I guess it is pretty obvious, but I wrote this song in Los Angeles while helping my parents-in-law pack their things to move across country. Los Angeles is pretty much everything I hate: warm, dirty, angry, loud and HUGE, yet I still keep wanting to go back there.
lyrics
You built your house where the rain wouldn't fall
At the foot of the valley, some time before the sprawl
(you saw it coming, did you not?
darkness and traffic and dust on your breath)
You built your house between desert walls
And watched as the traffic slowed to a crawl
(you saw it coming, did you not?)
Traffic has got to stop

This wild experimental artist from Chicago uses electric kazoos, tape loops, and more to craft far-out, wonderfully confounding songs. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 15, 2021
