about
“My Tribe was written at the very beginning of the pandemic when none of us knew what the fuck was going on. It got me thinking about survival and protecting my family from the unknown. There’s reference to primal activities in contrast to the mundane activities taken up to pass time during isolation.” - Michael Webster
lyrics
MY TRIBE
Hold it steady, holding hands, we stay together all day and all night.
Feel pathetic, feel protected, feel much better when we’re all here, all the time.
Paint by numbers to find the colour way, on the road to nowhere in no time.
Disconnected, tracking scent we keep our gut to the first floor floor.
Hear the rumble to keep my enemies far away from reaching my tribe.
Raising spirits, strength from animals, keep the sickness on the outside.
Centre of my universe is sectioned off.
Keep them occupied, lock them all inside.
My Tribe.
Isolated, in atari, turning inside out.
All traditions are transitioning from a bug into a pupi.
I’m connected to a palindrome, she blows colours into the sky.
Raining terracotta pots, we’re taking cover under his eye.
Centre of my universe is sectioned off.
Keep them occupied, lock them all inside.

Layering guitars and saxes over synths and drum machines, this Oakland duo's darkwave is as melodically potent as it is texturally rich. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 1, 2024
The French group Catalogue excel at the classic sound of ’70s post-punk, with razor-sharp guitars and stern, dead-eyed vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 5, 2023
