about

I asked Caitlin to write me a piano ballad and instead she wrote a synth pop banger. Doors/windows. Lyrically, obviously running on a whole lot of Hold Steady/Lifter Puller and The Wonder Years. LookiMakeMusic have had some great house parties over the last two years. We've had some of the best times dancing in living rooms. London's good and all but it's not my favourite city. "We're not bad people, we just do bad things" is something that we have to remind each other of every now and then. And who needs heaven when you've got a good house party?

lyrics

Everyone dreams of big dark moments in locked bathrooms at house parties, but most nights all we get is the vague warmth of a mild buzz, hard won hugs and an easily friendly love.

On the best nights you hold your head above the highest point in the whole halogen city and you see the world as tessellated confetti, as the back cover of Boys and Girls in America, as the end credits of every teen movie and you feel like 45 minutes of fireworks set off in just 5 seconds - it knocks all the air from your body but it feels fucking incredible.

You're playing table football in a drunk half light that does us all a lot of favours although you don't need them. One by one I add the rooms in your house to my map of the world and name my daughters after distant friends who never knew quite how much they meant. I'm finally won over by straight spirits in plastic cups, maybe I'm young or maybe London's always a headfuck and it's even weirder without Matt or Nick to back me up about the sheer screaming stupidity of the moves this guy on the elevated decks is pulling. But it's working, so whatever.

Meanwhile the suburbs swallow nights that could've been so fucking sweet if we'd just been given a city. If we'd only had some sugar and noise instead of dark parks and loveless boys.

Bathe me in vodka and glitter, reduce me to whatever you need. Make whatever you want to see. Sometimes giving in feels better and I want to be what you want me to be.

Pull back!

And we'd like it if there was dancing.
And we'd like if it someone did a liquor run.
And we'd like it if this kept going through to six or seven.
And I'd like it if we all stuck together on this one.

There's a little stupid truth in every single track, if when I die I go to somewhere else I want you to bring me back.
