about

Billy’s Dream” is likely our most mangled and sculpted track. It’s a distilled example of our process of recording long jams and remixing them into shorter songs- finding 1-4 second moments that sound good and reconfiguring them like a collage. By the time we made this, the way we wrote had as much to do with listening as playing. We sampled this break that Matt drummed sort of off the cuff, that’s the main drum pattern, and sang this rhyme scheme over it. Coco basically made it what it is by infusing all the guitar textures into it- building a really complex field of sound. Lyrically it’s a story we all know: a man wants to destroy everything he has, he can’t control himself and he doesn’t know why.

lyrics

My name is Billy Lamb
I’ve done the best I can
My daddy’s a businessman
My daddy’s a businessman
I don’t remember who I am

I need remote control
I’m howling in the hole
I got a ride on the devil's back
I’m gonna name my first son Jack
I drive away and I never look back

I save myself
My home
You know I try to save myself
You know I try to save myself
No
You know I try to save myself

Take my camera pretty thing
Make me a slot machine
I like em handsome I em mean
Prettiest thing I ever did see
