Lyrics:

Why was I born without a storm to weather?
Why was I born into a place where I could see the sun?
Why do the blues seem a greener pasture?
Why is this state such a seasonless one?

Sadness looks better with gray skies and sweaters
The California sun just doesn't match

Can't look so blue with those Berkeleyan hues
Oh
I wish I were sad
Sad in the Midwest

Cue the applause from the one hand clapping
What is the sound of a scene kid crying all alone?
Signal the sound of the left shoe dropping
Where is the fruit of the seeds that I've sewn?

Dance halls are all full in states where the corn grows
The Oklahoma air just breeds despair

Can't sing the blues with these golden gate views
I wish I were sad
Sad in the Midwest

So
Sleeping in storm clouds gets old
Waking at midnight beholding
The light of the
Funeral moon
You have entombed

The dance halls look better
With gray skies and sweaters
The California air don't breed despair

Can't look so blue with these golden gate views
Why can't
I be
Sad
Sad in the Midwest?

Sad In The Midwest

First single off our debut album "Continue?", out December 1st everywhere

LYRICS:
Insert a quarter
If life's worth living with anxiety disorder
Stealing every instant
A pained existence for no good reason

Insert a quarter
To sing your blues to the windows voice recorder
A tree in a forest, falling on purpose
WIth no one there to hear

Press start to open
A nice career as a software boy in Oakland
Press some keys and hoard your wealth
Or maybe you could kill yourself
Well you know, it's always an option

I've been trying so damn hard
To pick myself up off the ground
It's one step forward
And nineteen backward
Why can't I just play these songs, please?
And still eat

New game, continue
Your save's corrupted but it's better than what you'd go through
Starting a new one
Too old to waste time, but too young to give it up
So pick a dead end, chill out 'till you die

I've been trying so damn hard
To pick myself up off the ground
It's one step forward
And nineteen backward
Why can't I just play these songs, please?
And still eat

'Cause no one
Will pay me to live a decent life

Continue?

Everyone just sitting in the pig pen
Clawing at the scraps that they can find
Each of them afraid that they will die
But no one really wants to be alive

But no one's keepin anybody down here
Hanging from a bootstrap like a noose
Colorblind and tonedeaf to the culture
We'll criticize whichever birth you choose

Fuck you better make your life productive
Or market forces put you to your curse
Opiates or alcohol will find you
At least you'll get the drug that you deserve

But no one's keepin anybody down here
Hanging from a bootstrap like a noose
Colorblind and tonedeaf to the culture
We'll criticize whichever birth you choose

don't look down
or you'll get scared
that three bad days
or one bad year
would you put you
in the same damn place
as him
and it's fucking cold
it's fucking cold
how the fuck do you hold

But no one's keepin anybody down here
Hanging from a bootstrap like a noose
Colorblind and tonedeaf to the culture
We'll criticize whichever birth you choose

"Good Days"

LYRICS:
The years flew by
Now we don't believe in anyone
Looser ties
Until we lost control
I think it's time to go where the good days have gone.
In time, even the boldest will be fine lines
Like the wrinkles on our skin
Signs of the outside looking in
A tear rolls down your chin
I bet we won't believe it til age is here
And breaking down the door
I find myself reaching for more
Going back to what's in store
Oh, the years flew by
Now we don't believe in anyone
Looser ties
Until we lost control
I think it's time to go where the good days have gone.
If I knew that nothing else would ever be like
All the nights we let ourselves go
Well then I would have held them close...
Closer than I did.
I guess they might have warned us 
That youth would flee without so much as a goodbye.
I find myself reaching for more
Going back to what we know.
The years flew by
Now we don't believe in anyone
Looser ties
Until we lost control
I think it's time to go where the good days have gone.
Where I'm with you.

NALA + NUSI - The Way

Two High

Number 5 in our series of online premiere's, pulled from our "Fantasy 12inch A-Sides".

A long-time friend and contributor since the beginning - the mysterious Edo Lang is back with his signature style of highly emotive dance floor bliss. Inspired by the natural awe of Queensland’s Glass House Mountains - Edo beautifully emulates the inspiring Australian landscape through his lush pads and dry, high impact drum rhythms. 

It’s our pleasure to take you on a journey away from the hustle of city life, to the  hinterlands of the Glass House mountains - courtesy of Edo lang.

Lyrics

Come, before the sunlight leaves
Before it's dark and the creature retreats
Perched in the tree
A cedar waxwing
Ya gotta see

Son, look at this wonderful thing
A machine, controllers and PVC
Deer, in a pair
Watch them animate
By gusts of air

There is a signal your heart emits
Between its beating
In frequencies that cast themselves
With no one receiving

Son, I wish you lived near to me
In those days, something separated me
And know that I know
There's no one
No one home

There is a signal your heart emits
Between its beating
In frequencies that cast themselves
With no one receiving

It's like I'm young again
I'm breathing
I'm walking with my son along the shore
Love is pure

Signal
