    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Truly two sides to every story with this one.

    10 original punk songs recorded via contributions from all over the globe, produced and arranged by Jay Whalley and Clem Bennett at The Pet Food Factory. From the mentally questionable mind of Matt Downey (Cousin Betty, Death Mattel).

    The alternate side is the same 10 songs reimagined as pristine Jazz. Courtesy of the master-level skills of Andrew Scott (The Pocket Trio) the songs are recognisable but disparately brilliant.

    Includes download code.

    Tracklist:

    1. I Did a Thing
    2. Dear Jurisprudence
    3. Ten Hut!
    4. Hate Will Own You
    5. Goodies and Baddies
    6. Is There a German Expression For This?
    7. Everything Is Fine
    8. You Get To Be 50
    9. E-Racing
    10. Worth

lyrics

This is an astronomic explosion this some pond scum doing well
This is the quest for more, the spring of awe, the emergence from the shell
This is a system built on basic need this is the enough to go around
This is largest living things destroyed but tiny things abound
This is a monkey standing upright learning to grip a knife and fork
This is cigarettes and suffragettes and jesters holding court
Here is the church and here is the steeple
Open the doors and here’s the mentally feeble
who’s race to extinction is enjoying a head start
This is protest songs making millionaires this is those millions buying arms
This is a general state of stress borne deaths over how to do less harm
We’re centre stage for our own implosion, Lying face down in the wishing well
We’ve prayed to gods and connected dots and bought in to the buy and sell (sell, sell, sell?)

Ignorance is a slaughterhouse bliss
the special race to cease and desist
I’m not sure that this is a bad thing
If I can’t have it you can’t either
lets fuck the air and then all take a breather
it’s a race to extinction and I know the short cut
Ignorance is a slaughterhouse bliss the special race to cease and desist
I’m not sure that we don’t deserve the worst, for all our firsts, all our unquenchable thirsts
It’s race to extinction and I know a short cut

LITTER image

LITTER Sydney, Australia

Originally formed in 2014 for a period of 1 month of shows, reformed with a new line-up and new album in 2022. This unique punk band is the brainchild of Matt Downey (Cousin Betty/Death Mattel). The new album is a two-sided exploration of cross genres, an effort to see if content is universal or exclusive to a particular tribe. ... more
