It's been a minute…
We took a bit of time after our Kimmel trip to figure out how we wanted to approach our new music. Honestly, we went for the typical back-to-basics band narrative and wrote Working Nights in one shot, threw out the keyboards and played it live in the studio as loud and fast as possible. We did it in a few takes and kept all the (reasonable) mistakes.
Evan Murphy was our producer and engineer, taking us out of our typical comfort zone, but at the same time, making us feel comfortable enough to let go and be spontaneous. It was probably the most fun we've had in the studio and we left feeling like we captured a complete moment, rather than taking the pieces of a song to be assembled later.
Our new songs are turning out to be a blend of different styles and approaches. We're really excited to share them.
Thanks for being with us and hope you like Working Nights
Working Nights
Hey, how can this be?
That everything you've got
Gets better looking
and that?
You got it for free?
I'll be savin' up
Gotta chase the money
We been out here, man
With the delicate flowers
We were out there, man
movin' ten miles per hour
So tell me how
do you spell their name
Could you help me out
Or introduce me
Oh no please
Let me explain
I only ask because it
Looks so easy
We been out here, man
Workin harder than ever
Ever need another hand, man?
It would be my pleasure
Its easy to over complicate
How to put the pieces together
So you just keep them guessing
On how ya gonna peacock ya feathers
Could be the good side of a bad thing
Or how long you've been doing it wrong.
Doesn't matter how long it takes
As long as you can call it your own.
So when you're walking with your head down
And nothin sounds right
When every flavor tastes the same
And you're not sure what the good stuff tastes like
Don't you give them a god damn inch
Or tell 'em how you survived
let the rhythm dictate
And it will provide
let the rhythm dictate
And it will provide
let the rhythm dictate
And it will provide...
“So when they ask if you’re workin everyday...
You better tell them “Yes, and I’m working every single night””
Love,
