Futures feel ungrown They feel ungrown Stifle any single tone Any single tone Phone calls make us feel alone Make us feel alone Old men oh they fear and groan They fear and moan The fakest fate of our own now Comforts us to hone The droning fade of a tone now The droning fade of a tone Watches broken I broke I crashed and I broke Single ticks like bike spokes Spin spin the bike spoke Spinning wild my last spoke- N word that I spoke Time passes until we croak Time will pass and I'll croak

The African child Keen on rock wild Amazes me The African soul Loves rock and roll Sound and free Though sometimes What's on his mind Is something that you can't see Walking on the wire Lighting trees on fire And adventures how he lives How he lives Here in Taizhou We all know He swims past the water monkeys Dongcheng River Guitar string sliver Astounds me Fire hydrants clank KFC is dank And baijiu breeds wrestling Breeds wrestling

It Was I 02:59
My traveling companions are ghosts and empty sockets I'm looking at ghosts and empties i have reason to believe We all will be received in Graceland I may be obliged to defend Every love and every ending But maybe there's no obligation I have reason to believe We all will be received in Graceland He said it was not It it was i If i was not there to be there with what I did then what I did nothing but was in other words if no one knew me Actually the nothings I did would not be what they were My traveling companion's nine years old He is the child of my first marriage For reasons I cannot explain There's some part of me that wants to see Graceland

Aphasia 05:38
Why are you so lonely Lonesome valley droning Aphasia No one hears her moaning Lonesome valley droning Aphasia They spoke Of broken madness Ideas that aren't glad They spoke Of empty meadows Ideas that aren't bad They spoke of you Why are you so lonely Lonesome valley droning Aphasia No one hears her moaning Lonesome valley droning Aphasia You spoke Of lonesome rivers Drifting words you say You spoke Of weeping willows Singing branches sway You spoke of you I can't pick you up To say your name is a memory game That you can't win for the life of you Somatically there but you're gone

Slad 03:18
Charlie can here me From under the bathroom Chard's indicating All that we feared Strapped to a chair Pour me some coffee please Taking a picture Phone to a sunset Lifting the lens Between you and the sky To show your friends What are they missing now I might as well just relive it online Can you believe it's you Things happen to I can remember the days of the landline People they called and they meant what they said "Im on my way" "I changed my mind" Charlie can here me From under the bathroom Chard's indicating All that we feared Strapped to a chair Pour me some coffee please I might as well just relive it online Can you believe it's you Things happen to

It's time to fade away And it's rude This feeling blue And it's all up to you And the things you do No one's here to stay And it's rued Your attitude Does not improve The things you do It's time to fade away And it's true Your attitude It does not soothe Your chip of tooth No one's here to stay There's a slew Of things to do To transmute To move to move

Out of Doors 04:30
I tend to make things harder than they are Seems so close but it's taken way too far Carry me carry me carry me Find a way on to a rooftop space One more look and I can leave this place Carry me carry me carry me Step on the gas make it my past / I made a song for you all The garden inside is out of doors / From what I feel from my window How many windows trace my time / I'm coming down from my tower Once in a while to check my time / Amid the garbage and flowers How many windows trace my time / In wide water sits my crimes

about

Formed in Shenzhen over a year ago, Pokemon Dad's members were forged in indie rock scenes from all corners of the U.S. Importing the underground basement scene aesthetic to the orient, their music dabbles between dynamic syncopation of trippy mathematical rhythms, with emotionally evocative, nostalgic melodies. Pokemon Dad has been exploring the ethereal auditory landscapes of the accessibly odd. Whether it be struggling to accept the new norms and implications of a digital era, a grandmother who loses her ability to communicate, or a South African friend who's baijiu infused blood causes him to swim in toxic environments, Pokemon Dad's songs are lyrically rich with darkly comical statements about the human condition.

Pokemon Dad (宠物小精灵爸爸)创始于一年前,深圳。它是一只不拘一格的乐队,以后摇滚,数学摇滚,和迷幻摇滚为主要风格(Kevin Daniel Pinner - 鼓手; John Howland - 贝司;Paul Wade - 主唱和吉他;Greg Merrell - 主唱和吉他)他们从美国西雅图,澳四顶,塔拉哈西,和波士顿带了独立摇滚原味。他们的每首歌唯一的共同点就是能够带起听者high得要命。 玩儿着迷幻数学的韵律切分音,弹起怀旧情绪的旋律,Pokemon Dad 探索熟悉而奇特的空灵听觉领域。无论是一位难于接受新一代的数字化音乐的人,一位失去了沟通能力老奶奶,还是一个不幸因白酒沁入血液,酒精中毒而迫使他到有毒环境中游泳的南非朋友,Pokemon Dad的歌曲富含了不同的寓意,并总带着点儿黑色幽默,反应着人们不同的生活常态。
