about

Although playful in its reverb laden grooves, Out of the Office was composed as a therapeutic exercise in getting through moments of heavy negativity. In this case, a stagnant work life, a terrible roommate situation, and persistent social anxiety inspired a song that abstractly depicts sparks of anger and self-doubt, but also recognizes the ups and downs in life and the great need to love oneself.

lyrics

Out of the office and into the cold
I’m gonna walk back to my nest
When I get home I’ma start up a fight
I’m gonna talk back to myself
Can you get rid of that smell?
I wanna run
I wanna run away from here
I put a dent in the back of my head when I got mad
It could be good, it could be bad
Let’s wait and see

Too many heads up in here
Don’t wanna talk
I’m gonna walk back to my cave
When I get home I’ma start up a fire
I’m gonna burn this mess alive!
Can you get rid of that smell?
I wanna run
I wanna run away from here
I put a dent in the back of my head when I got mad
It could be good, it could be bad
Let’s wait and see

Echoes from their filthy mouths
Live in my ear in the night
Learn to love yourself now
Oh, Lucifer! Goodbye!
For now…

about

Selvátiko New York, New York

Selvátiko fuses psych rock, alt rock and cumbia grooves with metal-inspired breakdowns. Their debut EP delivers a strong rebuke of anti-immigrant rhetoric, religion-inspired hatred, and our abuse of nature. Using a lyrical approach that is abstract, playful, and sarcastic, the work is an introspective observation of our own flaws, both individual and collective. ... more
