Drone 03:45
I'm speeding Fifty miles Faster than I think I can And it sees me Violating Watching Waiting Alligating What do? Droning You see? In infrared There goes my head now What do You see with your What do you see with your drone? Pulled over I roll down my Frosted window And it beeps at me Print citation Can I even get no Explanation? What do? Droning You see? In infrared There goes your head now What do You see With your What do you see with your drone?

So 03:58 video
I got this little infection Didn't put me to bed I'm bout to bust and I need ya To get me up when I'm dead yeah She crawl on over to soothe it Grabs on to my pheromones Slap it to ride on the pony Just like she said on the phone Believe it! Does it make it so? Believe it! Doesn't make it so And it became an invasion Of an irrational kind I got all hyper-collegiate Out in a field of mines I grab on to my brainstem Shake it a couple of times Stuff it back into my headspace And proceed with the grind Believe it! Does it make it so? Believe it Does it make it so? Got a couple of demons Just got released But that's the thing about seasons It's either famine or feast I give her plenty of warning And when she curling her toes Quite all right if you dream it's Just the way that it goes. Believe it! Does it make it so? Believe it Does it make it so?

SHARK!

Because of powers that be Surely it's not gonna be so easy To wrest a little bitty piece of power From the hands of the great endowers A petty thing we can afford They keep the money moving back and forth but I don't need it I don't need it I don't need it Anymore Because we like to rest assured It turns us into little canary birds Who buy a bigger better faster machine To make a dull life more interesting All the fanciest things that you see Ohhh the diamonds will be dazzling. I don't need it I don't need it I don't need it Anymore And when the company come to the door You know what they they came here for Come inside and have a drink with me I'll help myself to your gold fillings I don't need it I don't need it I don't need it Anymore When your company come to the door You know what they they came here for Come and have a drink with me Help myself to your gold fillings Deep underground lies the heart of it all

about

We started recording this album in November of 2016 at our rehearsal space in Oakland. On our the last batch of songs (under the name Bear Lincoln), we brought in a quite a few guest musicians and did all the recordings ourselves. Ben, our keyboard player, engineered and the rest of us were basically all the help he had. This time, we did the opposite. We played all the music ourselves, and brought in other people for the recording process. Our friend Brad Lincoln really pulled through on the engineering end, and AJ McKinley (of Battlehooch) sat down with us before we recorded in order to help us deconstruct and rebuild the songs into better, sharper incarnations of themselves.

Thanks for listening
