This is my first time hearing a Will Connolly song, and all I hear is Jeremy Heere

***   "Hell" lyric video now live at https://youtu.be/_kPbNI98aIY   ***

Taken from our EP 'Mass Trespass' (available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify etc, and on CD via our website), "Hell" is an autobiographical jaunt through one man's life – a song about identity,  self-determination, and songwriting. 

And going to Hell, of course.

Heart-Shaped Hologram

A song about Freud.

Lyrics:
If I’m so smart and I’m so pretty,
Damn this town and damn this city;
You never give me anything that I want.
 
No one seems to really care.
They're just wholly unaware
Of all the blood and sweat I cry before dawn.
 
But you won’t understand
All the things that I am
Cause' I’m crazy in just too many ways.
 
But I get that little feeling
When my heart starts beating, lungs stop breathing,
All my fibers say to run away.

Count my little scars, I’ve got dozens down inside.
I come complete and invincible, behind my dirty imbecile.
All these things I’ve tried, boy: be cute, be dumb, be wise, be young.
So don’t tell me what to fear in the darkness in this atmosphere.

Love my mum and love my daddy,
Sure they messed me up but that is
Voices that they left inside of my head.
 
Darling, dearest, don’t you see?
I’m tough, I’m smart, I’m bourgeois,
And I’ll play out this lie until we’re all dead.
 
Am I good? Is all I could
Enough for you? 
 
I’m so scared
Of when and where
I’ll find the truth.

Awfully Apeelin'

The Hoosiers - Who Said Anything (About Falling In Love)

The first release from our long-awaited, self-produced album, we're very excited to share our new 'Gory Stories' EP! We've been wanting to do a Halloween EP for a little while now, so we decided to have a little fun with the B-Sides when putting out "Edward Gorey's Gory Stories" as the lead single from the album. The video for "Edward Gorey..." goes live on YouTube on 25th October as well - it's hilariously macabre (if we do say so ourselves), so do check it out (https://youtu.be/kz0AxmNdRPw)! 

"Edward Gorey's Gory Stories" is an untraditional love song that explores identity, acceptance, and the profoundly macabre. Are we just the product of our experiences, and can we step outside that to decide who we want to be on our own terms?

Edward Gorey was a 20th century writer and artist, and his beguilingly dark illustrated books have been Ringlefinch faves for many years. We particularly love his work 'The Gashlycrumb Tinies', a delightfully morbid A-B-C book (or abecedary, word fans) whose protagonists get bumped off in rhyming couplets, and in hilariously unlikely ways. Special shout-out to artist Lolita Blaga for the artwork for the 'Gory Stories' EP, she absolutely nailed the Gorey style!

Track listing:
1) Edward Gorey's Gory Stories
2) Hell (Squirrel Nut Zippers cover - ft. Angie Rance of Patch & The Giant on trumpet)
3) Mysterious Mose (from a 1930 Betty Boop cartoon - ft. Johnny Craike on musical saw)
4) The Monster Mash (with thanks and love to the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band)

All of our songs can be found on iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify and the rest. If you can afford it and want to support us to make more music, please consider buying or streaming from a paid service as well! We've also got some rather lovely t-shirts and tote bags available at https://ringlefinch.teemill.com.

Thanks!
