This is the story of a man
Raised by marsupials somewhere in Turkmenistan
One day his home was pillaged by vikings
After losing a rap battle to Stephen Hawking
So he swam off to the Emirates
But got kidnapped by Somalian pirates
He was then sold for a couple of chickens
Before getting abducted by some aliens
I can't change your luck
But I can try to cheer you up
With my truly silly rhyme
That is so hideous, it's a crime
If I could only get one grin
After you've given this a listen
Then we can sail off to Antarctica
And make friends with the penguins.
He jumped into the water
And got harpooned by a deep sea diver
He was chased by a wolf pack
Which caused him to have a heart attack
He accidentally starred in a porno
The day a chupacabra ate his toe
His girlfriend cheated on him with his therapist
The night he sleepwalked into a drug bust
I can't change your luck
But I can try to cheer you up
With my truly silly rhyme
That is so hideous, it's a crime
If I could only get one grin
After you've given this a listen
Then we can sail off to Antarctica
And make friends with the penguins.

This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem.
From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle. clementinehatepageichangedmymind
The freak-folk collective's debut is full of rich, haunted vocals and experimental melodies derived from more traditional idioms Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 9, 2021
