My friend in the news
He takes on a take
A minute in and he’s following it
News of the world
The state of the news
Basic malaise he’s gonna give his take
Monitor white and notified
Remote and at home declaring into his phone
Don’t ever change
Amazingly bored
A breeze in a daze
But once upon at the “U” you were relevant too
The ditto device
Inventories effects
Extension of skin and medium is
The faster I talk my thoughts in a trail it sounds perfect to me
I blink in a blank I jerk and I shake it sounds perfect to me
Speaking in the tongue of ones and zeroes
Daydreamers of dystopia live stranger than the fiction read
Brought to them by cookie trails and algorithms in their heads
Bridle me bride I need to be bound
In this electrical age why don’t we settle down
Jesus be beat into me
Belief between and keeping clean
I’m pretty aware a paper you wrote has started a band
I’m always getting asked
Say in the tongue of zeroes and ones have you ever thought
Man I’ll never change
And why might you
You’re in with the college crowd now you’re in the Cities ages
Hits on Radio-K and spins on The Current
Your efforts are well attended
The faster I talk my thoughts in a trail sounds perfect to me
I blink in a blank I jerk and I shake It sounds perfect to me
Basic Malaise
Daisy chained
It’s only a year
How bad could it be
This New Zealand group have a sweet glaze and an underlying toothiness that would have fit right in on mid-’90s alt-rock radio. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 1, 2019
