about

Polly approached me with some lofi, reverb soaked vocals she pulled from an old computer she no longer had access to and asked me; "Can we make a song out of this?"

Telling a story from her time in Portugal, I immediately feel in love with them and the rhythmic way in which she sang them. I responded to her question with one of my own; "How could we not?

We tried to re-record the vocals in a proper studio setting (and not off the microphone from her old laptop) but couldn't capture the magic of the original vocal tracks. (Shout out To Deadpan Studios and YONI for both trying to help us). They had a certain je ne sais quoi we couldn't replicate.

In the mind set of less polish, more dirt, Polly Kultur and I present to you "Tonight I Won't"

lyrics

Sips for 1.50
Match the cost
Here in the unknown
And I'm lost
Waiting for a girl
In black and white
First time to meet her
Tonight

Sparkling lamps
And everyone smokes
And now I want to find myself a toke
Cobblestone
Plants that change minds
Refusing the whistles
That call from behind

9 minute walk to speak my first word
Slippery step
Maybe I'll be heard

Meringue ceiling
Grape headspin
Tonight I won't tell him a thing

2 red lamps
2 black shoes
A table
And a coffee
Ive never been happier with my hands
Here I am

Light the candle
Buy the bread
On the street corner
On the street corner

Walk the cobblestone
Walk the tiled floor
Ruins of what
Came before

Well what came first
What came last
What's in the middle
Everyone asks
It's the unknown
Baby, it's the unknown

Clock clicks twice
Then stands still
Brushin ashes off my window sill
If I could find a phone
If I could find her number
Who knows maybe I would find her

Tonight I won't tell him a thing.
