about
"L O S E R S" appears alone following 2014’s "My, My," that got alcohol poisoning and puked on your heart's inhibitions;
A foreword to SHVS’s fabulous, clumsy, freak of an LP;
A collection titled, "LUSH."
"LUSH" is:
menacing jumps and sudden skips, thrown shade, indoor spitting, the roasting of egos giggly upon self-served high-pony-pearly-pedestal-above-you-attitude predilections, lazy, narcissistic romance buried under previously stated subjects, headaches halted by dog hairs, etc.
lyrics
the puddle's bigger than you thought it was
entering the daily buzz
what's the point to even talk?
stifle zero words because
nobody's right in front of ya
you're only proving who you stalk
given the best insight,
everything that's right is never good
all hopping in, like the status says you should
What are you doing?
you'll always lose
why argue
with time to choose which words you use?
nights stumbling up and down bad streets
tryna find someone you'd wanna meet
face to face me through the web
falling in love again,
you're gonna be the best of friends
absent other dependence
I'm always right

Without a doubt, this track - let alone the ensuing collection of songs - would not exist. An infinite thanks to Ron Flack, his family and friends for allowing "LUSH" to exist.
Dark and seething post-punk from Cincinnati that's appealingly janky enough to make a tired genre feel fresh and urgent. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2023
