lyrics

He put a quarter in the wurlitzer
He pushed 3 buttons and the thing began to whir
And a barmaid came by in fishnet stockings in a bowtie and she said
Drink up now
It’s gettin on time for close
Richard got married to a figure skater
Bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator
Drinks at home most nights with the TV on
And all the house lights left up bright
Now the last time I saw him
It was detroit in 68 when he told me
All romantics meet the same fate and he told me
You’ll be cynical and drunk
Some day
And boring someone in some dark
Boring someone in some dark cafe
HA

about

Caley Conway Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Rooted in folk but hardly bound to it, Caley Conway's inventive style ranges from jazz to post-rock, hints at the familiar, and embraces a dissonant beauty. The Milwaukeean's breezy voice and disarming wit belie a deep sonic complexity, bringing a new set of rules to the singer-songwriter paradigm. ... more

one of my favorites this year, and i'm crossing my fingers it gets a physical release. chris porterfield remains one of the best lyricists, writing songs that conjure up emotions that feel so tangible. his form of storytelling is like sitting down with someone and having a conversation; everything is laid out right in front of you, ready to be picked up.

I fell for your sound, and the fact that you recorded this live. I'm about to record a couple of "small albums", one in Norwegian, one in English (about people and things I have experienced on my many travels in Ireland), and your album inspires me to buy myself a good stereomic and do it -more or less- live. I didn't get every word of your lyrics on my phone, but they seem to be something I can relate to, and I'll study them more carefully after downloading the album on my laptop. Good luck!

I really love the beautiful chord choices & the tone of the two guitars is fat grungy pop perfection. Sticks to your ribs like the strokes in the early 00s CRLSS
