about

In this blizzardy blustery January, we’d like to invite you to take a second to imagine the warmth of the summer sun, the revitalizing power of diving head first into the water and sand that somehow gets stuck in your buttcrack for days. Here’s a full band, home studio take on “Beach Factory”. Don’t be like Fred!

lyrics

Fred works the factory
Down by the golden beach
Where the smokey smog gets made

the Children splash and play
Fred watches everyday
He brings his swim trunks just in case

the forecast calls for rain
the kind that boils skin
those new umbrellas do the trick

ignorant bliss or
innocent wish
a conflict of disinterest
either way we’ll all
dive into a rising tide
its just a matter of time

so lets ride on down to the beach factory

The building blows next week
Spewing grime across the beach
fred had a months worth of sick days

There's no beaches anymore
or sandcastles on the shore
just waste replacing sacred space

oh yeah we’ll all dive into a rising tide
its just a matter of time

so lets ride on down to the beach factory
the weather couldn’t be better
do you believe this heat, it gets me every time

you melt like a snowcone slushy in the street
or freeze like a planet with people underneath

One mans pleasure could be another mans pain
A day of loss could be a life of gain
An open book can have a torn out page
Some dogs like running free
Some like a comfy cage

so lets ride on down to the beach factory
the weather couldn’t be better
do you believe this heat, it gets me every time

you melt like a snowcone soggy in the street
or freeze like a planet with people underneath
flight like an instinct to comfort and safety
fight like the corners not where you’re meant to be
so Pick any poison From off the shelf
One mans meds make another mans wealth
fred saw a mirage of a sea that was serene

so lets go down….down to the beach

The band is influenced by the songwriting and studio experimentation of 90's and 2000's innovative Alternative/Indie rock bands like Wilco, My Morning Jacket, The Flaming Lips, Ween, Yo La Tengo, Pavement, and Dr. Dog, and fuses it with genre-bending, progressive musicality, and exploratory improvisations in the vein of The Grateful Dead, Phish, and Umphrey's McGee. ... more
