Way Way Back

    We tracked and mixed this record to tape and cut the lacquers from those tapes--this thing has never touched a computer. Bernie is the definitive west coast vinyl mastering engineer. He cut "Aja", "Thriller", "Purple Rain", "The Chronic"...you get it. Vanderslice and I took a lot of care to get this just right and it sounds FANTASTIC.

    Proudly manufactured by Quality Record Pressing and Stoughton with lovely vintage tip-on style jackets. Beautiful artwork with photography from Rachel Demy, lyrics, detailed credits, and a full download with any order via bandcamp.

lyrics

It's been a long night on the backstreets of Rome.
Well, not "Rome" but a Rome-like place.
Through distant music I hear you calling my name.
So I'll lose the faith and keep the pace walking away.

Rachel, I know you think I'm a quitter but I'm trying to be kind.
So sing me something old fashioned,
I'll go home and drink some milk tonight.
While you cool out, unbutton your collar, and add some ice to your drink.
We go way back, we go way way back, and I still need some space to think.

I’ll be goddamned if I’m not a long way from home.
Just a key looking for an ignition.
Gotta lay low 'til I don’t smell like cologne.
Blah, blah, blah--more contrition cloaked in exposition. I'm screaming out--

Rachel, I know you think I'm a quitter but I'm trying to be kind.
So sing me something old fashioned,
I'll go home and drink some milk tonight.
While you cool out, unbutton your collar, and add some ice to your drink.
We go way back, we go way way back, and I still need some space to think.

When I bunched up the slack on the back of your faux oversized mink coat.
Little kiss on the mouth, little thunder in a drought,
and I feel you close to me.
I honestly can’t wait to tell you the weird things I’ve seen.

Rachel, I know you think I'm a quitter but I'm trying to be kind.
So sing me something old fashioned,
I'll go home and drink some milk tonight.
While you cool out, unbutton your collar, and add some ice to your drink.
We go way back, we go way way back.
