I's with my boys the other day. We's trippin' out on LSD, where we can breathe. Just breathe. My boys went out for a walk. I sat and played my guitar because I was too fucked up. Sit and breathe. Just breathe. Just breathe.

Outer Space 03:08
so tired, this place it makes me wanna leave to outer space escape so I can breathe that's why I'm feelin' down every time I'm on the ground we should be on our way any other day your lips, my face meet as asteroids race through time and chase the stars through outer space that's why I'm on the ground begging to be found let's try to spread our wings hula hoop with saturn's rings no sun today rain stays and the skies are grey that's why I yearn for outer space a longing to fall no clouds to hate that's why I like you 'round when I'm feelin' really down let's swim or else we'll drown if were stranded in this town

Shark Weak 04:36
Can't get you out of my head. The world will never understand. The world will never understand. My thoughts are writing on the wall. These words you use to write with crayon. And oh, you sea, these words are eating me. I'm feeling so shark weak again. Oh my, I'm feeling so damn shark weak again and you'll never understand. The world will never understand.

Damn, I've lost my head. Eating ice cream with a fork again. With all my imaginary friends. And all my imaginary friends. Always by my side. Always by my side. Always by my side. Always by my side.

Shakedown 02:22
recuperation the preparation for the next day out creation the fixation to look forward to the next one sensation is the captivation to keep you hanging round and round and round celebrations no decorations I hit the wall and then I fall all I needed was your call is this a shakedown? is this a shakedown? is this a breakdown? oh, nothing is the same now
6.
How about those sports teams? comma, repeat conversations on the daily how's the weather? sun or snow fuck I know How's your school? What are you taking? That's nice sweetheart, Whatcha making of this high fool straight from high school on his way to better things so what? I'm high and waisted like your baby blue Levi's with the tear on the knee we'll reminisce bout nothing missed but what we seek Yesterday, the plumber told me I'm a poet and a scholar so I quit my job and took some drugs under the sun. Should I pack my bags and move to Minnesota or Zimbabwe or the Spanish Banks and live inside a bug with my love? In paradise, we will sit and breathe and reminisce about nothing. Just drifting in the coastal breeze. LA LA LA

about

Shakedown (2020) arrives as Lovely Company’s second EP presenting concepts related to Leaning Into the Afternoon (2020), such as exploring life’s unexpected transformations. Shakedown is a focal point on subsisting through trauma endured during these transformations. Shakedown, being a moment of collapse, self-reflection, recuperation, and rebuilding — whether deliberate or not. Shakedown, created in its entirety during isolation, is a tape for the wounded who seek greener pastures. Is this a shakedown? Just breathe. Is this a breakdown? Let’s leave. Can we?

All proceeds from this EP will be donated to the Unist’ot’en Camp 2020 Legal Fund to support the indigenous reoccupation of Wet’suwet’en land.

Written and recorded between March 2020 — July 2020

Produced, engineered, and mixed by Lovely Company on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil- Waututh) Nations, in the Dunbar neighbourhood of Vancouver, British Columbia.
