they're filling all the houses in with sand
they're trying to erase all memory of the man
he didn't necessarily do anything wrong
but he spoke his mind, yeah he spoke his mind
he didn't necessarily say he wasn't on their side
but he spoke in rhymes that confused their minds
he tried to stick it out and make amends
but when shit got tough caught the first train to east berlin
he got a place with a couple cabaret stars
above the besirk mitte bordello called "the fallen czar"
they'd drink all night, they'd sleep all day
they'd make love in the back of a corner cafe
he didn't necessarily do anything wrong
but he lost his mind, yeah he lost his mind
so he sips his tea with a rag company
all the sons of fallen stars so properly obscene
this is one of the best bands to come out of austin (or anywhere else in the states) in the past decade. they run the gamut from alt country to folk to fists-up indie rock. great songs, great sound. sad accordions
On their latest LP, the Austin group peel away the synth and distortion to highlight the jangly melodies at the core of their songs. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 9, 2022
Gentle ambient music inspired by two decades of living in Los Angeles conceals a sense of joy within its mournful tones. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 9, 2020
