about
The most upbeat, poppiest song on the record. It's about not being able to trust the various authorities that are supposedly in place to look after us. When recording I had in mind music like Polvo, GBV, and local stuff like Thighmaster. The lead guitar part was a lot of fun to record, I wanted it to be really messy. The 'middle 8' section was pretty tricky for my limited guitar skills though: I wanted a part that was an arpeggio that reversed direction every second repetition.
lyrics
It don't matter what you want, you know the plan.
This whole chapter plays out in the palm of your hand
And it always ends the same. It always ends the same,
It always ends the way as specified by your name.
Always, always.
Do we really have to video everything you say?
It don't matter what you say, you've made your mind.
You thought it all out as you came up from behind.
And it always ends the same, it always ends the same.
It's always justified by the signing of your name.
Always, always.
Do we really have to justify everything we say?
This whole chapter plays out in the palm of your hand
And it always ends the same. It always ends the same,
It always ends the way as specified by your name.
Always, always.
Do we really have to video everything you say?
It don't matter what you say, you've made your mind.
You thought it all out as you came up from behind.
And it always ends the same, it always ends the same.
It's always justified by the signing of your name.
Always, always.
Do we really have to justify everything we say?

My favourite track on this compilation is actually Hot Magnets' remix of 'Wolves Bite and Disappear'. If you're reading this and you haven't heard it, you need to rethink your choices in life.

An EP of mostly pacy, fuzzy alt-pop/rock. The distorted noise is ably supported by dreamy vocal harmonies, which perfectly fit the mood and tempo. Short and sweet – I'm super impressed!

Beautiful and mysterious folk-adjacent songs from this UK outfit that wreathe delicate acoustic guitar in mist-like synths.
go to album -
Thin Lear's sophisticated rock music is tempered with soaring chamber pop accents and an undeniable gift for melody.
