Consumption is problematic
Language is a wall
That I wish to drill right through
As I find it
Full of desire to discuss regarding matters of exactness
Layers of feeling I want to name
But not own x 2
(The places where we walk)
On every street, in every town
I learned to trespass
All things want to be touched
All things want to be owned
Everything I ever bought was a trap
Everything I ever owned was a lie
Our currency is a moment
Our currency is our skin
Our currency is our scabby knees
Talk is trespass, and so we trespass
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
A record so nice, I bought it twice. I haven't stopped listening to "Book Of Curses" digitally since it came out in November. So when Bandcamp Friday came around and I saw a few copies of the limited edition were left, it was time to buy it physically. A perfect, contemporary encapsulation of where the four members came from before, and where they'll take music going forward. Here's to hoping they make it to the States when this whole pandemic thing gets sorted out. Ape Mummy
This Seattle 3-piece blast out their frisky punk LP via Kill Rock Stars. You might want to avoid their couch, though. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 16, 2015
This Baltimore group rough up post-punk with dark post-hardcore riffs and chaotic choruses, never losing a fine-tuned sense of melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 13, 2024
