"O Sweet Joe Pye" Written, performed, recorded, produced by C&C
Mastered by Jason Kuehn

O Sweet Joe Pye come on by to my house
On the second block of Trenton
It's the white one with the side-steps 
That my grandpa put in

Saint John, heather, timothy, and teary-eyed Queen Anne
Come around through the back way
'cause there ain't been a fence up 
Since the old garage burnt down

How high can you go?
Could you shimmy up the front door
Shutter up our windows
And hide the grey peeling paint on the front of the porch

How high will you grow?
Could you careen the filigree between the rust & the railing
With out failing on me

I know it looks bad, Dad
But I wouldn't say such things
I wouldn't say such horrible things---no!
Please go or I'm gonna 
Yell for Joe
I know that this was once your home
But you let the weeds take over
And now it's all over

Sweet Joe Pye
Could you keep 'em outside
The mean kids across the street
And every passerby
With judging eyes

They've got me telling little lies
And giving bad directions
Can't your leafage block their vision
O rise up for me

Sweet Joe Pye!

Janelle Monáe - Givin Em What They Love

The Casket Girls
True Love Kills the Fairy Tale
Out 2.11.14
pre-order the colored vinyl, cd or cassette here: www.graveface.com/graveface-catalog.html

So many pieces of Savannah, GA three-piece The Casket Girls seemed to happen by accident. From their beginning - when electronic sound-shaper Ryan Graveface (Graveface Records, Dreamend, Black Moth Super Rainbow) found sisters Phaedra and Elsa Greene under a tree in one of Savannah's many squares, playing Autoharp and singing bizarre songs - to the night they composed their sophomore album, True Love Kills the Fairy Tale, under circumstances that fall somewhere between séance and dream state, nearly everything about The Casket Girls seems to have been inspired by some kind of spooky happenstance. But then again, the Greene sisters don't believe in accidents.

"I dropped off a shit ton of songs to the girls to work on one night," Graveface says of the genesis of True Love, the follow up to Casket Girls' critically acclaimed 2012 debut. "I went back to check on their progress, because they weren't answering their phones. I don't know if they dropped acid or what, but I walked in and Elsa was sobbing and reciting poetry while Phaedra was just staring straight ahead writing it all down, like catatonic. The next day they dropped off a CD and said, 'We don't even know what's on this. You can throw it in the garbage if you want.' I sat down and listened all the way through and cried. I was like, 'Holy shit! They actually wrote a record like that!' I booked studio time and had them re-record every note just as it was on the demo. They really didn't remember any of it. Had to learn the songs as if someone else had written them entirely. Very bizarre."

Phaedra and Elsa had filled the disc with lilting, almost whimsical melodies about chemical hazes and love gone sour like a couple of fucked up Shangri-las, to which Graveface added a bevy of grinding, multi-dimensional psych-rock keys that will be familiar to anyone with a Graveface LP in their collection. The title track speaks like an unknown voice in a lucid dream - perhaps the one that conveyed these songs through the veil in the first place -beckoning, "True love kills the fairy tale... until heart and lungs fail." It's this twisted and comforting charm, which set in motion the Graveface-Greene love affair in the first place, that relieves us from fear.

The Casket Girls have gained momentum and a substantial cult following due to the unflagging catchiness of their songwriting and the compelling development of their live stage show. They spent the last year and a half touring in support of BMSR and the Faint before growing into headliners in their own right. Last year, they released a self-titled EP on Record Store Day, and a "cassingle" cassette store day.

The trio will hit the road for a slew of US dates, followed by a sojourn through Europe. Visit casketgirls.org to for tour date developments, new-music nuggets and more.
