another song for that children's album that I am very slowly making.
chords, E7 - A7

lyrics:
the bugs are back! (the bugs are back baby!) x 3
yeah they're back, back
and they're on the attack!
the bugs are back! (the bugs are back baby!) x 3
yeah they're back, back
and they're on the attack!

it's springtime now all the bugs came to life
they crawled outta the earth
and into my night-MARES
I tell you i'm so SCARED
I know they're itty bitty and I know that I don't! care!
what's goin' on in a bug's brain?
why they actin' so strange?
can they even feel pain?
I don't know I only know

the bugs are back! (the bugs are back baby!) x 3
yeah they're back, back
and they're on the attack!
the bugs are back! (the bugs are back baby!) x 3
yeah they're back
and they want you for a snack!

mosquitoes! bitin' my leg!
beetles! makin' me sick!
centipedes! I neva seen one
but if I did
you know you KNOW I'd be screamin'!
ants! now they're not so scary...
but spiders! when their legs get hairy...
I swear if I saw a fairy
I'd think it was a bug and smush it like a berry!

the bugs are back x4
they're livin' in the trees
they're flyin' so free
get away from me
oh bug is a verb and it means you bother me

the war has begun
they outnumber us a million to one
an ant can lift a hundred thousand tons
25 of them and we'll be done

RUN!

the bugs are back x8

The songs that we return to throughout our life are often, ironically, songs that we come to in a period of change: melodies that soundtrack love lost or direction found, lyrical fragments that invite us to process, a vitality that pushes us with confidence into unfamiliar territory. Frankie valet write those kinds of songs. Out 2/7 via It Takes Time Records, their new record Waterfowl is a collection that brims with eagerness and invention, that confronts both the clamour of youthful confusion and the stillness of nostalgia—in other words, it’s the sound of four friends growing together.

Frankie valet is Jack Elliott-Higgins on guitar and vocals, Felix Nelson on guitar and vocals, Gram Tolish on drums, and Alison Setili on bass and vocals. After a period of rotating through members, the lineup coalesced around the time the band recorded 2018’s Stop Apologizing, a charming and often understated document of a young band in transition.

Waterfowl, on the other hand, is something else entirely—an ambitious showpiece for a band simultaneously hitting their stride and exploring their range. Contemplative slowcore, MBV-indebted fuzz, post-punk propulsion, and good old-fashioned guitar heroics find a home on this record, often in the same song. The compositions are as unafraid to explore the corners of a placid groove as they are to veer off unexpectedly; mid-album highlight “Soft Skin” perhaps best captures this perfect blend of patience and restlessness, and the effect is something like Yo La Tengo with unmedicated ADHD.

The record is also a fitting companion to Frankie valet’s combustible live show, translating the band’s energy into a warm, lived-in mid-fi zone perfectly suited to songs that embrace dynamics in both decibel and feeling. These four perform with the urgency of a group that knows first hand the actualizing power of a basement show, and Waterfowl is smart to preserve that sense of purpose.

It’s a purpose born of their fertile, sometimes overlooked St. Louis scene, the accidental orbit of friendship and inspiration from which they emerged (Jack met Felix at a show in 2016 when Felix, only 19, asked Jack to buy him a beer). Likewise, the band’s process reflects the creative crossfire of any healthy scene—they write collaboratively, sharing lyrical duties among the vocalists and bringing musical ideas to practice in their infancy, for the group to flesh out together. The words and music reverberate with their communal origins.

“Everyone is speechless from afar,” goes the refrain to tone-setting album opener “Nakid.” As a negative formulation of Frankie valet’s power, it’s a perfect lyric: Waterfowl is a record that invites closeness as an antidote to voicelessness, that celebrates shared growth in all its thrills and embarrassments. And best of all, it’s just the first step. - Nathan Tucker
