"It Before"
The brain is analytical. It's a computer. When we have a big problem or a situation we don't want to face, our brains run through all of their options. All of them. There's nothing abnormal or insane about that. It's when our brains start to stick on some of the extreme options that we have to start speaking up and asking for help.
On Lost Boy ?'s latest single, "It Before," Davey Jones sings about contemplating the most drastic of solutions over wildly chugging guitar, drums, and the sax of Preservation Hall Jazz Band's Ben Jaffe. The song displays Lost Boy ?'s signature left-field approach to garage pop; and it's probably the catchiest, most upbeat and danceable song about suicide you're likely to hear. Actually, scratch that last part. It's one of the catchiest most danceable tracks you're likely to hear regardless of subject matter.
"It Before" is the second single from Lost Boy ?'s upcoming Goose Wazoo; and, like the title track released last week, it comes with a lyric sheet in the form of a comic strip by David Owen Beyers. Self-recorded and a concept album about a blob detective, Goose Wazoo is due from Little Dickman Records / State Capital Records on September 9th. The album will be available digitally and on limited-edition, multi-colored vinyl.
