    ** WEIRD COUNTRY
    [slightly more copies left but still not loads]
    Limited edition 12" black vinyl

    GoldFlakePaint: 'Loaded with extra bite and swagger, Weird Country is a bold new chapter, a fiery burst of indie rock that illuminates all the myriad people and places that inspired it inside its distinct frame.'

    The List ★★★★ - Illustrates different sides of Glasgow's musical influences with personality and humour. The record's themes of cultural openness, internationalism and self-critique aren't far from the surface, yet they're delivered in such glowing, self-possessed fashion as to be only available to those who wish to pick them out. The music is for all.

    The Scotsman ★★★★ - There is much of Glasgow’s freewheeling 80s indie sound in Weird Country, a joyous looseness and a charming twang, as well as deliberate nods to Pavement and The Velvet Underground.

    The Skinny ★★★★ - Weird Country is a triumph, a clear step forward from Savage Mansion. A playful, witty record - which urges the listener not to take themselves (or the band) too seriously, while still finding time to tackle some ambitious themes.


    The National - 'These are songs that reveal themselves in increments and change meaning depending on context, like an abalone shell shimmering in the sun. It feels special.


    For The Rabbits - 'A beacon of creativity and hope, Savage Mansion’s second step is an intriguing one, a gentle re-imagining of their sound that further marks them out as one of Scotland’s most intriguing new bands'

    Includes unlimited streaming of Weird Country via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Silver on the dome and a search engine chrome look at all of my tabs,
Bought a ticket for one to see Jason Statham
Fight the Megalodon
I’m an astronaut now! Go to bed when I like
Gathering rhyming slang I won’t apologise for the sins of the world
I wanna see what it’s worth not go bitter and young

I saw pictures again - don’t remind me of them
That’s not who I was
Pitched a lonely tent, be your only friend - that’s not who I was
But who is your new love? A poet supersonic? And who is the sequel?

Western’s the path to criticise!
Signposted clear it’s black and white
Holding on by my fingertips

One foot after the other, one foot after the other
Taking the four downtown honey
One foot after the other, one foot after the other
Staying the same? I won’t die trying
One foot after the other

That wasn’t me, not punching the walls, not raising fresh hell and without a cause
That wasn’t me I don’t know who that was
That wasn’t me I don’t know who that was
Back to the culture, eyes on the time, of a golden age that never was mine
That wasn’t me I don’t know who that was
