A shocking transfer in Beijing and 26 hours later were Turncoat standing there with open arms they drove us through giant skyscrapers straight to the first show, we watched their set our minds collectively blown So what if the vegan dish in an “indian” is really steak? So what if you realize that the shrines are mostly fake? I had never been so confused, those 10 days lost in translation I went for a walk nothing to lose I found myself in a fireman’s station but I promise we’ll be back next year not later KANPAI! Japanese Mascis welcomed us in a city that I don’t remember I turned my head for a moment and he had passed out A guy from Kyoto came backstage and gave us an avocado then what he said it almost made us cry So what if Fon had a shitty night on stage cause (of) the gear? So what if we slept on a tatami soaking with beer? I had never been so confused, those 10 days lost in translation I went for a walk nothing to lose I found myself in a fireman’s station but I promise we’ll be back next year not later Kazu, quite frankly, we’re tired and cranky but we wanna explore more record stores I had never been so confused, those 10 days lost in translation I went for a walk nothing to lose I found myself in a fireman’s station but I promise we’ll be back next year not later KANPAI!

Delete your profile photograph then you turn invisible This year my phone went smart to dumb now I don’t hear from no one anymore Dating was tough but kind of fun when we were young, tonight you’re only 3 matches away The kids they do change I’m not saying it’s their fault A life in Hi-Def Now science-fiction is not fiction at all It really scares me like a Black Mirror episode Our lifes are up for sale Now science-fiction is really not fiction at all And as I ride my bike through town CCTV is filming me I know I ain’t no movie star but there is no privacy anymore My mom she didn’t have a clue when we were young, tonight you can’t be late back home The kids they do change I’m not saying it’s their fault A life in Hi-Def Now science-fiction is not fiction at all It really scares me like a Black Mirror episode Our lifes are up for sale Now science-fiction is really not fiction at all We spent our time in the arcade, our second home back in sixth grade, playing Tetris, Double Dragon but Street Fighter was our favourite one We spent our time in the arcade, when I feel down I miss those games Golden Axe, Pang, Bubble Bobble but Street Fighter was our favourite one It really scares me like a Black Mirror episode Our lifes are up for sale Now science-fiction is really not fiction at all

2005 hearing voices that screamed: “kid you’re looking depressed”, this one’s not about me 
It’s about a girl on the coast at the age of sixteen, feeling shameful and somewhat confused: 
One night after a party waiting for a cab, 3 girls pulled up next to me I thought it was rad, I was supposed to get home later I don’t know how but we drove off nothing to lose

 Yesterday’s fear has passed 
today’s here,
 now I see no gender
 only joy 

After that morning the days passed quite slow I was hanging up posters for a shitty show On the street where she worked and I hung out in hope of seeing her sometime soon 
I had some doubts about telling my Mum and I found myself hiding it from my closest ones Even when they found out I didn’t kiss her when about
 I was just interrupting myself 
Yesterday’s fear has passed 
today’s here,
 now I see no gender 
only love Years tumble down now I shout it out loud There’s just one flag of which I’m proud They fill their mouths with “normality”, but I’m not sure of what that really means Years tumble down now I shout it out loud 2018, I still don’t get why you can still be judged on who you wanna fuck

 Yesterday’s fear has passed 
today’s here,
 now I see no gender
 only joy
 now I see no gender
 only love

One night to break the rules, a new year to play the fools let's dance through dawn in the middle of nowhere My mate Hans doesn't drink, he never slept a wink, downstairs the speakers were screaming in harmony Shake up everyone else 'cause we're on fire and if he tried James couldn't get no higher This may have no end, we really should go now Let's go and cut some tunes, where we can see the moon We'll roast up peppers and weird kind of onions Shake up everyone else 'cause we're on fire and if he tried Santi couldn't get higher This may have no end, we really should go now A true squat in Belgrade, my birthday in Vevey Hungover driving the van to La Spezia Shake up everyone else 'cause we're on fire and even the poor dogs couldn't get higher This may have no end, we really should go now A flat in Sant Feliu, familiar Winter views All this and more you may find in my memory

I stumbled out of bed this morning As I went to light up my first smoke Another phoney obituary Another loaded star just gone away You know I wake up kind of grumpy But the social media blocked my phone The same old posts with empty RIPs The same old live fast and die young We all have our heroes someone who inspired us In life they were zeros
 or they sold platinum
 You can fall on indifference, 
they’ll put you to bed but don’t worry, it’s alright, 
they’ll all love you when you’re dead Today at breakfast the same story, this one really shook me to the core They were never popular on MTV but we still cover my favorite song

Never forget 02:50
I remember you telling me all would be ok but at the time I couldn’t really understand Now I’ve grown older I realise we’all make mistakes and I forgive you for that time you let me down And I will never forget driving the car 
when you bought me my first guitar
 and the day my father taught me my first chords

 You know when you’re a kid no fear of aging 
now you see your roles are changing
 now your best friends are responsabilities 
but we still chase our dreams 
we still chase our dreams
 we don’t forget our dreams 

I remember you telling me I would learn one day 
but in my teens I didn’t want to understand
 Now I stand tall but still get lost inside this haze 
but lately it’s me you come to when you need a hand

 And I will never forget, age 12 embarrased
 and my first school trip to Paris
 you made the effort despite being broke cause the house

 You know when you’re a kid no fear of aging 
now you see your roles are changing
 now your best friends are responsabilities 
but we still chase our dreams 
we still chase our dreams
 we don’t forget our dreams 
I didn’t see it approaching but the time has finally come
 now I see myself for hours on the phone 
I never thought I’d be your tissue, dishing out advice
 you know you still rock!

