All these styles comprise You Said Something, the new Alberta and The Dead Eyes full-length record released this month. Though while the shadowy sashaying of ‘See Saw‘ and sinuous confidence of ‘Lil’ Bird‘ sat within the former aforementioned categories, ‘Muck’ falls firmly within the latter. A folk song wrapped in nostalgia but not fully taken with its allure, possessing the kind of impassioned yet fatalistic charm of Water Liars’s Justin Peter Kinkel-Schuster. Alberta and the Dead Eyes are just as interested in the past as the future, and all too aware of how both have their own false bottoms and trap doors.

I’m coming in hot now, but you’ll find that I’m the same.
Sipping on my booze, backwashing truths and memories.
I’m moving past my prime ever so clumsily.
If you travel to the future—or maybe to the past
would you come and find me?
