    ** 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

A sad, sad day for Malaysian engineering
‘Had a good run, Coco’ - doubled down and explored the feeling, skipped the funeral but made it for the drinks
Aging pop stars police grief with opposable thumbs
suppose that it’s midnight somewhere for someone
Now i’ve summoned a demon on the 9:31 in flannel and hiking boots
Mt Florida’s Neil Young

Is this seat taken?
………not for anyone
Hissing adolescent in a primal rage stay off the clockwork orange off the subway train
God save us all all mammals all mammals all
My favourite customer is a weapon you penny pinching airheads aren’t spendin’
Turn from a south facing window and say ‘I fear them too and this time it’s personal’

Those west coast winds
could last forever I know

With a debt of billions (not adjusted for inflation)
we begged for passengers, citizens to build and rebuild this nation

This is our most sickening shame

There is no wrong or right there is only who
Hunger for power in discoverable truth
Marie Kondo your history and that’s the only version
Then phone in sick phone in sick with a
sunstroke
Superstition

I am against something without loyalty
