lyrics
We split atoms.
Induce spasm when we abandon canon
to sing for angels with clipped wings; songs for decapitating cannibals and kings.
Aligned against that lock-step, slumber, complacent. Since those Hub City days making magic in the basement. We knew convention was sedation.
Fast forward to chest constriction, & slightly modified convictions.
I watched my father draw his last breath, mine is a similar affliction.
These days they get it gift-wrapped. But when the battery’s dead we can still read the map.
I’m facing time.
Is it mine?
Are you still disinclined
to fall in line?
And no matter where my people make their beds, we’re still broadcasting live from the City of the Dead.
You’ve got us surrounded, so what else is new?
Stick around and find out who’s really turning the screw.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
