Devoured By Love

|
Jockeys, politicians, and restaurateurs
Phony people with phony cures
Lovesick fishermen with lovesick lures
Have they been devoured by love?
Fisher cats and dirty rats
Criminals and diplomats
Memphis Slim and Minnesota fats
Have they been devoured by love?
Have they
Crooks breaking rocks in the hot sun
Wanted men out on the run
thrill seeking teenagers just looking for fun
Have they been devoured by love?
Swing dancers, flappers, and vulgar burlesques
Cubicle dwellers alone at their desks
Butchers in basements with blood on their clothes
Pretty girls hunched over painting their toes
Tattooed hunters and hillbilly gun slingers
Red eyed hornets with venomous stingers
Long haired lionhearted folk singers
Have they been devoured by love?
Have they
Soldiers stuck in desert holes
Amateur chefs with casseroles
Drunk drivers on cruise control
Have they been devoured by love?
Birdwatchers chasing a sky full of hawks
A stuttering student ashamed when he talks
Astrologers making it up as they go
Sugar Ray Leonard And old smoking joe
Snake charmers, Buskers, and a crass organ grinder
Rattlesnakes and a slithering sidewinder
If she’s lost, I swear that i’ll find her
And she’ll be devoured by love

supported by 7 fans who also own “Devoured By Love”
This new EP hasn’t left my car since I got it. This is so right for this moment in so many ways, starting with the title song. It’s hard to improve on The ‘Oo but this version hits the right balance between homage and innovation. The guitar sound offers a jangly mid-60s authenticity but the sweeter backing vocals reveal a complexity to the gender confusion that makes it feel entirely up to date...

Cannibal House Rules

Synthwave-y songs from Jonathan Something that embrace electropop and New Romantic and exude low-lit charm.

Outlandish Poetica
by Jonathan Something
An almost anti-blues/anti-rock style that masters classic sounds while mocking the industry’s perceived seriousness.

The new EP from Anastasia Coope flutters and floats like a distant mirage, its ghostly songs eerie and hypnotic.
