Poesy Rider Pour moi, sans nul doute le meilleur album du groupe ! On y retrouve ce qui fait le charme et la folie des albums précédents, mais le style a été encore peaufiné pour faire l'un des meilleurs albums de l'année dans le genre. Indispensable ! Favorite track: Filthy Feline.

Greg Murphy Stop. You have stumbled into one of the most creative undiscovered musicians that one could find. You're already fortunate to be here. Listen asap. This might be Americana blues rock with some odd influences at first, but it eventually becomes nothing like that while still retaining a cohesive sound. You'll realize that LK loves mathcore, avant prog, operatic vocals, and more. This is one of the best vocal performances of the year on top of an album that feels perfectly designed for that voice.

Momma said we need a hobby so we picked up smokin' (We) never use a rubber cuz they always end up broken. We go to the church for the taste of cheap wine. We got the kind of faces no mother could love. Bad tattoos in places you don't want to think of. You say we're worse than bad. Well, that's just fine. Oooh, la la la la. Ooooh la la la la Oooh, la la la la. Ooooh la la la la We make piss taste smooth and sweet. We're the mold to your meat (Bad News Brothers) We're the reason why you lose (Bad News Brothers) We're the rich man's blues (Dog-faced lovers) We just can't help but say that today's a good day for bad news. The day we were born, Papa said we looked old. The plaque on our teeth was the closest we had to gold. We got no lovers or friends, just lice and fleas Oooh, la la la la. Ooooh la la la la Oooh, la la la la. Ooooh la la la la We're the reason why you drink. Don't swim, just sink to our level (Bad News Brothers) We're the reason why you lose (Bad News Brothers) We're the rich man's blues (Dog-faced lovers) We just can't help but say that today's a good day for bad news. Sons of Satan need the Devil's daughters We'll be the fever to your hot and bothered. So come on down, so come on down to the dark and dirty South. Like a bitch, we're the itch that never leaves. We rip the heart right off of your sleeve. Honey, don't worry. Why you in a hurry to run back home up North? Drink up Nah nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah ladi-dadi-da bah bah-boom Bah. Bah-ooga. Muh-a-e-a-e-oogah. Nah nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah ladi-dadi-da bah bah-boom Bah. Bah-ooga. Muh-a-e-a-e-oo juh-boo-boo Boom. Pow Boom. Pow. We make piss taste smooth and sweet. We're the mold to your rotten meat. We're the reason why you drink. Don't swim just sink. (Bad News Brothers) We're the reason why you lose (Bad News Brothers) We're the rich man's blues (Dog-faced lovers) We just can't help but say that today's a good day for bad news. (Bad News Brothers) We're the worst, we're the worst (Bad News Brothers) We're the worst, we're the worst (Dog-faced lovers) We just can't help but say that today's a good day to be bad in the worst way So shut up and make way for bad news.

I'm stuck in a hole so I eat my way out with blood in my mouth my mother screams for mercy They rip me from the womb (ow) Tie my limbs together like a gift of flesh. Baptized in my own filth. What a warm welcome. Mud and stone blood and bone My soul is just smoke from the ash swept underneath the sludge and trash The ground opens up and swallows me. Promises I'll never be free. Become one with the dirt. Dreams of days before my birth Mud and stone blood and bone Reborn in the city of stone In a temple of bones. This is the land the gods forgot. Mud and stone blood and bones take me all the way back home

In a mean world of mice and fleas and no Band-aids to cover your knee, Lies a raggedy feline or rather a tiny lion. Her breath's spoiled from sour milk. Her coat's not exactly smooth as silk. She sifts through the trash to feast on apple cores, peach pits, and grease. She preys on those with awful woes who live in soiled pantyhose. She feels like life's a bitch when she can't scratch an itch. She can't deny the glee she gets when her prey screams “SAVE ME”. No one has ever escaped her... Claws. The worst of it all, Pinned down with your face in the dirt. Can't get up to crawl. Goddamn filthy feline with blood on her claws. (She) takes impeccable care licking murder off her paws. Such an ugly scowl Make you screech and howl. She's the filthiest feline with blood on her claws. Ev'ry hump gave her a litter and with ev'ry batch made her bitter. So she walked her kittens down the street to test the theory if cats can really land on their feet. Tossed them off the bridge by the scruff of their necks to see her babies fly It could be worst. They could be under her... Claws. The worst of it all, Pinned down with your face in the dirt. Can't get up to crawl. Goddamn filthy feline with blood on her claws. (She) takes impeccable care licking murder off her paws. Such an ugly scowl Make you screech and howl. She's the filthiest feline with blood on her claws. Goddamn filthy feline with blood on her claws. (She) takes impeccable care licking murder off her paws. Such an ugly scowl Make you screech and howl. She's the filthiest feline with blood on her claws. Hungrier than swine who eats her mice raw. Ugly but divine despite her flaws. The filthiest feline.

