So this is the second single off of "Locals" and the first off of my 2 1/2 album "Come With Me, Go Places", which is a soundtrack to E.K. Weaver's comic "The Less Then Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal".
The song is about leaving a fancy party with who you came with, trading in a night of sophistication for wild sex and Leonard Cohen records. The term "rusted shrine" means letting something important in the back of your mind get put aside for more enjoyable things.

Phil makes sometimes quiet, sometimes ear shattering, always pretty and dense records and this one is no different. As big as all outdoors and as small as a small wooden shack, as to be expected. al Riggs
Dance to this all night and then the morning and then the afternoon until your legs turn to noodles or the landlord starts a-knocking on your floor/their ceiling with a broom. Whichever happens first. al Riggs
Landlady live is a force of nature, on record they are just as gorgeous and anxious as they are in the Flesh World. More Nervous Energy for those who like tremendous drumming and proper earworms. al Riggs
The wonderfully understated folk songs on the new EP from Emma Geiger recall the best of The Softies and early Mary Lou Lord. Bandcamp New & Notable May 9, 2022
