lyrics

In the heat of the night,
something is on my mind.
A lot isn't right,
In fact, it's a crime.
I'm not telling you,
(because) you know why
we're having a hard time
shining a light.

Looking for a reaction? I know I've got mine.
How is there no connection between guns and lost lives
There is no magic solution to survive
We need immediate action to dismantle sides

This hegemonic oppression, It doesn't matter why.
(We need) to acknowledge dominion,
because colour is not a crime
I don't want to mention how many more times?

Looking for a reaction? I know I've got mine.
How is there no connection between guns and lost lives.
There is no magic solution to survive.
We need immediate action to dismantle sides.

heard of Wild Nothing as I am a big fan of Jorge Elbrecht's works. Took several listens for this album to grow on me but it's great and very cohesive! Jorge Elbrecht's production is essential to the sound!!! pj1517

We Have Amnesia Sometimes
by Yo La Tengo

supported by 5 fans who also own “Aftertouch”

Me and my friend used to go on drives all the time, and a lot of the time i asked what he was playing, and a majority of the songs were from Yo La Tengo. And since i went and listened to And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out i was fan. Never thought i’d buy one of their records for myself. violetstain

Presentable Corpse 002
by Jorge Elbrecht

supported by 5 fans who also own “Aftertouch”

Jorge Elbrecht’s signature genre-blasting, with melodies and harmonies that are, as always, unexpected, lovely and lush. 60’s psych pop bleeding into 80’s jangle and UK indie... the same alchemy found in the best of Lansing-Dreiden and Violens. iandmychimney
