TRAVEL
We’re getting really excited for our weekend excursion to the Midwest. We couldn’t be more grateful to Dillinger Four (the greatest band alive) for joining us on Friday night at the Triple Rock, and are amazed at our good fortune to be able to play with Lemuria and Raw Nerve, two bands we love, at a rad DIY space on Saturday. We’re aware that we haven’t been through this...

New Song
You don’t know this song, but I caught you trying to sing along. Your mouth is moving but the words are all wrong. False signifiers. Tiny liars. Crossed wires, always putting out your fires. If you don’t know now, chances are you never will. The pitcher’s full, but your plants are wilting on the windowsill. It’s clear you’ve paid your dues to the Actor’s...

GREETINGS FELLOW INSOMNIACS
No sleep. We are restless pestilence. Broken promises collect like bounced checks. Never penitent. I call it “home” where i lay my broken bones. Sticks and stones, a row of disconnected pay phones. We are contraband smuggled through the tunnels under Wonderland. You’ve been sleeping on the job, so here’s your reprimand. We are breeding, multiplying in the space between the walls. What you call...
"Start Today"
Good morning, and welcome to the New Lexicon. We’ve created this as a channel through which to share and exchange information: lyrics, thoughts, news, images, and sound. The other platforms available to us have proven too often to be limited in scope, ideal for propaganda (which sometimes suits our purposes) or idle chatter, but ultimately reductionist in nature. They do keep us from...
