about

Snowed in for days at the beginning of Boston’s 2015 Snow-pocalypse watching the recent Jim Jarmusch vampire film on constant loop, it was easy for Bo and Rachel Barringer to imagine themselves the Only Lovers Left Alive...inspiring the duo to start recording a batch of new songs, which they plan to release monthly one-single-at-a-time over the next several months…here is the first single, “You Taste Like Water,” available as a free download at www.thewrongshapes.com/bandcamp

lyrics

for once…i just want…to taste what you taste like when you wake up and i'm not drunk…would you wrap your arms around and hold my chest you know that I'm obsessed, ok…now…I can see…the broken pieces that lie on the floor and they're laughing at me…but now you're gone…they build a monument to moments never seized up I'm so dumb….the things you do never come out quite right…i've got a friend…who can keep you warm tonight…i said things were fine…it's easy enough to cross that line…you were right..but now you're bored…you're sitting at home and you're waiting for your reward…you taste like water to me….and I would drown myself so happily next to you

The Boston- based guitar/cello/drum machine/vocal duo released their debut album in June 2014 and plan a series of monthly singles over 2015. ... more
