Think a cross between Death Cab for Cutie and LCD Soundsystem and you land pretty near to this new releases from Welcome Center. This number has expressive vocals, rocking drums and synth elements. Dig that plucky bassline and Jesse Smiths’ voice riding high over it. Welcome Center is Jesse Smith and Aaron Sternick.
Influenced by the like of Depeche Mode, Gang of Four and The XX Wazu is set to release their full length entitled, “Robobo” this October 31st.
Wazu – Councillor
Lyrics: COUNCILLOR
I sat beauty on my knee,
She’d disappointed me
So I told her how to be
That she’d insulted me
Magistrate you’re stained you’re stained
Emperor you’re stained you’re stained
Take your time,
Make sure it’s all that you can find.
Carve a line
And get on the right side
Something got a hold of me
A greater force than me
I told her then and there we’ll be
A pair indefinitely
Bend the line
Make sure it’s harder to define
Compromise
Gets you on the right side
Magistrate you’re stained you’re stained
Emperor you’re stained you’re stained
Councillor you’re stained you’re stained
A bit twisted, but that’s what makes this track unique with it’s spoken word harmonies that are slightly off pitch set off by a dirty backbeat.
