In December 2013 Lettuce was finishing up what was by all accounts there most fruitful and successful year too date.  They were all gathered in their defacto hometown of  Brooklyn for a week long run at Brooklyn Bowl and their last show of the year at the Capitol Theater. 

Never ones to waste a moment, Lettuce took their time together in December in between shows to record two new original tracks, “Don’t Be Afraid To Try”, which features vocalist Alecia Chakour, and “Yakitori”.  “Don’t Be Afraid To Try” is sure to be a Lettuce staple for years to come, seamlessly blending the Lettuce sound with timeless R&B vocals.  Alecia is currently touring with the band and fitting in perfectly.  “Yakitori” is classic hard-tiiing instrumental Lettuce at its best.  This is the sound that fans have come to expect from the band and “Yakitori” shows that the direction of the bands sound is still pushing funk to new heights!

Lettuce is offering these two singles for FREE through their soundcloud and on limited edition 7 in vinyl.  You can pre-order the vinyl HERE.  The tracks are also up on iTunes now.

It was a special year for the Lettuce collective in which they played huge dates at Bonnaroo, Summer Camp, the Fillmores in Denver and San Francisco and made it to a ton of cities for the first time, always met by eager fans new and old.  Lettuce Spring tour starts tonight at the Roxy in LA and rolls on through April 6.  The band then will celebrate Jazzfest at their Annual Royal Family Ball before a monster schedule of high profile festival appearances.

LYRICS:
VERSE 1
I kinda hate dancing but ill dance tonight
Don’t ask me why, i just might.
I just took four shots of the JD off of a lady's thigh, it was tight. 
We had mad fun.  Now it’s back to the lab. 
One thing that i gotta make clear’s that "the lab” ain't a place 
where i do my chemistry, get my blood drawn, or train rats--
it’s where we lay verses down.
I be in a sophomore’s dorm...
“Do you wanna come inside? it’s a lot more warm..” 
“thank you” 
Thought we’d maybe drink hot chocolate,
but now were in the hall makin soft core p0rn!
COLLEGE RULES!!
yes it does
I’ve seen some impressive stuff...
met this chick from Texas made me 
fumble on my sentences...
But I’m frontin cuz I’m usually
in my room with some cheap liquor.
Bass boomin at 3 in the morning,
I’m recording, waking up my mom 
and my dad and my little sister
I’m in the basement and I’m naked as I'm eating dinner. 
Watching Pleasantville..... on the television......
Having fantasies..... in my head i’ve been 
spooning with Reese Witherspoon 
eatin’ Reeses With Her Spoon.
k—  I’m back now with a fat sound and track outfitted for a packed house,
but if i wore a track outfit it wouldn’t attract crowds or make 'em clap loud cuz like i said it’s a fat sound.
Man, ya’ll ain’t ready for the level of my decibels 
I'm murderin' every mother----, i need a professional    
 or a "Dr.", but switch the “r" and the “d" cuz the competitions not getting closeR its getting closeD

PRE
this life ain’t half bad
yeah i got this jack and i got this clip
and i got these raps and i got some b*****s i could hit up
im in la la land
yeah I’m all off track
but i like it like that
i like it like that
yeah it ain’t half bad, bad

CHORUS
im doin nothin tonight 
gonna waste my time and give up on the fight 
and darling  i’ll stay doin nothin getting high and getting drunk and 
it don’t matter cuz I’m feeling alright 
im doin nothin

VERSE 2
Truth be told, I’m thinkin about a giant mansion
with all kinds of fancy designer brands 
and a tall guy that stands by the entrance. 
Invite only-- player hater censorship.
Cuz if all eyes are glancing in my direction
of course my reaction is pride and arrogance…  
like a f*&kin dozen lions braggin'. 
the Baddest to Break since Bryan Cranston
with a lisp so this could get meth-y.
I don’t give a f*&k, man i took tests, test me.
Same at the core as i was 12th grade but I’m more 
5ex-crazed, immature, and i look less preppy now.
uh— but i bet I’m only getting better that’s a fact and you can bet on that— rappers better get on back.
Cuz even later when you’re drinking at the bar you’ll be 
thinking really hard, so you better rock a metal hat!
i said i was incred-i, are you getting where my head is at ?
i never wanna settle I’m a veteran of trekking back and forth  
between chords and beats cuz im electronic subversive pop and 
symphonic acoustic metal rap.
These fake rappers talkin' a lot about their hood roots…. 
We’re all well-aware that you’re from delaware….
So put that suburban education to good use….
cuz you’re a backpack rapper but you were never strapped  
Gassin' me up while she’s goin down--
“Your d*%k’s huge!” 
Don’t blow it out of proportion.
F*%kin' these trashy a*s slu*s is slowin' me down,
it’s just a habit i don’t know how to divorce it but— 
I’m finding as time advances that
my mind expands like a giant bath sponge...
It’s like I’m on an island stranded, 
you’ll never see me again like the guys from Hanson 
(out)

Lettuce - Phyllis

TesseracT – King (from new album Sonder)
Pre-order / pre-save now for release on 20th April https://tesseract.lnk.to/Sonder

Director/Producer/Editor: Kyle Kadow & Steven Cleavland
Gaffer: Spencer Ortega
PA: Casey Deitrich

Sonder adds significant firepower to the band's arsenal, blending the harsh abrasiveness of One (2011) and progressive ethereal elements of Altered State (2013) with the accessibility of Polaris (2015). Sonder is streamlined, honest and direct with all the trademark TesseracT dreamy atmospherics and bending grooves.

Singer and lyricist Daniel Tompkins explains the concept behind the new song: “King explores the notion that history is repeating itself. Dominated by patriarchal societies, we find ourselves being lead into disempowerment, corruption and war. The song also focusses on the inner turmoils of living with the constraints of an onerous life."

The video was shot in a snowy Wisconsin following a brutal storm, to which bassist Amos adds "We have been very lucky to work with two cinematographers of such vision and quality as Kyle and Steven. We gave them free reign with the creation of the first storyboard. They chose to explore the theme of claustrophobia and how fear can control our lives. Using a luminary figure as a beacon of hope and escape for the characters."

New album 'SONDER' is OUT NOW. Order here: http://tesseract.lnk.to/sonder
 
You died within me //
The boatmen came to sail me down the river /
Bind me up with visions of a blind man // 
I operate this way /
Turn nothing into gold //
Death on such an ugly day /
You dine like a king on top of the world •
 
You show us all //
That forgiveness is the weakest call /
And now revenge //
Against that grudge inside your tiny head /
Remove the crown of absolution //
Let the retribution fly /  
The king has all the king has all //
But words can kill and maim and take their toll /
And you massacre my dreams at night //
And eat away at every thought /
Until we take control //
The king has all totalitarian and carnivore •
 
Bow down submit to me and kiss the ground //
Until it’s safe to breathe and coexist again /
Bow down submit to me and kiss the ground //
Until it’s safe to live and coexist again •
 
They’re taking away the freedom to be just you //
They’re taking away the freedom to be just you /
They’re taking away the freedom to be just you //
They’re taking away the freedom to be just you /
But the sun always shines for you //
They’re taking away the freedom to be just you •
 
You’d kill to find me //
But the crown above my head is deadly •
 
They’re taking away the freedom to be just you //
They’re taking away the freedom to be just you /
