walnut
lyrics and music by Penelope Houston
Now my heart is a small black hard
shrivelled rotten little walnut
Should I crack it and chop it
and roll it with nougat into a nut log?
Would you eat it?
Forgiveness, that's my deficiency
Kindness, sounds pretty good to me
Frustration, you wrote the recipe
Resentment, the special today
All my life I've been waiting to
break out of the kitchen into the ether
So take my hand pull me up, wake me up
out of this fever, into the dreamer
Forgiveness, that's my deficiency
Kindness, sounds pretty good to me
Frustration, you wrote the recipe
Resentment, the special today
Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby
You sure can dish it up
Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby
You sure can dish it up
Put it on the table, I'm hungry
What's for lunch?
Now my heart is a small black hard
shrivelled rotten little walnut
Should I crack it and chop it
and roll it with nougat into a nut log?
Would you eat it?
Forgiveness, that's my deficiency
Kindness, sounds pretty good to me
Frustration, you wrote the recipe
Resentment, the special today
Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby
You sure can dish it up
Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby
You sure can dish it up
Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby
You sure can dish it up
Put it on the table, I'm hungry
What's for lunch?
Put it on the table
I'm hungry, What's for lunch?
A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
Exceptional punk music! I love sloppy punk, but this manages to be clean without without losing any energy at all (maybe even getting more of it in the process!). Can't recommend it enough and show them to everyone I know zacharypinkham
Off-kilter country songs with big, beating hearts, the music on “Sword Songs” captures hope and heartache in equal measure. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 7, 2017
Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 31, 2024
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
A lovely addition to the best project of 2023, that at some points feel like B-Sides, but is overall just as strong as the work that made it on "the record" Outer Estate
