Old Joy
Falling into a fountain
of old joy
swimmin' in the chemistry
I can feel the pulses of this life
they're clickin' away in me
though I sometimes feel seasick
I still walk
crooked for the world to see
with my arms down next to me
I still carry on
carry on sufficiently
Sufficiently!
running out of academy
my days soon to be
boring beyond words
I want to run the fields and streams
and have flying dreams
but I'm not sleeping well
can you provide a distraction
some white noise
a buzzing in my mind
it's not the best of solutions
but it works for me
works for me every time
and I'm waiting for something
that changes the feel of this room
something always seems to come along but too soon
come along
come along
too soon
I'm blocking every light source to this day
this melting orange spree
'til all that remains is a sliver of grey
on a dusk of winter trees
I'm holding on to a piece of joy that I've had
since I was a boy
I've been waiting to celebrate
but you can't celebrate
celebrate with old joy
and I'm waiting for something
that changes the feel of this room
something always seems to come along but too soon
The groove on Badala is an absolute monster. If this doesn't move you, you might as well check yourself into the ER to make sure you aren't dead because the groove is DEEP and HARD. Polygondwanajams
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

"Flower Of Life" yanks riot grrrl south through the unmistakable garage psych sound indispensable to the last 20-odd years of rock music out of Los Angeles. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 2, 2023
