Deep breaths every time one gets in the back.
And the best dance is to model the decorum they lack.
The trick is finding a home here.
But make the call
and I’ll come right over.
Jump the stairs. Eat the fare.
Take the night off. Take the night off.
Turn your light off.
Keeps your eyes up.
Cycle through it.
Safe bets only take a second to stray.
And the map says that everything’s an hour away.
Low tones. Sidetracks.
Lives played behind back.
This playback describes
what we presume is lost time.
The trick is finding your home here.
But make the call
and I’ll come right over.
Jump the stairs. Eat the fare.
Take the night off. Take the night off.
Turn your light off.
Keeps your eyes up.
Cycle through it.

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
The songs on the latest from Worriers hurtle forward breathlessly, with hook after hook topped by scorching vocal melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 16, 2023
