I can't rely on my memory
Memories of ponds filled up again
And the roads underneath them
Haunt my thoughts like mountain men
Skyhook hooked me and carried me away
Trapped Satan in amber and buried him
I wake up on our wedding day
A thousand lips chanting "you shouldn't have married him"
But God is on my side
I'm a short drive
Off a long cliff, you knew that
My feet are torn to shreds
A ticking pipe bomb under my heat
Skyhook hooked me and brought me to Heaven
In your hair I fall asleep and sleep for days
I wake up to a yelling screen
A thousand articles saying I'll be back to my old ways
But God is on my side
God is on my side.

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
