the hand that held me down

Off of the self titled album, "Two Gallants".

seems like home to me

Invitation to the Funeral

the banners wave upon the promenade
colors fly and funeral marches play

there is is there a foul taste in the air
your legend walks before you everywhere

but all you want from me is someone to abuse
whether rags are on your back or gleam is on your jewels
so roll up your sleeves one of us must be wrong
and hold me close until the feeling’s gone

your daddy was a buccaneer
to speak his name is to watch him disappear
every time you touch me in my filth
the colors fade and the flowers wilt

because all you want from me is someone to abuse
with a callous on your back and gold is on your tooth
so roll up your sleeves one of us must be wrong
and hold me close until the feeling’s gone

and I could never understand
all the boys who wear your brand
all the hearts at your command

so lay me down and get your fill
hope my memory haunts you still
it never could it always will
just as you had planned

On February 3rd, the San Francisco based guitar-drum duo Two Gallants are set to release their 5th studio album, We Are Undone, on ATO Records. While singer and guitarist Adam Stephens and drummer Tyson Vogel have stayed true to the two-person format since their acclaimed 2004 debut, The Throes, their sound has evolved considerably over the intervening years. Following 2012’s The Bloom and the Blight, We Are Undone is the band’s second release on ATO. Thematically, the album ranges from songs that attempt to make sense of the dramatically shifting social landscape of their home town, to the illusion of authenticity, impending environmental collapse, and romantic estrangement. Sonically, the thrash blues of songs such as “We Are Undone” and “Some Trouble” is balanced by the austerity of ballads such as “My Man Go” and “There Is So Much I Don’t Know.”
