Settle Down

Brett and I record one xmas song every year. This one isn't "exactly" your traditional xmas song but fuck it- it reminds us of xmas. Here's a cover for 2015.

Brick

Impossible to See

Takes Forever

One Night Away

In contrast to the last album, this is a song that celebrates what it feels like to fall in love rather than dwelling on the ways in which it can go wrong. First brought into existence several years ago, we breathe new life into 'Wedding Song' with a rerecorded version and cross-country dedication to Danny's sister, Katie, who is getting married this weekend in Maryland. Congrats!

Wedding Song

jamie - i heard you're happily divorced
i couldn't disconnect, but now i am sure
jamie - lately it's almost making sense
missing your friendship, now we're back here again
getting along with everyone

getting along
i live alone
living alone
getting along

jamie - i heard you're actually in love
these words will write themselves 
now i am sure you're never at home
getting along with everyone

Jamie

had the summer of our lives end abruptly in my room
had the nerve to never cry, but with the bandages removed
i'm like you
i don't want to be like you
how it would hurt to have you take my hand, then die
cut me loose
out the corner of my eye, i saw the sun begin to move
i'm like you
i don't want to be like you

Cut Me Loose

i don't have to buy you flowers - yet i do 
our arrangement ends up hours - but for you 

i will waste my precious time all alone 
do you dream about me like i do you? 
i would waste your precious time 

you imagine me as chosen - good for you 
could i keep you if i wanted? 
red and blue 

doesn't have to move 
doesn't seem so cruel 
doesn't need to choose 
i will save some space for you 
red and blue 

i will waste your precious time

Red And Blue

advance ignored 
young man, all grown up 
so lost standing in front of her 
my friend, you fucked up 
unveiled - keep it acceptable 

somewhat california 
somewhat high 
someone else's secondhand sunrise 
careful kid, you're cornered 
keep it unimportant 
waste my time 

advance absorbed 
young man, all laid up 
so cool walking away from her 
my friend, you lucked out 
unhinged - keep it intangible 

somewhat california 
somewhat high 
someone else's secondhand sunrise 
careful kid, you caught it 
keep it unimportant 
waste my time

Somewhat High

A Change At Christmas (Say It Isn't So)

Old Outfits is an elaborate recording project with band-like tendencies that formed in 2016 in Portland, Oregon. Led by singer-songwriter-producer Danny Welchy, you'll often collaboration with friends from the Discourse Community artist collective: Immediate Family, Family Mansion, YUVEES, B.R. Mount and the Doubt and more. After years of making albums and touring, Old Outfits released a short film called Change Everyone in October of 2021. The concept takes place in the form of a hybrid live performance/storyline that highlights four tracks from Clouds Over (2020), in addition an original film score. Danny is currently working on a 2022 documentary release for Old Outfits.
