Golden hawks!
I Can’t help but feel a little nervous
As much as I hate being alone
I never really am, I am
We’ve been trudging around
In the digital wild, yeah
A terrible game of
Exposing our selves
Boiled down into binary
I’ve got enough power to surge
A hand on your shoulder
You’ve got an electronic gun
Pointed at my face

Fans of Polvo, take note! The excellent Kansas City band Abandoncy has the same fondness for corkscrewing riffs & melodies. It’s great! Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 28, 2022
This one also took me a while to get into. It strikes me as less HC than Untitled and less poppy than Ultrapop (stupid I know). Let's call this the No Wave record. Its musical (and amusical) density is matching the persistent sound in my head right now. barnaby nygren
