Amplifier is the most shallow song I ever wrote about me getting a new amp, stealing my friends tubes out of his amp, falling in love, and then recording all of the guitars on the song with a DI.
lyrics
my amp spent it's first day on its face. manipulated sonic shapes stem from a change of tubes that help the speaker emanate grooves. buzzing clear. moving particles of air and water to the side while they take liberties and i get to take waves for joyrides. a silence followed by a buzzing from the cable thats unplugged wakes you up from sleeping. pitches you picked are not worth keeping. you throw your plank across the floor, you have become dissatisfied in you, yeah you used to do more, but that spark inside you has died. mercurial mad complex. temper to reach an apex. the tone that this machine inflects beats watching nasty carwrecks. it is amplification. a cable with folded extras is picking up the radio station. lets call and ask for Heccra! mmmmm the warmth from valves on. the skittering electrons, the moving freely subatomic lacking any surface tension. an old frustration you can't move, you are held down in midair, you don't have mass to get momentum. problem solved! i smile bashfully while you take everything that my hands choose to produce and make it sweet like melon juice. my fingers twitch and it sounds like shit in any other unit. you are my newfound favorite. magnet receive. take it from me. notes with a loud buzz, twinkles and amp fuzz. taking from tubes and making it all about you. the truth is i'm glad i sold my soul for you.
Heccra is one of the most interesting artists in emo today, and his fresh take on the genre, blending elements of post-hardcore, prog/metal into it, as well as cool and weird production makes me smile aches
These guys are a huge influence on me, stylistically. Great angry vocals (shared throughout the band) enough twinkles to light the night sky, & some of the catchiest hooks ever. WATCH MY BODY DIEEEEEE aches
