1.	Can't Count on Anyone 02:24	lyrics	buy track
Long lines at cattle calls High brows, they peddle off And I want...everything Big room, a free for all Brain like a cannonball And I’m bound... to see through Can’t count on anyone, can’t count on anyone Can’t count on anyone, can’t count on anyone to breakthrough Plaid couch and broken clocks Cold calls and falling stocks Pick it up... let it roll No noise a subtle pop Blacked out for all to watch Now they know... who I am Can’t count on anyone, can’t count on anyone Can’t count on anyone, can’t count on anyone to breakthrough
2.	My Time 03:06	lyrics	buy track
Another night alone Guess I, need time Wave goodbye and I’m Often let down I fell inside a hole Into a plain life I’m a wall and I Build up and break down I wasn’t on the call Seems like they don’t talk Gave out a drink or two Found out they all walked I pulled him down again Pushed through another lull
3.	Pacing 02:11	lyrics	buy track
I mimicked all his words And thought I had it made But then a kick in the head Then they told me that... ... the radio plays Another pace down the line And the year goes by He didn’t seem alright I heard him out again Guess he was on a plane Another knock at the door It was on until... ...the radio plays Another pace down the line And the year goes by He didn’t seem alright And the radio plays Another pace down the line And the years goes by He didn’t seem alright
4.	Yips 02:42	lyrics	buy track
Another year full of pride and doubt Wayside on the road again And who are you to say I’m the only one? Weighed down, maybe they’ll hear me out I didn’t mind when you said it was an overpass Way out, missed the plate again Head down with years to go, I didn’t seem to know Who am I if I’m not playing the rest? And who are you? Who are you? Who are to say I’m a mess? Looking for work while it’s winding down Memphis, I was such a mess And who are you to say I’m the only one? Face down, another life to live I didn’t mind when you said it was an overpass Way out, missed the plate again Face down with years to go, I didn’t seem to know Who am I if I’m not playing the rest? And who are you? Who are you? Who are to say I’m a mess? And who are you? Who are you? Who are to say I’m a mess?

about

We really enjoyed writing and recording our first EP in late 2020. With that in mind, we committed ourselves to revisiting the studio again in the summer of 2021 regardless of how many songs we’d written. That commitment put a nice bit of creative pressure on us, so we regularly met at Chris’ house and uncovered a new batch of songs that aligned with our collective vision for the band. When we went to the studio, our hope was to record at least two of the songs we’d written. Thankfully, we found a really nice creative workflow while we were at the studio and were able to record four songs in one afternoon. The EP title is a reference to an art gallery in downtown Water Valley that we frequently encountered during our walks across the city — when we first saw the place, we thought it was a windowless bar, which, for us, was very exciting.
