Slow Silver

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,

Marmalade

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

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

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.
