Do Your Worst

Cracker Island (feat. Thundercat)

FOUND SOUNDS COMBINED WITH A SENSE OF INTENT AND NARRATIVE REGARDING THE POTENTIAL OF US ALL AS WE ENTER A NEO COLLECTIVE SPIRIT THAT FOCUSES ON INDIVIDUAL PROGRESS SHAPED THROUGH RECLAIMED MATERIALS WHILE NEVER KNOWING THEIR ORIGINAL FORMATION. UMMMMMMmmm it's really a meditative soundscape.

LOVE LETTERS 
(Bryant/Cifuentes)
Lyrics by Tracy Bryant
Tracy: Vocals, Guitar
Robert: Bass, Synth, Drums

I'm not gonna think about the times together
I don't wanna hear about the stormy weather
I thought I'd be no good without you
you know I'm alright without you
I can get by without you
I don't wanna know about the love letters
I don't wanna hear about no ever after
It doesn't matter how it was founded 
you say there's no way around it
that I better not take it for granted
I don't wanna hear the cries
I don't care about the times
I don't wanna know about the love letters
I don't believe in no ever after

CORNERS - "Love Letters"

Notes on track:  inspired by an actual millipede that inhabited Nima's bedroom for a whole year revealing itself every once in a while before quickly going into hiding.

"Nima Kazerouni is a person who never has nothing going on, and in that spirit here’s a new song by Crown Plaza, one of his many varied off-center pop projects. “No Need To Shout” is a teaser for a long-in-coming full-length produced by Scott Barber of the Barber Shop, as well as a gentle take on what happens when you’re feeling like you’re spread too thin, set to a jangle-y New Zealand-y pop song with a Verlaines-y tempo switch in the middle. As Kazerouni explains:

“The song is about the growing pains associated with going beyond and finding your higher self in the midst of work, relationships, and any of life’s daily obstacles. There is a dialogue that is constantly happening between each of us and everything in the universe and we tend to tune it out despite all the signs and lessons that are presented right in front of us to help us grow and learn. I’ve been practicing Transcendental Meditation for over 10 years now and it’s helped get me get attuned to the higher energy frequencies but I find myself getting pulled in and out of the lows and highs all the time. The song references all of this in a light-hearted and jokey way.” - LA RECORD
