about

Upon releasing our first full length album, 25 cassette copies were sold on this page. Roughly half of these orders vanished into the depths of a USPS distribution center in Pittsburgh. Those that were effected by this heinous act of reverse mail fraud will receive a complimentary cassette containing "LP" in its entirety on one side, plus an exclusive collection of demos & various audio detritus on the other. In the meantime, the rest of you can enjoy this cover. Thanks.

lyrics

You paid eight bucks for a tape we made
Clicked the "I’m not a robot" thing
But it never got there
It never got there
It never got there you say

Wait five to six business days
But then April turned into May
& it never got there
It never got there
It never got there you say

USPS threw your tape away
They threw it away
In Pittsburgh PA

USPS threw your tape away
They threw it away
In Pittsburgh PA

Who knows where your tape could be
They threw it away
They threw it away

Who knows where your tape could be
They threw it away
They threw it away

Ring-a ring-a ring-a the president
& tell him that he’s a shithead
Ring-a ring-a ring-a the FBI
See if they burned it in a fire

You paid eight bucks for a tape we made
Clicked the "I’m not a robot" thing
But it never got there
It never got there
It never got there you say

Wait five to six business days
But then April turned into May
& it never got there
It never got there
It never got there you say

USPS threw your tape away
They threw it away
In Pittsburgh PA

USPS threw your tape away
They threw it away
In Pittsburgh PA

USPS threw your tape away
They threw it away
In Pittsburgh PA

USPS threw your tape away
They threw it away
In Pittsburgh PA

Layering guitars and saxes over synths and drum machines, this Oakland duo's darkwave is as melodically potent as it is texturally rich. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 1, 2024