I ain't a tree, I'm a stump. A camel without a hump. I ain't no rose. I'm a thorn. I'm a baby who was never born. Wide shut I'm a pure mutt I'm the world's fattest skeleton. I have yet to got where I've been. Yeah, I'm soft as grit And I'm clean as shit determined to quit. You know, I heard some rumors since I've been deaf... Hey, muthuh-lovuh, what the heck you say to me? Has anybody told ya I'm a little crazy? I scream my throat out without saying a word. It makes so much sense it's perfectly absurd. Don't you do What I say. I demand to never have it my way. I'm as pretty as the most perfect turd. It makes so much sense it's perfectly absurd. I always tell the tell the truth unless (I'm under oath) Between a 'No' or a 'Yes' (always choose both) I've never felt so alive (since I've been dead) I got foil on my head I am as quaint as a murderous saint When I'm up South. Sweet, gentle parental discretion's void And I'm happily annoyed. Yeah, I'm soft as grit and I'm clean as shit You know I'm overjoyed to throw a fit. Determined to quit. I've opened my eyes since I've been blind... Hey, muthuh-lovuh, what the heck you say to me? Has anybody told ya I'm a little crazy? I scream my throat out without saying a word. It makes so much sense it's perfectly absurd. Don't you do What I say. I demand to never have it my way. I'm as pretty as the most perfect turd. It makes so much sense it's perfectly absurd. I'm obscenely coy. The world's oldest boy. Enough of the fluff. Let's get to the beef... Hey, motherFUCKer, what the FUCK you say to me? Didn't I FUCKin' tell you that I'm FUCKin' crazy? I scream my throat out without saying a word. It makes so much sense it's perfectly absurd. FUCK you, motherFUCKer. What the FUCK you say to me? Didn't I FUCKin' tell you that I'm FUCKin' crazy? That's one too many FUCKs to put in one FUCKin' song. Well, I say FUCK you. You're FUCKin' wrong.

We're sinking and shrinking and thinking that we might be lost here. Don't say that. You're mistaken. You're just a bit shaken-up. So, relax. Here, just have a seat. Have a drink. Rest your aching feet. No, please. Where is my son, my daughter? Were they lost in the water? Hush... No, please... Hush... ...tell me. Hello, Mother, Father, don't cry. Let your tears dry. We were lost but now we're found. We sank be never drowned. We are crowned in coral Come back. We hear children sing. Deep in the blue, all here is tender and true. Our souls are swimming. Deep in the depths, never have we felt so alive. Just breath. Don't worry, Mom. We're deep in the calm. Immersed in beauty and swaddled in sleep. Now we must go. For now, we will say good bye... No, wait! Don't go! Time is up. We think you've seen enough. Let us show you to your room. No, please. Just let us join our children. We need this to fill in the hole (Have a seat. Have a drink) ...in our souls (Just relax. In due time) Patience, please. Let us put you at ease. Our babies aren't with us. Who are you to deny us? Hush... No, please... Hush... No, please... Hush... No, please...

Slither 03:43
She slithers through the crowd oozing venom and sleaze. With a slit-eyed stare, she brings grown men to their knees. A fork for a tongue and some knives for the fangs (I've been slain) When she shakes her rattle, it makes my heart come to a stop. She got crimson scales from the tail to the top. She's a demon and a witch. She's the scratch to my itch. Oh, baby, where you been? Just sink your teeth in. Slither. Come hither with poison for a fiend. Swallow me whole. You're my only serpent queen. Lick me. Make me sickly. Marked with your breath. Hold me in your grip. Kiss me to death. She's as old as the dirt on the earth. She's the devil. She knows how much your soul's worth. I'm sorry. It ain't much. If only you felt her touch (I've been slain) I'd go to battle at the beckon of her hiss. Adorned with a rattle and bite marks on my wrist. She's a lover like no other. A coldblooded mother. I've been waiting all night for your bite. Slither. Come hither with poison for a fiend. Swallow me whole. You're my only serpent queen. Lick me. Make me sickly. Marked with your breath. Hold me in your grip. Kiss me to death.

Alright, I brushed my hair back and popped my pimples. I am ready to enter this room. Right now, I'm just a boy but that's OK. I'll be a man soon. Let's go. I've been drinking for what felt like days I've been brushing my teeth but the smell won't go away. I tried bathin' and shavin'. I think I need some savin'. You know what the “H” means? Jesus Hygiene Christ. I'm wearing jeans that are just too tight (Oh, no). I saw this girl at this party tonight. So I'm jumpin'. Fist pumpin'. I'm hopin' for some humpin'. We made eye contact at least once or twice. She said, “make like a tree and leave”. I don't wanna be alone. “Well, too bad. Go home. Just go home”. I got the courage to get up and dance (Oh, no). I stepped too wide and I split my pants. My lefty, my righty stickin' out my tighty-whities. What do I do? Pull yourself together, man. I try to tip-toe to the corner of the room to hide myself and my split pantaloons. God, I'm ugly. No, I'm fugly. Yes, that label fits me snugly just like my poor pants. God, I hate myself. Why did I bring myself here? Don't mind me... Alright, pull yourself and your pants together. It's not the end of the world. It's a Halloween party after all. You can just say it's part of your costume or put on a mask and no one will ever have to know it's you. It's OK. You'll get through this. Aah-ooooooooooooh. Please, don't mind me. I just want some punch. I wanna get piss drunk tonight so I can pretend this never happened. “Will you please stop breathing on me?” I don't wanna be alone. “Well, too bad. Go home. Just go home.” God, I hate myself. Why did I bring myself here?

about

My attempt at bastardized funk, prog rock, noir, surf, punk, pseudo jazz, big band, and blues. Scum pop might be fitting.

Lyrics and music written, performed, and produced by Lou Kelly.

Album cover: I snagged a public domain picture from here:

publicdomainarchive.com/public-domain-images-1920%E2%80%B2s-vintage-mugshots-nswpd-special-photographs

"Here is an gallery of public domain images from the New South Wales Police Department that were taken in the 1920′s. This special photograph selection were mostly taken at the Central Police Station, Sydney and compared with the subjects of typical prison mug shots, the subjects of the Special Photographs seem to have been allowed to compose themselves for the camera as they wanted."
