THE MORNING COMES
TV STILL ON
WANNA WATCH THE CARTOON STARFISH PREACH
FLOATING AROUND
TRY TO TOUCH BACK DOWN
BUT I'M MOVING FURTHER OUT OF REACH
AND NOW TONIGHT YOU COME TO HEAR
THESE SPLINTERED STORIES OF ALL THE YEARS OF BAD CHOICES
IT'S BECOMING CLEAR
YOU CAN'T ESCAPE THE CROWD OF FACES
THE RINGING IN YOUR EARS
TIME WAS HOLDING OUT
LAYING ON A BUSTED COUCH
SEARCHING FOR A PHRASE TO SEND THE LIGHTS BACK DOWN
WHEN THEY TURN AWAY, WHEN THEY DISENGAGE
ALL ALONE WHEN YOU GET BACK HOME
DRAW THE CURTAINS UP AGAINST THE HEAT
ON YOUR DISCONNECTED PHONE
THERE'S NO DIAL TONE
NO ONE'S CALLING, NO ONE'S COMING NEAR
SHE WAS CRYSTALIZED
SO INDISCREET
WE WERE UP ALL NIGHT
KEYED UP WITHOUT FEAR
ALL BIG IDEAS WITH NOWHERE TO GO
SO MANY PLANS
NO CENTER HOLD
LOOKING BACK ON ALL THAT NOW
WONDER HOW WE GOT OUT
WE WERE JUST THE LUCKY ONES
SCRAPE AND SCRATCH AND HEAL BACK UP
OFF THE FLOOR
COMING BACK FOR MORE
COULD YOU TAKE IT NOW WITH YOUR SHAKING HANDS
COULD YOU TELL ME NOW THAT I CAN UNDERSTAND
IT WAS ALL A GAME I NEVER LEARNED TO PLAY
That album felt like coming home after a long time away but still being proud of everything I'd seen while I was gone. One minute and twenty seven seconds into "Kenver" feels like the culmination of everything I've loved about this band since I was a kid. It feels like the best parts of freedom I've felt on the best nights of my life. Scott
The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
Sludge, Shoegaze, Atmospheric, Heavy Metal, Alt-metal, you name it. This album has it all, and it is perfect. It came out during a rough time period of my life and others lives too. It's been the soundtrack for all of my pain. Thank you Hum tawper
Their name is misleading: Nebraska group Uh Oh deliver delightfully raucous, guitar-driven rock & roll with rootsy hooks for days. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 4, 2021
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
