about
The product of their recording efforts comes in the form of ‘No Vacancy Hotel’ their four-track debut EP due for release February 11th. Each track is a standalone single in it’s own right, resulting in an all killer, no filler affair.
Throughout the course of the EP, listeners are taken on a journey through a collection of stories, each as lyrically visceral as the next. Dripping with Krooked Tongue’s signature swagger, the EP in its entirety is a brazen example of the band’s new musical direction and what’s to come; Bursting with walls of distorted grunge-fuelled riffs, aggressive basslines, tight, punchy drums and Rainsford’s sinister, crooning vocals.
Speaking about the EP, vocalist and lyricist Oli Rainsford states: “I think this EP signifies a new era for us, even despite us being a new band. The newer songs somehow seem to reflect our identity as we’ve become more accustomed to finding our sound. It’s the spark in the long awaited ignition of us as we are now, a more hard hitting version of ourselves.
“It’s a collection of stories and experiences that are there to be absorbed by the listener and to provide some escapism from this crazy world for a few minutes. The songs have been tested so many times live now that we’ve been dying to capture their essence and give the people something to take home with them and keep forever. This is just the start of the archive.”
lyrics
Dead end, jobs alike, feel the cost of living squeeze the essence of your life, your wife
He found the urge, paper ad, looking for attendance, dressing up in drag, he hides
You come for me when I run
pass the youth of eternal sun
Slip of the serpents tongue
goes bang bang bang
Down boy, you got the vision of a magpie
Go to war, you fill my head like a worm child
No more, Vacancy here, why do you care when the kids are alive
Motel, delirium, steel jacket anti depressant, theres a lesson
Mysterious stranger, told you you were special, formed a presence in your mouth, no doubt
you come for me when I’m run
pass the youth of eternal sun
slip of the serpents tongue
Goes bang bang bang
Down boy, you got the vision of a magpie
Go to war, you fill my head like a worm child
No more, Vacancy here, why do you care when the kids are alive
Hold on to your doubts, let them fall away
Down boy, you got the vision of a magpie
Go to war, you fill my head like a worm child
No more, Vacancy here, why do you care when the kids are alive
