buy me a coke, i'll bum you a smoke. there goes that train passing again. run for your life, last chance tonight. you piss in the wind kid, you get soaked every time. with our backs to the wall at the older of the two old malls, skipping pennies, smoking dimes and acting cool. half the stores are gone, and i don't get what's left half as long. we both saw the maintenance man, with dynamite in his hands. run for it baby the whole thing's coming down. hold on tight and i won't let you burn. jump to me baby, the whole world's freaking out. are you thinking, what comes next? when life explodes like a battery of open chords, we are not safe in any town. so don't trust the face, that watches us along the gate. stay close to me, eyes on the ground. i've been running in my dreams. i still don't know what that means. and they catch me and they cut off all my hair. and the doors are watched by dead dogs. two of which are sleeping. two more showing teeth. i've been running in my dreams and i still don't know what that one means. and there's spelling errors all over my grave. well i guess i could go haunting for the man who carved my name. well i guess i'm kind of lucky. no dead dogs gonna catch me down here, the underground's gonna keep me just the same.
Karin Park made this album of spare, intensely beautiful dark pop in a converted church building from her childhood. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 18, 2022
The gothy songs on the latest EP from Raven Ives are full of haunting shadows, with ghostly vocals drifting through an ocean of synth. Bandcamp New & Notable May 23, 2022
