Umami 04:44
What's that tickling my tongue? The savory taste I love so much in the hearty meal that fills me up Cause it has Umami, Umami. No, thanks, the chop was great but it had such a fatty taste and I do not think that I can take anymore, Oleo, Oleo-gustus

Last night by my window a dark cloud came rolling in. I stood on my porch steps as the smoke billowed in. Suddenly I was surrounded, like jackals on their prey. There's no standing down now, take a shot and bring the pain. After all the smoke cleared, I walked away and found my friend. She was down by the river, where the Susque starts to bend. She was sipping her shine, freeing her mind, bracing herself for the rain. There's no standing down now, listen to what we say. Ohh na na na, Ohh na na hey, We want the rain, bring on the rain. And so here dawns a new day, what's left to linger is no more. Our valley so peaceful, from the clutter of the storm. So don't stand down from your typical fears, you may remember for the best, there's no standing down now, no standing down now...

Getting through, day by day. Never seems to find a way. Passing by, see them there. Always seem to be without care. To make them happy, to make them sad. To make them angry, to make them glad. To make them glad...

Phil, get him

Been stuck in the same like a merry go round make you go insane. This wheel's spinning around just a little too long, yea, yea. Time to get off the beaten path it'll only make you go crazy. When your life's on repeat, pick up your feet, look forward and don't look back. Walking on eggshells, like a bull in a china shop. Catching a vibe that's hard to describe and you're waiting for the rain to stop. One day you're high in the sky and you tumble back to the flats. When you're life's on repeat, pick up your feet, move forward, and don't look back. Standing still while time ticks away. Don't start grooving now, be caught in your grave. You'll feel six feet down, but be above the ground. The cards are on the table, make a move. Been stuck in the same, like a merry go round, make you go insane. This wheel's spinning around just a little too long, yea, yea. Time to get off the beaten path, it'll only make you go crazy. When your life's on repeat, pick up your feet, move forward, and don't look back.

We could get high enough, baby to waste away the day, so let's make love in the morning, and stay locked into this gaze. I just got way too high now, honey, to play video games, so I'll sit on the couch, and watch cartoons all day. (Radio Advertisement) RoastJohn's are so good

about

We recorded these songs on one cold, clear day in February of 2020 at MSA Studios in Georgetown, DE. The first half of the day we recorded, and the second half we cleaned things up. A month after recording, a global pandemic struck and put a major hold on the mastering process. Once we were able to safely obtain the tracks, we sent them to our friend Conner for mastering. He completed the process at his home studio in Nashville, sent them back to us, and here we are presenting them to you almost a year later. These songs contain some of the first original ideas we created as a collective, as well as pre-existing material which we were worked out to their final forms in this group. Our good friend Will, who plays rhythm guitar on these tracks, is no longer in the group as he has decided to put his focus on academics, but he has done his part in helping us to forge our sound on our debut release. Thanks to everyone who helped us get to this point and anyone who listens.
