Japotly I've just listened through this album on Discogs, since it's not released yet on here (12:47) But each track was great! I've been anticipating for this album for a long time now, and it exceeded my expectations. In the time between the catchy and unique guitar riff in the beginning of the album to the sound of the bugs at night on the last track, I wasn't disappointed at all. Keep up the good work! I will be listening through this album so many times in the future.

2.	Junk 02:45	lyrics	buy track
When you were a child you’d watch cartoons Now you’re an intellectual, you only read the news There comes a time where we die a little bit, deep inside / Innocence runs and hides Memories become lies We all try to preserve any fun but it turn into junk over time—over time When you were wild, you’d make people swoon Now you’re settled down, eating lukewarm food There comes a time where we die a little bit, deep inside / Innocence runs and hides Memories become lies We all try to preserves any fun but it turns into junk over time—over time

Don’t tell me how to live my life / Don’t be such a backseat driver You warned me once and warned me twice / It doesn’t help me get any higher Don’t tell me how to live my life / Don’t be such a backseat driver You warned me once and warned me twice / It doesn’t help me get any higher You showed me—told me, what normal life looks like, now I’m back on my stride Don’t tell me how to live my life / Don’t be such a backseat driver You hit me once and hit me twice / It doesn’t help me get any higher Don’t me how to live my life / Don’t be such a backseat driver You left me once, you left me twice / It doesn’t help me get any higher You showed me—told me, what normal life looks like, but you were never on my side

I got a really good reason to say goodbye and move on We watch the turn of the seasons and listen to the same songs Wave goodbye / Settle out / Wave goodbye ‘Cuz we’re skipping town / ‘Cuz we’re skipping town ‘Cuz we’re skipping town / ‘Cuz we’re skipping town I’m alone, I’m a heathen / I say goodbye and move on I watch them bending their reason and listen to the same songs Wave goodbye / Settle out / Wave goodbye ‘cause we’re skipping town / ‘cause we’re skipping town ‘cause we’re skipping town / ‘cause we’re skipping town

Built yourself a summer home—you made it out of sticks and stones and nonbelievers broken bones who looked at you and laughed Carried out the master plan and got the kids to join your band Now you tour the greater land, macrodosing laughs You do it for thrills / Sensations that kill, for the moment You do it for thrills / Sensations that kill, for the moment—for the moment—for the moment Built yourself a bummer home—you made it out of glass and foam Daring me to throw my stones but I don’t have the aim Carried out the your master plan and got the kids to like your band Now your wish is their command, macrodosing pain You do it for thrills / Sensations that kill, for the moment You shoot it for thrills / Sensations that kill, for the moment—for the moment—for the moment —for the moment—for the moment

Choose your way to brood, its all understood We are on this sinking ship, vacation’s done us good Caught me on my side—I’m your southern bride I’ll burn down your house, I’ll burn down your house I’m huffing glue and causing a scene Those pictures of you look like pictures of me What’s your favorite food—things I can’t pronounce Apparently we’re done-fore, the captain just announced Found me on my back—I’m a sad old sack I’ll burn down your house, I’ll burn down your house I’m huffing glue and causing a scene Those pictures of you look like pictures of me

Pain shoots through my side, I don’t wanna know the meaning Lies on top of lies, you just speak without a feeling And it spreads and it tingles, from my head to my fingers And it spreads and it tingles, from my head to my fingers He don’t wanna speak, he can’t, he just pantomimes She don’t wanna speak, she can’t, she just pantomimes They don’t wanna speak, they can’t, they just pantomime We don’t wanna speak, we can’t, we just pantomime This is my sick day, I’ll be on my way This is my sick day, I’ll be on my way (And its spreads and it tingles, from my head to my fingers) This is my sick day, I’ll be on my way (And its spreads and it tingles, from my head to my fingers) This is my sick day, I’ll be on my way

Mother gave you her smile / Daddy gave you his fear Doggy licks your arm / Walk a lonely path Keep a steady guard / You look pretty hard Mother gave you her smile / Daddy gave you his fear Doggy licks your arm / Walk a lonely path Keep a steady guard / You look pretty hard Take me to the places I can recognize Take me to the places I can recognize Take me to the places I can recognize Take me to the places I can recognize

You’re still on the other line working out the finer print Throwing out my meds today, I don’t wanna feel like shit We can’t get along / We can’t get along / We can’t get along / We can’t get along Walking on the beach today, thinking of our old mistakes Double-dose my meds today, I don’t wanna make you stay We can’t get along / We can’t get along / We can’t get along / We can’t get along Forget it, no one knows / Forget it, no one knows / Forget it, no one knows / Forget it, no one knows / Forget it, no one knows/ Forget it, no one knows / Forget it, no one knows / Forget it, no one knows Forget it, no one knows (it isn’t giving up, it isn’t giving in) Forget it, no one knows (it isn’t giving up, it isn’t giving in) Forget it, no one knows (it isn’t giving up, it isn’t giving in) Forget it, no one knows (it isn’t giving up, it isn’t giving in) Forget it, no one knows (it isn’t giving up, it isn’t giving in) Forget it, no one knows (it isn’t giving up, it isn’t giving in) Forget it, no one knows (it isn’t giving up, it isn’t giving in) Forget it, no one knows

Walking through a gallery of jackets that make you feel like one of the Ramones Everything you want but you can’t have it—paying of your debt and student loans Spend your days just shopping in these windows, clinical and critical and bored Spend your time just shopping in these windows, looking at the things you can’t afford Walking past a cavalry of misfits who make you feel far more on your own All you really want is a companion—waiting for responses on your phone Spend your days just shopping in these windows, clinical and critical and bored Spend your time just shopping in these windows, looking at the things you can’t afford

about

Where Have All My Friends Gone? The new album by BOYO, the LA-based multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Robert Tilden, reflects the sentiments of loss, isolation and confusion Tilden experienced while a 2017 health scare turned his world upside down. Tilden and his groovy, psych-drenched pop soundscapes were primed for a national breakout when he began experiencing unexplained seizures. He spent a year under the care of specialists who experimented with different powerful medications for an undiagnosed brain condition, leaving his career—and health—in question.

In 2018, Tilden was diagnosed with an acute form of frontal lobe epilepsy, was prescribed the right daily regimen of pills and has been free of seizures ever since. Slowly, life became less of a daily crisis. But the experience of friends alienated by his medically-induced, uncontrollable mood shifts and his isolation due to irrational fears had taken its toll. He seized the opportunity to make a record entirely on his own, finding comfort in his isolation and in the work of songwriters like Bradford Cox and Mark Linkous. Fusing those artists’ ability to turn the bleak into beauty with his own newfound focus on songwriting and production, the foundation of WHAMFG? was formed.

One of the hallmarks of BOYO’s music is its ability to use a real sense of hurt and confusion to connect to audiences and manifest itself sonically in a powerful and accessible way. BOYO has come out from under an avalanche and grown expansively to make the album of its career.
