The days are longer than the years
No roses growing way down here
They came and tried to see
Life at 800 degrees
But the cameras melt
The god of love cheers
The days are longer than the years
No songbirds singing way down here
It all goes up in flames
This is place it's just not the same
But the cameras melt
The god of love cheers

Thursday turns to Friday
And the Highway turns to sky
Cousin Amy drives a truck now
June turns to July
It’s all speeding up now
It's all flying by
Eating breakfast at the truckstop
And the heartlands in decline
Victor’s back in Georgia
With kids in plague times
It's a business amputation
Working 9 to 9 to 9
It’s all speeding up now
It's all flying by
This year turns to next year
Time ain’t on our side
But they’re never amputated
True love in plague times
It’s all speeding up now
It's all flying by

We are maps of the night sky
A freckled path you and I
With all the stars on our arms
To know where we are
We are
New Constellations
We are maps growing new stars
'til nothing out there feels far
And on our faces we show
The places we know
We know
New Constellations

You know the sun won't care if you fall in love
And the void still stares if you fall in love
And the blood still boils if you fall in love
And the blood still spills if you fall in love
But you know you will you know you will you know you will you know you will tonight

You know the sun won't care if you fall in love
And the void still stares if you fall in love
And the blood still boils if you fall in love
Yeah the blood still spills if you fall in love
But you know you will you know you will you know you will you know you will tonight
You know the bones still break if you fall in love
And the days still ache if you fall in love
And the tides still rise if you fall in love
And the years still fly if you fall in love
But you know you will you know you will you know you will you know you will tonight
You know the time might bend if you fall in love
'til the start meets the end if you fall in love
But the sky still falls if you fall in love
And the void still calls if you fall in love
But you know you will you know you will you know you will you know you will tonight

They told you to wait it out
Hold hands and watch the skies
They flew away
And now you're counting down the days
Together you wait it out
Yeah Phoenix is just ok
You do the job
You haunt the content of the gods
Singing we know how to be alone now
We know how to be alone now
We know how to be alone now
Now
So now you just wait it out
And it's been a long long time
In the age of posts
You haunt the content of the ghosts
Singing we know how to be alone now
We know how to be alone now
We know how to be alone now
Now
And now you just wait it out
Masters of passing time
This place has changed
But every day here feels the same
And if you still wait it out
Play cards and watch for signs
There comes a day
To ask forever for a raise
Singing we know how to be alone now
We know how to be alone now
We know how to be alone now
Now

They had a secret wedding
They had a secret plan
The stars stretched out before them
The void would understand
And they could float together
And if they had the chance
Steal the first dance
The rules they think they matter
They have no hearts to break
They have no dreams to shatter
No nightmares they can't shake
But Jan can float above it
And look out at the lights
And steal the first dance tonight
Down there they fight like animals
They fight like old friends
They’ll tear eachother limb from limb
They’ll try to bring you down again
Up here’s above it
And way beyond
And if they had the chance
They’d steal the first dance
They had a secret wedding
They had a secret plan
The stars stretched out before them
The void would understand
And they could float together
And if they had the chance
Steal the first dance

It's our mirror world
So strange to us
Our mirror world
Rearranging us
But if you shine that light too bright it'll blind you back
It's our mirror world
Makes no sense to us
Our sister world
Reinventing us
But if you shine that light too bright it'll blind you back
Yeah if you shine that light too bright it'll blind you back
There ain’t no roses here
It's not like they say
We’re all still dancing here
Bent into new shapes
(first verse plays backwards)

Well we picked up every joke
Because we thought we'd need ‘em later
And we brought them to the house
‘cause we thought we'd need ‘em later
We piled them to the ceiling
‘cause we thought we'd need ‘em later
Yeah we stacked them up so high
‘cause we thought we'd need ‘em later
And when the wind shakes the walls
it feels like nothing at all
When the wind shakes the walls
it feels like nothing at all
When the wind shakes the walls
it feels like nothing at all
To us
Well we filled our lungs with songs
‘cause we thought we'd need ‘em later
And we brought them to the house
‘cause we thought we'd need ‘em later
We shouted them out loud
‘cause we thought we'd need ‘em later
Let 'em echo all around
‘cause we thought we'd need ‘em later
Now when the wind shakes the walls
It feels like nothing at all
When the wind shakes the walls
It feels like nothing at all
When the wind shakes the walls
It feels like nothing at all
To us

Upper Wilds Brooklyn, New York
Dan Friel (Parts & Labor, etc) - Guitar/Vox, Jason Binnick - Bass/Vox, Jeff Ottenbacher - Drums.
If you like Upper Wilds, you may also like:
supported by 38 fans who also own “Venus”
A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!!

Hunger for a Way Out
by Sweeping Promises

This album feels eternal, simultaneously feeling like it belongs anywhere and everywhere between the late '70s and today, effortlessly jumping between Devo-esque new wave and '90s indie rock with perfect results. Every single track whips ass. 10/10 AOTY.

Sparkling synthpop with an emphasis on high-wattage chords and the kind of melodies that burrow themselves deep in the brain.
