An infectious motorik infused, jangle-pop entry with driving bass and chanting, catchy vocals, Souvenirs is a natural evolution for the band as they take their sound to new heights. Recorded with Seanda McPhail (The Orielles, Doves) at Airtight Studios, Souvenirs is the first taste of what is to come for the band in 2022.
lyrics
Graffiti on the walls of Disneyland,
Dangerous ideas spread with an aerosol can,
A stranger in an even stranger land,
Clutching souvenirs and leaflets in his hands
(And they said)
Are you afraid, are you afraid, (terrified)
I lie awake and think about it every night
We’re running out, we’re running out (of time)
This offer ends when the will to carry on expires
Are you afraid, are you afraid, (give me a sign)
We get born drop dead in the blink of an eye
Are we alone, are we alone (look up to the sky)
Cause down here there’s zero sign of life
There’s strobe lights dancing on an empty room
Twisted faces locked up in their solitary gloom
Election night with game show sound effects
I heard them talking on my radio set
(And they said)
Are you afraid, are you afraid, (terrified)
I lie awake and think about it every night
We’re running out, we’re running out (of time)
This offer ends when the will to carry on expires
Are you afraid, are you afraid, (give me a sign)
We get born drop dead in the blink of an eye
Are we alone, are we alone (look up to the sky)
Cause down here there’s zero sign of life
Are you afraid, are you afraid
Are you afraid, are you afraid
Are you afraid, are you afraid
Are you afraid, are you afraid
