860 (or die) 05:26
lyrics
if home is where the heart is, why is my heart in poughkeepsie? I mean I've never even been there if everyone is sorry for all their bullshit where's the penance for their sins? I mean I'm working my ass off and it seems it only rains here once a month and my sorry eyes are drying way too much take me back to west CT suburbs the 860 I love so when all is said and done with will I say "man I was glad to grow up here"? and "we had damn good childhoods"? remember when we lost power when we were young? and the games that we played are gone and the fort that we made in the snow the timing's wrong can we be like peter pan? we won't grow up I know I'm gonna be here forever and I don't mind cause out here not a single star shines

Baja Blasting the Pain Away 02:30
lyrics
Through tailored sheets wake me up 'cause I've got class in twenty minutes and damn I need to smoke why did i get so fucking drunk last night? i let you down and why can't i see my life behind the haze across my eyes? if smokers are jokers then I'm a fucking comedian and I let you down

Caterwauled Curse 03:20
lyrics
a caterwauled curse an exploding head the lack of the sleep that we found in your bed was haunting my vision my reverie too, a sick rash of ivy all blistered and blue. that fleet foxes chord that strikes in my head the blood on your sheets so disgustingly red dreams in your closet where did they go? help me out, darlin' you don't fucking know that tonight i just wanted to say i'm taking back all the books that i told you to read but you never did the collage of the memories i made but you threw out instead all the nights that we spent in your bed on the weekends i'm taking my life back tonight

about

Recorded March 2013 in Wethersfield, CT in Mike Cantin's (Scooter's) basement

* 860 recorded January 2013

"I wished I was someone else, and I wished it was warmer" - John Darnielle

This is our first release, and our last as this iteration of Somebody's Basement. It's important to everybody involved. For some of us, it represents our first foray into songwriting. For all of us, it represents hours spent together in a basement with friends. Bickering. Drinking Capri Suns. Making music together.

all of the members of Somebody's Basement are either about to leave for college or in their first year of college, so it is only natural that anxieties about leaving home would be prevalent in anything we wrote. This album is about hometowns and 17/18 years of memories tied to one place. Girls. Friends. Streets and intersections and routes you know by heart in the dark. Places where we were loved and were alone. Smoking. Gas station coffee before sunrise. People you used to be friends with. Holding hands with someone in the woods, and then going months without talking to them. Swingsets. January nights. Winters that could never end. Apparitions of memories that stack; good replaced by bad and replaced by good again.

We hope you enjoy it. We hope to make more music in the future, and we can only get better.
Thank you
