Harsh Realm 02:28
On a clotted canyon stage I’ll carry you across this time Debride the cut Dividing us up Cuz I know you You’ll never be ok With every word the same weight falls If I give up I’m taking this whole damn town with me If it’s so easy Then let it all go Go Smiling like an exit sign Laughing at the telltale lines Back when you were the worst Now I’m the worst and I’ll prove it Speak bitters to the air Tell ‘em all that I don’t care Tell ‘em I give up I’m taking this whole damn town with me Cuz it’s so easy To let it all go Go Better off to let it out Pedalships gone out to sea Rip it up divide it now Keep yourself, keep yourself from me You can fuck me when I’m dead Get it straight cuz the boy you loved is the girl you hate

Suck the stem of a bottle neck Crack the vent, let in the water To drown the half of the day I can’t live in Cut my tongue on a new friend Called it wrong in the end, told a story Of dial tones and the girls the love them Break the rim of a dirty glass No more taste for the dust or the hassle Of getting drunk when I can’t reach out to you Cuz of how fuckin’ hard it is I could’ve wrecked this night for you, If I had to I could’ve spoken out of turn and turned around on you Rip the edge off another pack Call me in, call off the rack If they said it once, they can say it twice for me Call me, I get called that a lot again Sorry to offend, my sensibility Came undone when the last one stopped in 4 more years of apologies hurt you hurt me, I’m getting tired of getting drunk when I can’t reach out to you saying how fuckin’ hard it is

Chew 02:12
I'm a ball of yarn I'm a word to sing I'm the common ground that never stops for anything It's a sliding crutch It's a thing to say It's a shitty lie but I'll believe it anyway "I'd rather chew my leg off than stay in this cell" These bloody waves are threatening to call my bluff and settle down I'd rather break the wall than reprise the only role you've given me Somebody lay the bedrock down or write it off for better days.

Goth Song 03:56
There's no hell hot enough to burn this smell off. There's no one left to speak to, so leave the light on.

"If you're not wide awake then I don't want to hear you, I don't want to see you." Together we're right for different times And together we'll wrap our bones up tight And together there's life, there's lift, there's light And together we'll both get through the night If you go there, will you stay there? You know I'm so afraid of you.

about

In the early 90's, Megan Jasper lied to a New York Times reporter and got him to believe that "Harsh Realm" was grunge kid speak for "bummer," among other ridiculous things. In the year of our lord 2020, Noiseland seeks to embody that same spirit of mischievous contempt for boomer culture by releasing this, an EP of very-much-not-grunge songs that insist the exact same thing.

If, however, you want to believe it's a concept album about the short-lived Chris Carter TV show of the same name, we won't dare stop you. Frankly, the clues are all there.

We are Noiseland, and this is our second EP. Perhaps we'll make an album. Who knows? Not me!
