about
I wrote the bones of this song in the spring of 2023, initially in a different key, with loads of fuzz and chunky palm muting. After living in it for a while, I decided to move it to a more dynamic and melodic place, conscious majors and minors, and a strong presence of synthy textures. The song is about the financial, physical, psychological checks and balances of working life while the hellish Mordorian landscape of capitalism rages on in the background.
lyrics
Took a shit-shoveling job
In lieu of a dream state
Lost, knee deep, compliant for reliable pay
Now I stare into the darkness
where green grasses once grew
And on my front step,
another empty mailbox
Staring down the barrel of
Late-stage capital
My mind it tired, my knees are weak!
Slugging away in the salt mine
Staring down the barrel of
Late-stage capital
My throat is dry, my nose is plugged
Slugging away in the salt mine
The warmth of this album is so unique and pleasing to the ear in this cold digital era of music. Skinny's songwriting sounds both classic and modern and evolves throughout from beginning to end. Evan Smibert
Montreal psych-pop veterans sound as infectious and hypnotic as ever on their seventh LP, slinging jangly riffs and bright vocal harmonies. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 14, 2024
