Mischief 02:49
I miss smoking cigarettes I have got a long list of regrets but of all the things that I could miss it's making mischief with my friends In the back of cop cars making jokes while the police would call our folks to tell em all the trouble we were in tomorrow going out and we're doing it again rough and rowdy we're looking for a thrill we still got a bottle of fireball to kill so we're gonna hit the diner at 4 am to cause some mischief with our friends If I think back to where my mind was at it's not the best idea to romanticize all that cuz I was probably in my darkest place but coffee and music were my saving grace There were some nights where I definitely should have died but I guess my ticket is worth more for its ride eh who knows when it's ever gonna end so im gonna go out and call my friends CUZZZZZZZZZZZZ I MISS SMOKING CIGARETTES I HAVE GOT A REAL LONG LIST OF REGRETS SO LETS GO OUT JUST ONE MORE TIME CAUSE SOME MISCHIEF WITH OUR FRIENDS LETS GO OUT JUST ONE MORE NIGHT CAUSE SOME MISCHIEF WITH OUR FRIENDS LETS GO OUT JUST ONE MORE NIGHT CAUSE SOME MISCHIEF WITH OUR FRIENDS

fourteen days I'm hiding in my bed that's fourteen days inside my head the economy is caving in on itself yet some how the rich are gonna hold onto their wealth so I don't need a bunch of celebrities poorly singing John Lennon's song out of key because I could do that one on my own just pool your funds together and throw us a bone eh universal incomes just the tip of the top but what we really need is for rent to stop and it's getting hard to tell the truths from the lies but at least both sides agree that they wanna see us die so right wing left wing chicken wing I guess this how im gonna spend my spring Im thankful for such a beautiful day to sit on the couch and rot away.

Details 03:00
a crispy winter night I'm always feeling so uptight as we drive around to the mess around while the snow falls on this town just a couple wanna be punk heads we're hanging out a diners smoking reds breaking into abandoned buildings cuz that's what all the cool kids did on the westside highway I was freaking out we were whiskey drunk and the path was down so you called a cab you took me back to your house by Tompkins square then you moved down to the south and you can still crash on my couch if you come here to take a job or if you just wanna hang out if I could display all these memories so that they could see what I see then they'd realize that you're in the details at least in some shape or some form you'll always be there for me well your time spent in New York it came and went so short because the days turned into months and then the months became your life so we'll keep one eye shut feelings sick and sad again we're gonna keep one eye shut feeling sick and sad again if I could display all these memories so that they could see what I see then they'd realize that you're in the details at least in some shape or some form you'll always be there for me

about

These songs are about Politics and Food, Childhood antics and dealing with mortality. I wrote these songs during the first chunk of quarantine when everything was scary and uncertain.

This ep is my love letter to traditional country and bluegrass. A number of years ago I began to delve into the music of Woody Guthrie, the epitome of everything I was trying to achieve. His lyricism is the perfect ratio of humor and seriousness. As time went on I began to learn more about other traditional folk artists, and their relationship to America. Artists like Leadbelly, Son House, Bill Monroe, Ernest Tubb, and Johnny Cash were all becoming huge influences on me. This music began to excite me in a way I hadn't felt in a long time. It was so genuine so real that I started obsessing over it. In the same breathe it upset me how hard it is to find good contemporaries of these genres. The bastardization of country and folk music through big bright stadium guitars, and vocals drowned in reverb screaming HEY!!! have become the norm.

I knew for awhile I wanted to put out something like this, initially had I had plans of getting a room full of people together, practice these songs for one day then record them all live the next day keep it raw authentic and all that. Unfortunately ya know COVID COVID COVID happened and that wasn't the case. With that in mind and knowing we would be recording this album remote I thought it would be a good opportunity to include more artists in this process. I'm really thankful for knowing such talented musicians and being able to put this out despite all the turmoil in the world.
