
been attracted to everyone I ever knew... What's up with that?

So won't you come on out with me tonight
'cause I'm so tired of being so lonely
Yeah come on out with your boy tonight
If you don't got no money you can have one on me
oh have one on me

Sometimes I stab you in the face for a cigarette
sometimes I give you all I have and nothing less
my human nature has got me under some great distress
I don't wanna talk no more
I just wanna drown my troubles
there's really nothing more about it that I can say
I just wanna take my pain away for one brief moment

So won't you come on out with me tonight
'cause I'm so tired of being so lonely
Yeah come on out with your boy tonight
If you don't got no money you can have one on me
oh have one on me