 And I will never forget those summer campsites 
playing gymkhana until midnight
 and every birthday my mum would make me the same cake You know when you’re a kid no fear of aging 
now you see your roles are changing
 now your best friends are responsabilities 
but we still chase our dreams 
we still chase our dreams
 we don’t forget our dreams

Say goodbye, make it quick last night I made myself sick as your van leaves, see you in dreams The next day back to work consoled by the band we said we'd form even if it never happens I feel I'm choking on this town but when next summer comes around we'll see ourselves on stages and I hope it will be for ages then we'll go back home to our minimum wages My dear folks don't get it they ask me if it's worthwhile when I'm not on tour I feel I'm wasting my time It's kind of weird but I miss more Fon snoring sleeping on the floor waking him up will never happen I feel I'm choking on this town but when next summer comes around we'll see ourselves on stages and I hope it will be for ages then we'll go back home to our minimum wages And when this all is said and done we're still a minority of one Say hello sad routine now I sit here gazing at the screen I'll see you on brighter days play that record that says: "Some friends are forever"

I found myself with no teeth
 Manson was feeding me
 then he turned me into Coal 
I've got a pocket full of fears but when I twist with them it’s ok 

My dog he loves flying
 as high as Mcfly did
 He disappeared with Biff
 I've got a pocket full of fears but when I sleep with them it’s ok

 
I don't want to fall into, 
I don't want to see life from upside down 
when I'm sleeping in through, if you see me in there please pull me out

 My fav band plays their song 
I get up to play along
 I don't know a single note
 I have a pocket full of fears but when I sing to them it’s ok

 
I don't want to fall into, 
I don't want to see life from upside down 
when I'm sleeping in through, if you see me in there please pull me out

 A place I've never fit into, say goodbye darkness my old friend
 but I just may see you, may see you sometime next weekend

 And everytime I think I've seen the back of it, reality grabs me by the arm

Connection 02:37
My friend's father inspired this song when his furry soulmate died, 
after 11 summers spent together 

It did really pierce his heart, 
he said "it feels like I’ve lost a son"
 and the saddest words always come with a tear 
I can't get you connect so deeply with an animal 
then you don't want to hear what you consume 
It may upset you to find out the whole truth of this trade 
you never gave a second chance to what I tried to say 

For sure you can relate to me it’s no single case, it’s something 
we’ve been fed since elementary Five same old stupid words that fail
 The sound of nails on a chalkboard
 I feel I'm screaming at a wall 
I can't get you connect so deeply with an animal 
then you don't want to hear what you consume 
It may upset you to find out the whole truth of this trade 
you never gave a second chance to what I tried to say 

I feel sad and irate at the same time, when i have 
to deal with other people's narrow views, 
it's hard to assume they'll never make the connection 

All those forces use resources, we’re just numbers lost in slumber All those forces fueled by gold, who push you back into a deep sleep, I don't care I won't be silent He remembered in the dark, they were playing in the park, she was always by his side, unlike us they never lie and from the day he got divorced she changed his once supposed course of life, 11 years they were each other shadow Time rolled over they were lying on the sofa with a toy between her teeth she cured him of his grief and the day she lost a chunk of ear his body was possessed with fear 11 years they were each others shadow

This is an open letter in the form of a song
 No need to mourn for me when I’m gone
 No searching for the truth, 
quite frankly I don’t have a clue 
Don’t sell me heaven or hell,
 just give it to me straight
 It’s been a long time since I read a fairytale
 Good and evil that fight, 
in life nothing is black or White 
Don’t send me off in tears, no solemn dedication 
I prefer my loved ones gather round singing in celebration 

I’ve never been to church on my own accord 
“The Gods” placed an allergy in me,
 prayers that don’t ring true,
 you know Mum this one is for you

 
Don’t send me off in tears, no solemn dedication 
I prefer my loved ones gather round singing in celebration 

Though I know it hurts a bit, you promised me we’d never quit even when “misery pure” was said and done 
And that time we bust a tire, a fifteen minute show on fire and we’re still waiting for the summer 
Don’t send me off in tears, no solemn dedication 
I prefer my loved ones gather round singing in celebration 

I’ve always thought my friends playing their songs all night, would be a fitting way to say goodbye


about

This record was made in December 2017. We spent a couple of days at Cal Pau recording the drums and enjoying Isabel's excellent home cooking and Fermin and Carme's kind hospitality. Boss Santi roasted up these weird kind of onions (AKA Calçots) and Baby Boss Borja did the heavy lifting and rolling. Then we went to Sant Feliu de Guíxols where we did the guitars, bass and vocals at Ultramarinos. Cheers Xavi C., Oskar G., Eric F., Victor G. and Vidal S. for coming by to the studio to offer support and tell us we were making an old school heavy metal album.

Many thanks to all the fine labels involved and to our friends and families for being there during the awesome times but during the shitty times too. Up the punks!

Always grateful,
Wild Animals.
