lyrics
Cain kept a Warhol
In his back pocket
Just in case
He knew it was wrong
Asked me to play along
He said God may not like it
God may not be happy
I asked "But what will God say
When they find Khaled
Hanging above Emperor's chariot parking space?"
He asked Am I my brother's keeper?
Have you checked in cyberspace?
And how do you know a man's name
who no longer has a face?
Cain kept a Dali
In a secret place
With amphetamines
He knew it was wrong
Asked me to play along
He said God may not like it
God may not be happy
I asked "But what will God think
When Abu says he doesn't know
Where are St. Augustine & Kayla Jean?"
He said am I my sister's keeper?
I'll pay him a visit on my lunch break
We'll plan a picnic under the apple tree
And have a chat with that mischievous snake
He may know a thing or 2
He says he's tight with a well connected Jew....

Maine singer-songwriter takes his confessional folk in an electronic direction, dabbling in synthwave textures and bedroom pop arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable May 26, 2021
The songs on “Asking/Bearing” feel like eavesdropping on a private conversation, gentle vocals matched with twinkling synths. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 31, 2017
This Chicago (where else?) post-rock group builds wafting atmospheric ambient out of slow drums and a shimmering churn of droning guitars. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 30, 2024
