lyrics
River has a hole in his heart
Bowie died
And the country is tearing itself apart
And you want to stop feeling
Bask in indifference
And just stop caring
To lock your doors
Wire your windows
To sit surrounded by your futile arsenal
To bathe in the anger; taste revenge
Sight the rifle on a random victim
To blame the other
Close the borders
To give the orders
To just give in
But I have awoken now and can never fall back to sleep
I want to light secret fires in the hill above my town
Drink to oblivion and watch the houses burn down
Indulge dark temptations
Live like mine is the last generation
Deny that I love
But I have awoken now and can never fall back to sleep
Words, music and instruments by Paul Roessler except
Bob Lee; Drums
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
For me this is a wonderful break up album. It’s not all sullen because these things in life are always emotionally mixed and the album reflects the mood swings all done without clobbering you over the head or overly forcing the subjects to fit specific places in the listeners consciousness Tommy Dog
Noise pop at its finest from this rambunctious Melbourne group that thrives on louder-than-loud guitars and belted-out vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 4, 2024
It’s hard to choose just one favorite song from this album. I said “Risk It” but Alice Bag’s third solo album is great end-to-end; every song is a fav. My only complaint is that it all goes by too quickly. You’ll tap your feet, and nod your head all through it and too soon you are at the end. I usually just start it over then though :) Jayson Lorenzen
