  • Hardly Working - Limited Edition Cassette
    Cassette + Digital Album

    We're back from our Never Work / Hardly Working tour and we have just 25 copies of the EP on cassette left! We expected to come back with many more, but perhaps what the kids have been saying is finally true and tapes are back at last? Anyway, if tapes are your thing and this is a thing you want, this is where you can get this thing, while they last. Apologies for the shipping costs - Canada Post is squeezing blood from every stone they can these days.

lyrics

Seventeen, working at the Silver Screen
Hair dye, sentimental horror queen
New release VHS, popcorn is free

You’ve got late fees on American Pie
You’ve got a new crush on the moody Tarantino guy
Just one request: please be kind and rewind

Nobody does that job anymore 
Nobody does that job anymore

My dad was local news reporter
Doing interviews on a little tape recorder
We’d drive rolls of film all the way in to town

Pictures of people doing work
Farmers, politicians and the courthouse clerks
The news is just the things that people do in a day

Nobody does that job anymore 
Nobody does that job anymore

Milk man, toll booth operator
File clerk, town crier and lamplighter
Transcriptionist, travel agent,
Door to door salesman
        
Elevator operator, knocker upper
Photo lab tech, printer and typesetter
A&R man, radio DJ and bank teller

Nobody does that job anymore 
Nobody does that job anymore
Nobody does that job anymore

Their densely populated genre-shifting songs are packed with an abundance of literary, historical, cultural, and pop-cultural forebears, heroes and villains, subjects and objects, stories and hooks.
