five four three when you’re going
two is the one you want
snow day hobble round when sun come down
you can bring whoever you want
have you heard anything new?
can it be real
all that I see
looking around
in here
and they go where you go
and you know what they know
tell me all your stories
what do you want to know?
it’s all written down there
in the sand on the beach
what do you want to show?
stop hiding round here
and practice what you preach
I don’t know when we’re going
to meet up with you next
you can come whenever you want
you can come whenever you want it
and they go where you go
and you know what they know
what do you want to see?
it’s all curtains round here
and photoshopping dreams
what do you want to know?
it’s abundantly clear
we’re a bit too cavalier
consequences are severe
shall we remind you again
only one stroke of the pen
shall we remind you again
shall we remind you again
your payment’s late we’re gonna shut it off your fate is in our hands it would be great if you could
send in the envelope provided with some documents that prove you are a person with a
corrected federal return the body we’ll return the mind your biz is not a big concern
she sleeps alone
in the open field
knows the moon is due to take a stand
and if someone calls
she won’t waste their time
they don’t need to understand
smoky thoughts rise
you really can’t stay
but don’t sweat it; no
there’s nothing for you here
there’s nothing for you here
take the last train
it’s the last stop
'cause it’s where you've got to always land
now the air is clear
you really don’t mind
walking on the sliding sand
groggy high-rise
her mouth won’t say
but don’t you get it, now?
there’s nothing for you here
there’s nothing for you here

Unpredictable glitchy xenharmonic experimental electronic music... leaning into pop. "Outside of Time" is simply chill-inducing, a rare beauty. Jostaberry
Deerhoof continue pushing boundaries in form, harmony, and sound. The penultimate track feels cathartic after the explorations of the previous songs. Ending with lo-fi Bach somehow works perfectly. Jostaberry
The experimental rock band's new record is as melodic and inventive as ever, but now with an even more honed sense of play. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 27, 2024
