about

First new Country Westerns' song since their 2020 S/T debut, which Pitchfork included in their Top 35 Rock Albums of 2020 list.
Country Westerns are a three-piece band with a two-man engine: Joseph Plunket is an Atlanta hardcore kid turned singer-songwriter whose first solo gig was opening for Cat Power. He went on to lead Brooklyn alt-country legends The Weight during the height of NYCs mid-00’s garage rock bonanza and played bass for King Tuff and Gentleman Jesse. Brian Kotzur is a swaggery metronome who drummed for Silver Jews and was a close collaborator of David Berman.

lyrics

Some money on the table is gone
Gamblers only love losing
Somebody left then you came along
I’m your sidekick if you choose it
I could use a secret that’s how I keep it between the lines
I don’t need a good time
Just between you and I
Caught In between a con and a scheme
What you gonna tell but a lie
Cruel thing we used to be sweet
Now we’re too sour for lime
I could use a secret that’s how I keep it between the lines
I don’t need a good time
Just between you and I
Cool tunes, average food
They left me just below the lights
You’re a fool if you think I can move
And what the hell gives you the right
I made straight time
Right to where I’m headed alright
I left the bandstand one too many times tonight
Chorus

about

Country Westerns Nashville, Tennessee

Work harder, not smarter: classically bad advice, but when it works, it works. Country Westerns are a force, punk rock lifers playing rock music with hearted-sleeves and punched-guts. Loud and furious but with a nuance that belies their delicate and varied pedigrees. ... more
