    Yes, this is Alex dancing in the video.

    “The album is very much about dealing with the anxiety of a sense of impending doom … When is the hammer going to fall? How do we go forward in the face of such anxiety and experience the complexity of life?”

    “The album is very much about dealing with the anxiety of a sense of impending doom … When is the hammer going to fall? How do we go forward in the face of such anxiety and experience the complexity of life?”

    Mashed Potatoes is one of those beautiful songs ilk of Jack Johnson or Devandra Banhart that is so understated it is stupifying as the reaction shot of the majority of indie music makers during Covid.

    “This song is about eradicating toxicity from your life and concentrating on whatever it is that brings you joy,” he admits. “Cups of coffee, mashed potatoes, juice…. sometimes things really are that simple.” Ear Milk

    Where they perform miracles

    “Born in Philadelphia but now living in the south

    Your hand slipped slowly into mine somehow

    And who’s going to argue with a perfect start?

    But will you still be there when I’m down and out?

    I know a place where they perform miracles”

    “These songs are politically motivated, which is unusual for me,” Alec Ounsworth says of “Hesitating Nation’”and “Thousand Oaks”. “The only other politically motivated song I’ve written is ‘Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood’....

    “Born in Philadelphia but now living in the south

    Your hand slipped slowly into mine somehow

    And who’s going to argue with a perfect start?

    But will you still be there when I’m down and out?

    I know a place where they perform miracles”

    “These songs are politically motivated, which is unusual for me,” Alec Ounsworth says of “Hesitating Nation’”and “Thousand Oaks”. “The only other politically motivated song I’ve written is ‘Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood’.” That track helped launch the landmark self-titled debut back in 2005. And now, after 15 years, Alec felt compelled to once again tackle politics, and what’s happening in the US indicating how serious he believes the situation to be.

    “‘Hesitating Nation’ is a song meant to convey my sense of disappointment and alienation with the rewarded mentality of getting ahead at all costs, inevitably to the detriment of those who didn’t sign up to be part of the experiment.”  Describing “Thousand Oaks,” Ounsworth says, “In 2018, there was a shooting in Thousand Oaks, CA which killed 13 people. This song has to do with the impotence of the American government in the face of such tragedies.”

    Dominique lyric video by DR.ME and Ela Minus.

    Today I woke up at 7 p.m
    My brain feels like it’s going to break
    I haven’t seen anyone in a couple of days
    I am afraid I forgot how to talk
    To anyone else that’s not myself

    Hen Ogledd "Space Golf" lyric video
    Building your walls to keep them out
    Building your stash to wipe them out
    You staked your claim on planets new
    You built your ship and up you flew
    Looking back on the world below
    Safe from the damage and woe
    But you cannot play golf in space
    Take all your hate and all your fear
    Take all your hate and all your fear
    Take all your hate and all your fear with you
    And blast them into the bluePlatinum club for psychopaths
    Draining the tank with dirty maths
    Plundering all to gild the few
    ...
    Building your walls to keep them out
    Building your stash to wipe them out
    You staked your claim on planets new
    You built your ship and up you flew
    Looking back on the world below
    Safe from the damage and woe
    But you cannot play golf in space
    Take all your hate and all your fear
    Take all your hate and all your fear
    Take all your hate and all your fear with you
    And blast them into the bluePlatinum club for psychopaths
    Draining the tank with dirty maths
    Plundering all to gild the few
    You built your ships and up you flew
    Infinity pool on Ganymede
    You took so much more than you need
    But you cannot play golf in space

    Foolish Game

    I can’t hear your voice
    In a long time when I hear coming around
    To the heat of all we’re burning up
    Can’t hear your voice
    In a long time, there’s nothing to talk about
    So good to facing now
    You were a hobby, yeah
    It’s just a hobby yeah

    From the album A Private Road (Bella Union)
