Still takes the cake
The place that I was slept on
Still see your face and hear the rain
And your reaction
Makes me want to take off
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
Take control
Get real still
The mountainous landscapes dictate that you will be alright
But that’s a fleeting feeling
It happens all the time
I’ve got pictures of you and I
In the memory of my cell phone
And I’ve got memories in my mind
That I just can’t seem to let go
But the feelings, they fade away
Replaced with plays plus bright charades
All just shadows of you
And that’s cool
It’s alright
Keep running those bad boy ciggys in my mind
Everyone’s funny, now you’re funny too
When this fades to black
You’ll feel something new
“How’s it taste, the old Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner?”
If you were next to me now
That’s the question you’d be asking
You don’t know?
It’s just New Amsterdam Peach
And a pack of Camel tobaccy woooooheeeee
Sharp, smart lyrics set to ’60s rock melodies, the latest from Daily Worker is the sound of yesterday with a contemporary edge. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 6, 2023
This batch of quarantine recordings by Texas musician Daily Worker recalls the classic lo-fi days of GBV, with hissy sonics and huge hooks. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 14, 2020
As an emo fan of a certain age (i.e. old), this album feels like such a gift because I can pretend it's the sequel to Brand New's "Deja Entendu" that we'll never get. Had this come out in 2003, like "The Room's Too Cold" or "War All The Time," we'd already be reading 20th anniversary oral histories about the making of this classic album (guess we'll just have to wait until 2040). A stunner, front to back. mattgraupman
