Hold, hold me close.
Well I know you’re nothing but a ghost.
Don’t, don’t look back.
I said I know this ain’t the worst we’ve ever had.
Don’t know where we come from darlin’,
A place we’ve never known.
Oh baby, you said you’d never make it home.
Holding on to better days of old.
And you tell me,
You didn’t know you could let me let go.
Oh and then you don’t understand
Why I just couldn’t be your man.
Out of luck and we’re out of love.
It was cruel but it wasn’t planned.
And you don’t wanna let it be.
So now what good is it then.
Each night, we’ll hold tight and try it again.
So, so it seems
That you told me something in a dream.
Don’t know where we come from darlin’.
A place we’ll never know.
And you tell me
This is the part where you let me let go.
Rip-roaring power pop with all the deadpan wit and guitar noise of early Weezer and legitimized by the songwriting chops of Tom Petty and Elvis Costello. North by North

Lost track of these guys for a couple years, then saw the Tiny Desk concert come up in my feed. I've had the album on loop on Spotify since Friday.
This song in particular has been stuck in my head all afternoon. quiksilv26

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
