Fat massed angel choirs, God's Opposition
Sang in competition that day
My ears burnt and hurt
Jay birds walked
Saw them with my own eyes
On the pavement, cracks were marked to be avoided
Didn't trip one time
It was just too big to hold
Some honeypot this
It's going to break
It's going to pour out
You're going to lose it
Lose it
No money in hand, no business but mine
Everything multiplies
Oh my chemicals, in fission
Heading for a spill now
The sharp moment of illumination
Is the very thing
It was just too big to hold
Some honeypot this
It's going to break
It's going to pour out
You're going to lose it
Lose it
Catch your breath, hold it carefully
This comes one time
There's the murmur of girls
On the bus home

Timebomb

It all went up I knew it would
The beach was black my house on fire
I would not miss it anyway
You'd wired it up like a timebomb
Wired it up like a timebomb
So I got up and packaged flat
Left all the precious things to urn
They did not mean a thing to me
You'd wired it up like a timebomb
Wired it up like a timebomb
In twenty years of afternoons
An overdose of everyday
She left in haste for something else
All wired up like a timebomb
All wired up like a timebomb
Would have cut it anyway
But now's as good as any time
The finest thread that ever held
All wired up like a timebomb
All wired up like a timebomb
Our lives are wired
Like our gardenias
Our lives are wired
Our lives are wired
Like our gardenias
When all the rest of it was gone
And I was left and scared to death
But would not wish another way
All wired up like a timebomb
All wired up like a timebomb

What a GREAT album! It has been a while since I found an album that I could listen to from beginning to end without skipping. Classic Ian MacKaye vocals. Amy Farina absolutely kills it on drums. I hadn't heard of Joe Lally on Bass, but really enjoyed his singing/bass. I highly advise checking this out. You'll get hooked. I love "Clean Kill" but "BQM" does it for me (love the beat). Congrats Coriky! Nicely done! Can't wait to see you live!!!

Hunger for a Way Out

Can't listen w/o hearing Young Marble Giants, but a more nervous, taut take. All the tracks are great, but can't stop humming the title to myself.

Ants From Up There

Good morning! Definitely one of the best albums of 2022, and "The Place Where He Inserted the Blade" is an amazing song.

Cardiff band Red Telephone can't disguise the pure pop sensibility in their blistering alt-rock songs.

Perfectly pitch-black goth rock from this Santa Barbara band, with razorwire guitars and melancholy vocals.

Peace Loving People
by pardoner
The most slept-on band in indie music makes a welcome return with another A+ record mixing hardcore and slacker rock with jokes.
