i thought i knew the way it was
there’s nothing left to say
now everybody’s buying cars
spending weekends in the city
cashing in war bonds
and playing the market
pulling forty an hour
and paying bills by the handful
getting quarterly raises
going corporate with
style
i thought i knew the way it was
i thought i knew the people around me
i’m drowning those thoughts in the valley
there’s nothing left to say
i thought i knew the way it was
style

Castlebeat’s “VHS” offsets bright, jangly songs with smoky, lo-fi production, giving their pie-eyed melodies a sense of mystery. Bandcamp New & Notable May 7, 2018
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 16, 2021
