Ten years ago we said if we were both single we’d meet at the Coney Island where I first saw you. Then you went off, got married, I got lost. I was trying to, “make it,” you made me promise to not forget. I don’t know where you are. I’d like to get to know you. I was scared. Unprepared to see a ghost I never thought would come back to haunt me. But it’s okay if we’re both acting our age. We grew apart for a decade, then again, who’s counting? Missed your call that day. I was stuck in therapy. You were sitting in the same booth. The same seat. The following day you had your surgery. I still remember the last thing you said to me. I don’t know where you are, but I want to get to know you.
Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long. RIP, Phil PaintedDogs
