Powerful, catchy, and cleverly constructed indie pop with a rocking riff from Garbutt’s forthcoming EP The Creation of Birds, joined here by the brilliant Du Blonde aka Beth Jeans Houghton, out on the latter’s Daemon T.V. label. To explore and enjoy more by both these artists, see also the other embedded links below.
Oil spill on a rising tide
the smell of gunpowder
hyenas tear at my mind
I hear their jagged laughter
But I’m just standing, standing at the lights
staring at the traffic while my chest grows tight
Guess I’m just passing time
fists around the wheel
waiting for an exit sign
maybe this time I’ll heal
but I won’t bet on another night like this
holding court with my therapist
Cause panic’s drip dripping into my soul
(panic dripping in my soul)
and I can’t help but ignite the oil
(ignite the oil)
And blow it up, blow it up
(she blew it up, she blew it up again)
And they say ‘just lose yourself in rock n’ roll’
(lose yourself in rock n’ roll)
but how can I dance when I heart’s charcoal
(my heart’s charcoal)
I blew it up, I blew it up again
(she blew it up, she blew it up again)
Chameleon stuck on the red
I spent all day in bed
a rescue helicopter
crash-landed in my head
and engine oil runs down the gutter in the rain
I liquify and leave an oily stain
