Oh Hell 05:11
Open a window, nail up the door Oh, you’d like this view It’s new Oh it makes me feel Oh hell it makes me feel so strange When you don’t come around You don’t come around Moved all the furniture, painted the walls Oh, you’d hate it there I swear Oh it makes me feel Oh hell it makes me feel so strange You don’t come around You don’t come around

I don’t, I don’t wanna take you home I don’t, I don’t wanna live alone Tomorrow, tomorrow you’ll be flown I don’t, I don’t want you to come home I don’t, I don’t want you to come home Please come home

Welcome In 10:08
I’m getting in late and you owe me a ride I’m working an angle I work all the time I’m stuck in the couch and you owe me some time I’m working an ache out, babe I work all the time You’ll feel better when it’s over You’ll feel better when it’s done You’ll feel better when you’re holding You’ll feel better when I’m gone You’ll feel better without makeup You’ll feel better without clothes You’ll feel better in the morning You’ll feel better in your home All the time, I work all the time I work all the time I’m running on fumes ignoring the signs I’m making it last I work all the time I’m down on my knees just swallow your pride I’ll wait until tonight I work all the time

Stella-Rondo 02:57
I’ve got a plant that won’t grow any more all of it’s wrapped up around a dead core The voices you love come loudest to you when they whisper The voices you love come loudest to you when they whisper If you pick at those stitches you know they won’t heal tape it up, press on the seal The plant that you grow looks largest to you when it withers The plant that you grow looks largest to you as it withers The voices you love, when they whisper The voices you love, when they whisper

Overtime 01:00
It’s like you said the lesson was the one you learned before you learned it over and over again It’s like you said the lesson was the one you learned before you learned it over and over and over and over and over

Pedigo 05:52
There are no happy geniuses no one with half of a brain in their head would ever ask for the things I want No one with half of a brain would ever ask There’s hope when you face the facts no one with half of a plan on the page would ever fall for the lines I’ve bought No one with half of a brain would ever ask The pain follows you everywhere but no one with half of a spine in their back would ever go for the dogs I’ve fought No one with half of a brain would ever ask No one with half of a brain would ever ask

about

Wowza in Kalamazoo began as a remote recording collaboration between Ike Turner and Zach Hench (along with the brilliant Sarah Beauchamp), but quickly metastasized into a full-tilt rock band comprising Franki Hand (Petrillo), Chafe Hensley (OUT, Minutes, Hornet), Brad Miller (Brown Company, Dr. Xeron & The Moogulators), Mark Walters (The Revelators) and the above-mentioned Turner (OUT, Minutes, New Standards Men). As the group expanded so did their approach to writing songs, including more emphasis placed on improvisation and capturing work as it happens vs. grinding songs into dust.

Their new album, Why You Don’t Come Around, is a healthy dose of both prepared material (such as “Nightly Commute Overhead”) and a more freeform approach to composition (“Bad Outlet”). The album was recorded and mixed by Ian Gorman at La Luna in Kalamazoo, MI and mastered by Steve Silverstein in NYC.

In lieu of a vinyl release (and waiting twelve months for it to show up), Wowza in Kalamazoo will be screen-printing a poster in a limited edition of 160 copies. Each comes with a download code.
