now I've seen the news
it’s written all over you
and you’re so amused
at starting a war by noon
and I'm a fool
to do what you tell me to
when I pledge allegiance
to another red flag
to another red flag
to another red flag
your violent past
and present are overcast
you know I won’t last
but thanks for the laughing gas
fading fast
but oh, darling since you asked
I'll pledge allegiance
to another red flag
to another red flag
to another red flag
do you need a lover?
or do you need a patriot?
someone there to hold your purse
or someone there to hold your gun?
watch you stuff the body bags
and fix your hair for the parade
I don’t know what you thought we had
I watched you throw it all away
I just want to believe so bad
in all the things you make me say
oh, but hey
I'm still better off this way
you know I won’t make
it out on my own for a day
I'm amazed
just by how much it takes
when I pledge allegiance
to another red flag
to another red flag
to another red flag
This is such a local gem. Tasty, buoyant, conversational improvisations that don't quite sound like anything else but are also totally approachable. A must for guitarists and drummers. Tracy Manuel
Caught this one when it dropped and it's been a constant fave ever since. Super gooey, somber pedal steel meditations with few additives. Transcendent. On repeat every long, lethargic NorCal summer. Tracy Manuel
Off-kilter, relentless, unexpected, and endlessly absorbing piano minimalism. But not like the kind you've heard before. This is bubblier. Tracy Manuel
Entirely analog, lush melodic pop with a tender heart from L.A. artist Human Barbie sounds bigger than the bedroom project it is. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 22, 2020
