Come on love, Help me put the sandbags out Come on love, Help me put the sandbags out And should the blood and liars end we'll still be friends, don't you know And when the flood and fire comes we'll still be here, right now Come on love, help me put the sandbags out Come on love, help me put the sandbags out And when the sun is burning us through atmosphere, don't you know And if the seas our garbage dump we'll never know, don't you know And when the flood and fire comes we'll still be here, don't you know And should the blood and liars end we'll still be friends, like now

Hey Joy Knight are you feeling alright Cause the things you write ain't alright right? If the weathers no pleasure and the danger is measured Lie down on your feathered bed with tannins for pleasure And Ray Darby seems like quite the little harpy Darkly dissing dirt and other malarky If prison's a party then you're on safari Beef jerky, welsh corgis communist party So Craig Wells I know racism sells And when Boris fell you felt unwell If a rapper can scarper your Cambridge endeavour Express your outrage in the papers forever And Martin Smith needs misogynistic thrift Fought with a wordsmith ruined his myth If a snipers a woman then choirs of vipers Admirer of ciphers slays tigers in diapers Why do you write these things? No really, why do you write them? Well Martin Staples is reading Aesops Fables If he thinks radiation will turn the tables In a sample of cases it's fatal to angels So stable nostalgia and cradle your labels Why would you write these things? No really, why do you write them?

Rodger is at his wits end The residential property market is tanking fast And his clients hunger requires placating This was all preordained His ancestors, either noble firemen Or the ones who started the fires He could never remember Knew a thing or two about Pulling yourself up by the bootstraps Or was that pulling the ladder up after them And one day Pigs may fly On the other side of town Sione is 200 metres into his 6k walk home It's been days since he's tasted fresh fruit But the modern argument is that The job requires sacrifices Apparently But the kids are fucking good value You can't beat living vicariously through someone Well you can but that's not the done thing these days Of course if AFFCO paid a living wage This would all be fucking moot And one day Pigs may fly Even John Campell Says This Isn't Bloody Marvelous

We're not keen on the anthropocene, You hominid always ruin the scene, We change slow it's part of the fun, No point in chasing the sun. And he'll chase the sun, Moving on from shady spots. We've been fine for an eon of time, But just living now feels like a crime, What comes can't be undone, And you're fine with spoiling our fun. And he'll chase the sun, Moving on from shady spots. Now they've got it they don't know what to do with it, Chase the sun.

about

Abstract:
This EP, "Considered an Unvarnished Truth by Otters", aims to examine four (4) main relationships. The first section, "Sandbags", focuses on the contextual relationship between anthropomorphic climate change and social structuring. The analogy of the "flood and fire" as dual forces presenting catastrophe from extremes much like outliers in social structures. "I'm 72..." (shortened) places focus on legacy media and extreme, or nonsensical, views being given authority. This section seeks to question not only why these views would be voiced, but why they are given prominence and perhaps why this author would choose to critique such nonsense (or in such a way). Media power remains a focus in "Even John Campbell..." (shortened) where a class based ethnography is deployed to examine contrasting, yet similar, experiences within current socio-economic spaces under late stage capitalism. Invocation of journalistic habitus serves to ground the dual critiques and John Campbell serves as a point of atavistic fetishism. Closing this EP "Chase the Sun" posits a different perspective on relationships by assuming the situated subjectivity of "Mono" the house cat. This critique of "hominid" relationships with the environment comes from a similar location as Haraway with her "Companion Species Manifesto". This act of refocusing draws the EP full circle in its critical attention adding to the chance that you, the listener, may press play from the start again.
