DrunkNLuv 04:27
A basement, a floor. Hazy, the details are escaping. A face and noise, I think some conversation took place. There's something I can't put my finger on... I'm forgetting something important. A cosmic alignment. I thought astrology was bullshit. But there you are my rhinestone cowboy dream. There's something I can't put my finger on... I'm forgetting something important. Where do I know you from? (Memory is string: The ends pulled tighter around your forefinger drawing blood like wire. Place your trust in weaving coupling the tangles) Was it the night that I was drunk? I remember now.

Posit this into the stupid Well I guess it isn't hard to Sell your shit or borrow it From now or a friend a pot to piss in and a window to throw it out of my face stuck some kind of way why won't you look at me quieter than air sucked out of a room that you have never been ok. Okay. You can go now that you are found. a pot to piss in and a window to throw it out of my face stuck some kind of way why won't you look at me Posit this into the stupid Well I guess it isn't hard to Sell your shit or borrow it From now or a friend

Golden Hair 04:09
Lined up every Sunday morning I heeded every verbal warning 'til it stuck like glue Don’t stray too far from golden you’re the savior that our family needed so I stayed so I Paranoid of everything of I know Paranoid that everyone’s a voice in my head telling me I’d be better Lined up every Sunday morning I heeded all the scare tactics until it broke my mind Now I mourn you like a death I just couldn’t martyr myself again Paranoid of everything of I know Paranoid that everyone’s a voice in my head telling me I’d be better Started to make me sick and I know much better than call you back at all but I still remember still remember Her golden hair

about

Q&A with Jimmy of Rat Champion about the record...

What inspired the EP?

The great state of Idaho! And how fun it is to live here! Actually it’s mostly a lot about the last couple of years with the finer, more private details omitted. But this band started and came to and end and started all over again during the course of this EP and it’s really just a document of us all coming together during COVID, family, financial, emotional, and social troubles and learning to communicate and take care of each other personally and creatively.

Who produced it? What was the recording experience like?

So many people at so many places. The big names are Chance Coon, Sam Gates, Ryan Jolley, and Jake Little. It was a long winding road to get the whole thing done. Some elements of recording were quick and easy and others were difficult logistically and creatively. It was all a learning experience and the thing that it taught me especially was that you gotta take the anxiety that comes from creating and compartmentalize it and focus instead on how all the creatives working with you and towards a goal with you will surprise and impress and humble you along the way. That’s how you have fun doing this!

What do you want people to take away from the EP?

This a proof of concept. I want people to hopefully get a taste of what kind of band we are and to hopefully have nice expectations for the stuff we produce moving forward with greater clarity and focus!

Was there a particular mood you were trying to capture? A story you were trying to tell?

We were just trying to be a band and write songs! Hopefully in retrospect this EP will make sense anthropologically. It should feel frustrated, animated, listless, and like it got made while the world freaked out.
