Waves 02:16
I can see fine from under the sheen / It gets blocked out by style / try pass in between I’m keeping my head off / Hope that’s enough ~I can still see fine from here / I can still see fine; never better~ I can still see fine from under the sheen They come in as waves / we pass in between we pass in between / we pass We’re keeping our heads off / hope that’s enough They come in as waves / pass by pristine / kept out of my sheen Get out of my sheen We’re keeping our heads off - it’s not enough We see through you / We see through you I see through you / I see through

VL 01:07
Honestly, honestly, honestly, fuck your scene! ‘aw I had no idea’ All the same! Fucking rage! Refresh on boring / same shitty story All the good are gone / rip up the tab and play a pawn! All to blame! Endless praise! See eyes shut tight / virtual lynch on site No good gear left to clear the board

Hell of a yeah / how long have you waited for Such a title / deserving disciples Don’t worry, John Lennon hates your band If it helps, so does everyone else Flush to the membrane / almost skin on skin View through those glasses / see everything 5 stars Tell me I’m not dreaming / or not the only one Old metaphor, such a bore; I remember my first toke Don’t worry, John Lennon hates your band If it helps, so does everyone else That’s enough / you’ve had your fun If it helps, so has everyone else

Sell Selfish 03:20
~Can’t see no other way / possibilities neverending Only your opinion matters / can’t see no other way~ Can’t see no other way, egocentric formula Thoughts flow through your head / glide right by windows Senses dull from sight / hypocrisy smells less sweet Multiple degrees of ignorance, qualified to tough wrong opinions Apparent through uncommon seasons, (whether or not) the weathers getting to you But you know everyone's in the same boat; better get in and row or best get to fuck The water’s now boiling / Everyone into the water I’ve been here as it began, Starting to tinge the skin Your mother raised you better I’ll scream in 2028; I don’t have the blood for it anymore Oh what broad shoulders you have - Shame about everything in between Only your opinion matters / Only your opinion matters Only your opinion matters / That’s all that matters That’s all that matters
5.
Old Currency 03:24
~This joke is growing old~ This joke is growing old / temptation to avoid being a bore Guess you’ve never been told Still it wears thin, hardly conceived from intelligence A hierarchy I don’t want a place in Everyones traded it, hard pill to accept / In old currency No one holds any change / Just photos from a time you’d rather still be living Thinly on it wears, annual time to prepare / for removal season, a tree I’d rather not have roots in Everyones traded it, hard pill to accept / In old currency No one holds any change / Just photos from a time you’d rather still be living Anyone can move from it / be willing to accept / in old currency We all hold the change, even just a pocketful of where we ought to be Nobody speaks of it, given the time to reflect - we need new money
6.
We’re all back here again / faced with cyclical trends still tough to shed Hard to find; a place to hide it Time for another go / still reeling from the last round of rows We’ll figure it out / Try us Don’t tell me what I can’t do (infinite)

'Waves' music video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sjux_PZq64g

'Hell of a Yeah' music video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsVPa223GhQ

Moni Jitchell’s live set-up is stark. Twelve strings. Two amps. Two people. One mic.

You can’t imagine that band producing the sound on UNREAL. Maybe that’s why the cover art shows Grant Donaldson (vocals) and David Scott (12-string guitar) surrounded by paper bag clones – ghost members to fill out the sound behind them.

UNREAL is released on Friday 26 May on limited edition vinyl through Makeshift Swahili Records. The artwork was created in collaboration with Glasgow-based artist Sean Patrick Campbell and graphic designer Mitchell F Gillies, positioning the band as an anonymous cell, with additional members wearing screen-printed masks of Donaldson and Scott.

UNREAL will be supported by touring across the UK, including shows in Manchester, Bristol, Sheffield, Edinburgh, and a hometown show to end the tour at Glasgow’s Old Hairdressers on Friday 30 June, followed by a performance at the inaugural CORE Festival in Glasgow on 19 August 2023.
