Nap Eyes - When I Come Around

Black White Fuzz

Omaha, NE’s Twinsmith will release their sophomore album Alligator Years on May 5th, 2015 via Saddle Creek – their first full-length for the label.

Alligator Years expands upon the charming surfy haze of Twinsmith’s 2013 eponymous album and “Honestly” single, with the band pushing themselves musically while moving toward a more dynamic pop sound. Each diverse track is imbued with an individual voice and style, and ranges from propulsive, melodic rock (“Seventeen”) to buoyantly playful pop (“Alligator Years”, “Said and Done”); from soaring, sing-along retro pop (“Is It Me”) to sumptuous, evocative new wave (“Constant Love”); from shimmery, summery pop (“Said and Done”, “Haunts”) to moody, slowburning ballads (“Dust”, “Carry On”). There’s a youthful sense of longing and exploration that permeates the album, which reflects on the highs and lows, advantages and disadvantages, hopes and fears of 20-something life with crafty, unassuming depth. Not just any band can examine anxiety, uncertainty, and commitment through tales of homicidal girlfriends and zombie apocalypses with such aplomb.


Twinsmith - Alligator Years

This is the first single from the June 2015 album release, "Stars and Dust" by Songs of Water

The skeletons grew skin
Dirt gave birth to eyes
The blind could see again 
For the very first time

The colors coming back
To a pale midnight view
I forgot myself
I was caught staring at you
						
One foot upon the earth
One foot disappears
What I thought was just a moment
Became 500 years

And I could stay even longer
So long as you are here
You can draw the backdrop whatever
So long as you stay near

Never been lost in love
Never been lost in light - seeing for the first time

The sky pours voices 
Down across the plain
11 miles left to run
And I can taste the scent of rain


11 Miles

LYRICS:

I tried, you know, just to tow the line: love all the neighbors, live in the light.  Sure I stumbled sometimes.  Self-contained (a convenient lie).  Every source of pain, every sting of pride had to come from the outside.  But you.  You won't even fight me fair.  Wait for the darkness catch me unaware. You pull me close.  Then you twist the knife.  I don't wanna live with the kinds of trouble I keep finding myself in.  Mirror to my left, mirror to my right.  A void stretching out on either side.  Is it your face or mine?  Try to leave a mark.  We carve our names.  All cornered animals behave the same then get eaten alive.  So that's it.  I wash my hands, I cut my ties to the world and it's vicious appetites.  Yes I am ready to die.  I don't wanna live with the kinds of trouble I keep finding myself in.  Something’s gotta give when the water keeps on rising and the walls are closing in. How long can I keep this tired act together?  It's one short ambulance ride and then the waiting room forever.  Tell me how do I make the right move now?  Prepare me for the moment when my mind goes out.  I am trying hard to follow the sound.

/// Lyrics:

Don't let me stop you in your tracks
I just wanna know when you're coming back
Go get the deal, go make your name
Say all the names that you gotta say
It's not like I'm waiting

It's not like I'm sitting here alone
Doing dumb shit on the phone
Trying to kiss you through the screen
Trying to see you and not be seen
It's not like I'm waiting
Completely indifferent
Can't you tell the difference?

And if I was waiting
It would be cause
A girl's used to fading herself out

I've got a funny thing about
Saying what I want aloud
You push it so far down below
It's here with its hands around my throat
It's not like I'm waiting

I'm fading 

Most people say it's nature's way
That I give and that you take
What will it be, My Love, today?
It's getting hard for me to say

Cause if I want
You baby
You can't just watch
As I'm fading myself out
As I'm fading myself out
