Catchy, clever, crunch-squelchy organ-fuelled new indie single of discombobulation by the Portland-based duo of Sam Coomes and Janet Weiss (ex-Sleater-Kinney), heralding their first album for a decade, Breaking the Balls of History, due out in February 2023 on Sub Pop.

Folly and fever,
Conspire to bring you here:
This country of such flux and fog.
A headache, so small,
Containing all there is,
Confirms you’ve been barking
Up the wrong tree again.
Ascending Olympus
To mingle with the Gods,
Your mind reassured
By such boredom.
Their dirty bathrooms
And casual disarray
Recall to your mind
The comforts of home.
But I, I float above it all –
Wizard of idleness,
Mistress of killing time:
The immortal Queen of Ears.
Meanwhile, you discover
Your legs betray your head
And lead you to the deserts of reason.
Where cardboard cowboys
And vampires of every stripe
Converge on empty schoolyards,
Rehearsing your demise.
But I, I float above it all –
Wizard of Idleness,
Mistress of killing time:
The immortal Queen of Ears.
