Get in my car, I’ll take you for a ride
All the way down I-70
You can sleep in the back, I’ll play a tape you like
With songs soft and heavenly
We’ll stop in Effingham
and get a dinner plate that’s just your size
With piles of fries
You’ll draw the best you can despite the moving car
And fill up pages with your characters
Get on my bus, we’ll ride away from here
‘Cos school is the scariest
I read all the books that are coming out this year
You can learn ‘em vicarious
We’ll build a skyscraper on Merrydale Hill and sell the view
To people coming through
We’ll make a fortune off the people that we know
They love us so
We keep the lights on and the meter running
Puttin’ on a big show just for you
‘Bout time you carry some of that fat weight sugar
Too big for us to carry through
We’ll bind you to the taxman’s treatise of employ and break your back
To pick up all your slack
He’s coming next for your guitar so look alive
And write jingles for pizzerias

Sounds like a great soundtrack for an America as crusty as the tiles on their album cover. Lush instrumentation, pulls you in hypnotically. Magilla Shuwall
My good friend Keith produced and engineered this one. Sounds like you're right there in the room headbanging along. Drives heavy and keeps it interesting. Magilla Shuwall
The sophomore album from former session musician Imraan Paleker highlights his modern soul, alt-rock, jazz, and electronic sensibilities. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 16, 2020
