about
The slinking, fractured grooves of “Somewhere Beyond” call to mind the deranged minimal dub-wave of Naffi or an imagined world where the splattered funk of Maximum Joy were a production of Wackies' Brooklyn studio in the early 1980s.
Elastic basslines and serpentine guitar phrases throb and glide, cutting through the dubwise sonic murk like a hand moving through an opaque cloud of reefer smoke.
lyrics
What am I gonna do? To make it through these days.
All I want is the bill so I can leave. My get up and go has got up and left.
Oh, to be somewhere beyond.
On the road again.
All alone again.
On the road again.
Lick the toad, my friend.
760 of mine. 1989.
It’s so sensitive on its feet.
Driving off the path. Sun rays on my back.
Nothing I’d rather have chasing me.
Tow on a flat bed.
Fantasia permeates.
Get me Nat Sherman on the horn.
Concrete courtyards. Spanish villa stairs.
Taking in the warmth of the air.
Living days by the drink.
Faster than a sliding fridge.
Passing a hat. Driving fast.
Floridian tale. Notch upon my belt.
Complete strangers offer help.
