about

After having his mind blown by LCD Soundsystem live, Adam Spry teamed up with producer Trevor Brooks (Netflix’s Sex Education soundtrack) and like mad scientists they began experimenting. Fusing lush layers of vintage synthesizers, pulsing disco drum beats and Spry’s forthright vocals, they emerged from the lab with an earworm that is sure to live in the ether of art rock.

lyrics

Love is magic I hope it lasts forever
But I’ll settle on it cutting through the static
Hold my hand I hear your sister fighting
And I’m praying for the life of the ampersand
Take a breath loneliness surrounds you
Then reminds you of the love that you’ve got left
You’re so close late night city rambling
San Francisco sidewalks are a ghost

Just like the paint that’s on the wall
I feel like I’m chipping away
Just like the paint that’s on the wall
I feel like I’m chipping away

Drink tonight look over your shoulder
Somewhere in the distance shines a light
Redirect I think you’re mistaken
Traded in your heart for intellect

Just like the paint that’s on the wall
I feel like I’m chipping away
Just like the paint that’s on the wall
I feel like I’m chipping away


Doing, I’m doing, I’m doing it wrong
If I’m doing I’m doing I’m doing it wrong
If I’m doing I’m doing I’m doing it wrong
If I've been doing it wrong

Doing, I’m doing, I’m doing it wrong
If I’m doing, I’m doing, I’m doing it wrong
Yes I’m doing, I’m doing, I’m doing it wrong
If I've been doing it wrong
