lyrics

how many roads do i have to wait upon?
moons and loons and tears i'm swimming on
hearts been closed cuz i left my baby home
off to the woods but my soul is bleeding from

all that i've seen
slay the patriarchy

winters rough but i fight the demons off
when i get warm thats when i get to be soft
hill by hill by mountain peak
i wait for the storm inside me patiently

all that i know
patriarchys gotta go

and now i realize
that this is real life
back in the thick of it
i won't get used to it

and now i realize
i lost my sparkled eyes
it's never my fault
patriarchy locked the vault

This is a fab album. There are strong echoes of UK psych and sunshine pop - the songwriting and vocals remind me of the bands associated with John Pantry - high praise indeed (do grab a copy of 'the Upsidedown World of... if you haven't heard it). The Zombies and the Kinks are in there too, as well as more recent bands like Green Pajamas. The band keep it simple, which is a bonus with a psych-inflected album - they let the wonderful songwriting shine through. Buy this, pop pickers! Nigel Spencer

The gentle lo-fi songs on the latest phoneswithchords LP develop their granular sketches of childhood and coming of age into full portraits. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 25, 2023
