1.	Slow Silver 03:17	lyrics	buy track
Born in Yakima River rafting on the Yakima Down at Eshbaugh This was Spokane in the summer Forgive me if I don’t remember You got arrested at the whataburger Oh yeah, what a bummer You got naked in the restaurant Swinging at the officer. They were just protecting you We all kinda thought so too Slow Silver got me through this Slow Silver I don’t do it. I remember there was nothing to it Breathe smelled like break fluid I’d jumped the fence again Out the house seeking haven You been weave and bobbing Had people believing we was goblins Line have been saved from bad weather We know no better we must seek shelter Slow Silver got me through this Slow Silver I don’t do it. Meet me at the beach meet me at the beach Slow Silver got me through this Slow Silver I don’t do it.

Jerry strawberry was awake in 92 he said he hurt his tooth Even though that wasn’t true so he could surf on a legendary swell Created by a hurricane that shit was insane He’s a welder back on the mainland He’s from Redondo and he’s successful Jerry Strawberry was awake in 92 but now he’s missing Dicky Chang and that shits lame And he told us that Noah’s Arc was flooded way up there and that it’s still there And that rainbows are a promise from god To never flood the earth To never flood the earth again

Recognizing whats good for some ain’t best for all and thats troublesome Don’t know where I’m coming from so I blocked it out & thats sad for some I’ve been high and I fell down but it ain’t hard for us travelers Doubt that you can fly and besides fuck whats advertised Na Na na na na na you could never even follow him Na Na na na na na why would you try its a collared whim Na Na na na na na you could never even follow him Na Na na na na na why would you try its a collared whim Recognizing whats good for some ain’t best for all and thats troublesome If I get there early I guess I won’t form a rattle sun We should try to wait for time but I could see to and fucked up Lifted nights of weight and fell asleep under the burning sun Na Na na na na na you could never even follow him Na Na na na na na why would you try its a collared whim Na Na na na na na you could never even follow him Na Na na na na na why would you try its a collared whim Recognizing whats good for some ain’t best for all and thats troublesome Guess I don’t care if thats even fair you still gotta run If you’re not aware you’ll find your self out in the burning sun.

The fuck are you doing here? Standing staring like a deer Stepped out a photo booth No nearer to the truth you lie Pouring rain umbrellas soaked Nervous laughter without jokes New York City seems so small Vacant behind eyes is all The fuck are you doing here? Standing staring like a deer Stepped out a photo booth No nearer to the truth you lie Pouring rain umbrellas soaked Nervous laughter without jokes New York City seems so small Vacant behind eyes is all What are the chances, A city spring even-ing Some Chelsea Hotel bar An NFT exhibits Open Sea contributes A flier seen downtown Surprised you’re still around Felt I’d saw a ghost Ate pizza in Park Slope A city spring even-ing Some Chelsea Hotel bar An NFT exhibits Open Sea contribute What are the chances,
5.	Marmalade 03:49	lyrics	buy track
I thought I left it behind when I got older but it’s still here all the same fears Every time I come to town I wear my best broken crown And I must rebuild it And again and again and again and again Peanut butter side won’t hurt just try It’s marmalade Every shark around these waters been biting knees for daughters it’s not my coffin it is yours Tired of waiting Tired of waiting around Tired of waiting For marmalade
6.	Up Turnt Living 02:17	lyrics	buy track
Turn it up, why don’t ya baby? Ohhh waaa… Started out in about third grade. When they made us read USA Today.. Guilty gas when you push your car. And a general who had four stars. Politicians told us it was necessary, then the man on a t-shirt, we killed him. Wore it like a trophy, didn’t ya? It’s a stunt we could recognize, it seemed like fire and seemed like lying. In the name of the land I was destine to pay my taxes, oh thats classic. If you tried to get around it, there was nothing you could say about it. Say goodbye to the city, and ride that wave of bullshit forward. Everything got lazy after. So we tried but we didn’t know, that it’s the things that you had to share. It’s the things that you had to share.

I turn it on and I feel it in my arms I turn it off and I feel in my heart You turn around it’s takes over your town With their devices they select and start select and start Super Nintendo video game show taught me all that I need to know A swellings my hands A swelling in my heart From hours driving my Mario cart I turn it on and it starts to glow I smell my favorites thats how I know Super Nintendo video game show taught me all that I need to know

about

Howardian Olympia, Washington

Howardian is an American pop collective fronted by Ian Vanek (x-Japanther.) The group uses loose poly rhythms, sticky
synth melodies and dynamic vocal hooks to make strange songs for weird people. The resulting infectious art-rock is authentic and catchy. Howardian's tracks feature fuzzy, distorted walls of sound and plenty of samples, all with a scuzzy garage-rock vibe. ... more
