Myra's fortune disappeared when she did Only five years later they found it A small copper box bound with steel rings No instructions how to open it For such a box It was very light

My heart and lungs can't contain the water on my left side A sunset coast hits the highway where mountain and sea collide

Research and dancing The world is a twin Five and seven

We watched the car sink into the puddle We watched the light get lost in the tunnel We watched the cookie dry up and crumble We watched the ocean fold in a huddle We watched our mothers waiting at soccer We watched our cell phones buzz in our pockets We watched our friends make fun of religion We watched the scandal on television We watched our options, they're never ending if you forget the required spending We listened closely, but could hear nothing I'm pretty sure that they must be bluffing! We watched the train come close to extinction We praised the general of such distinction We felt the weight of the city growing We watched the eyes light, dazzle and glowing Oh yeah, we watched it all!

Thirty days in the sun gives a sunburn Would you like that? I wouldn't like that I'd buy sunscreen if I were you Twenty days on the moon gives some serious oxygen deprivation I wouldn't like that I'd rent a mask if I were you Two days in limbo might get you bent backward I would stand up straight if I were you or days will go and go and go One moment here might get you kinda backwards Is this real? Is this real?

Mom called earlier today She said: You are not ordinary You are so individual Don't hang with the bad kids Keep them a good distance! If you feel a pull You are not ordinary, keep your brights on and say: get away!

about

On their new album "Portrait of", LA's Similar Fashion has wild, pivoting, and colorful arguments about how to move through Logan Hone's playfully melodic songs. Deerhoof's John Dieterich produced the album, bringing electricity to Lauren Baba’s rich viola, clarity to Greg Uhlmann’s staccato guitar, and thunder to Jesse Quebbeman-Turley’s gargantuan drums.

Folding in elements from Bill Frisell's Americana, Arthur Russell's plainspoken disco, Tim Berne's contrapuntal puzzles, and Deerhoof's booming punk, Similar Fashion stays restless and exploratory, uncomfortable in its ostensible hometown of "jazz," but unwilling to settle for too long anywhere else.

"Portrait of" showcase a raucous jumble of glassy experiments at different scales, shifting nimbly from a curious little sea-tumbled shard to a massive downtown obelisk looming overhead. Stated plainly in "Portrait of Arthur Russell," this album is the generative and beautiful collision of "research and dancing."

-Luke Williams
