about

Week 2: Sneak in Line for the Show

This week's song is called Sneak in Line for the Show, featuring Tim Bulkley on the drums. We recorded this way back in 2008. It's another song that was written using the beloved Casio SK-1, our favorite little sampling keyboard from the 1980s. We keep breaking and re-buying them. I think Sadie had three in her possession just recently. Anyway, here you go.

lyrics

grass is high
hills are wide
we will drive down to LA
yay yay

i watch you aim i watch your arms
i watch them drop, it's half the charm
if you want me it's alright
if you want to stay the night

it won't keep you where you wanna be
no perfections
that can keep you where you wanna be
no good intentions
that can keep you where you wanna be
come sneak in line for the show

i watch the dance floor spin you round
touch and go you with the sound
if you want me it's alright
if you wanna stay the night

it won't keep me where i wanna be
your affections
won't keep me where i wanna be
no good intentions
are gonna keep me where i wanna be
come sneak in line for the show

about

The Invisible Cities San Francisco, California

We play loud and soft, guitar-y and loopy, dreamy and dancy, and tend to shift gears from song to song. Among other things, we are fans of The Breeders, Yo La Tengo, and the sprawl of the white album. And The Expanse.

The wonderful shape of things! This attacks my senses in all the good ways: Catchy melody - Check! Surprising still - Check! No simple straightforward 4 beat - Check! A music that growls and weeps - Check! Ahhh.... this is so guuuuuud! Kristinn Kristinsson
