liner notes
*NEW* if you enjoy this enough to wanna give some of your moolah to the artist, it is also available at his bandcamp site on a name-your-price deal.
we now take a break from the epic-length first couple releases to bring you a single of sorts, a digital 45 rpm, as it were. we are honoured to present echo voodoo's uketronic creations "crazy person forecast" b/w "let me go outside."
the a-side is an absurdist beatlesque electro groove, replete with lyrical paranoia and lovely chord progressions. the b-side marries a beautiful melody, sung in octaves à la stephin merritt, to the chunkiest synth bass on uylf thusfar.
we invite you to sing along...
Crazy Person Forecast
The crazy person forecast calls for flurries in your area today
Beware the speeding motorist who's weaving in and out of your way
Keep an eye on the person sitting next to you as you ride the bus
They might be mumbling messages about the war between them and us
Oh
I'm feeling lost again like I'm on my own
And I don't know where to turn 'cause I'm on my own
Oh
I'm lost
The crazy person forecast calls for a storm in my head tonight
But this happens all the time and so I guess that I will be all right
Oh
I'm feeling lost again like I'm on my own
And I don't know where to turn 'cause I'm on my own
Let Me Go Outside
I don't know why we stay inside the way we do, me and you
How would it be if you and me went out to play everyday
I just want to go outside
Let me go outside
You don't know the world below the same as me; it's what I see
The world down here is full of fear but also joy, like a brand new toy
I just want to go outside
Let me go outside
So why don't you stop working and do just what you must; you know that it's just
Let's do it in style, take off for a while, go on the run and have some fun
I just want to go outside
Let me go outside
Let me go outside
Thanks to: the folks at the KVR music cafe who taught me much about making music, the folks at FAWM, and of course, Isaac Quatorze and the Up Your Legs Forever netlabel.

Lovely! Kindof like a stripped-down Beta Band.

I far prefer the b-side to the a-side! That's cool though, they're both really interesting-sounding uketronic fun.
