lyrics
I could tell you how to feel a thousand times
You wouldn't listen once
For all the ways that I've tried
I've found myself running to false comfort that lies behind
Every day for the past ten years I've been asking you where to go
But your bleeding lips are sealed, no help at all
But I can do this on my own, new ground with the growth cut down
Second voice in a different language
My ears are ringing from the silent sound
Hold it like a child
Singing sweet into mother's arms
Hold it like a child
Mama bird don't chirp no more
There's always someone screaming
Killing their dreaming
Begging warmth from mercy's arms
The signs don't say stop at all
With the scream's work increasing
Howl's voice forever screeching
Take a look at this monster's bed
Lying in vain for a silent head
And here lies a dream
A fantasy that some call life
Walking forward, a new night dawns
Monster's voice soon to fall silent
There's a man going around taking names
It's getting easier to see his face
He lives next door
He lives next door
He lives in your own fucking bedroom
Train your eyes to close
Train your eyes to close
Train your eyes...
This album fucks as hard as dripping and magic but imo feels the most personal and emotional release of the three. It’s weird and frantic but hits
this really interesting balance.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
The Minneapolis band add a horn section, a running surrealist allegory about walls, and an occasional nod to the elegiac to their electroshocked post-punk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 4, 2024
