jeffrey lewis i'm not smart enough or brave enough to do it and in fact now i feel stupid it's a coincidence that i got all these stickers around my strings but there's no way that i can prove it and i'll need one more chord to make my point before we both get bored and i'll use this chord to make this pretty in case the words are shitty joseph arthur you're much bigger but you're still no jeffrey lewis only stickers got you in this and i wonder if in a three-way fight who'd be the one to pull a knife and make off with all the stickers and i'll need one more chord to make my point before i start looping it and i'll use this chord to make this pretty in case the words are shitty

about

Have you ever been at a coffee shop and seen a squeaky clean singer-songwriter rhyming “love” and “up above” and generally being unrealistically sappy? Then you wonder, “What is this guy really thinking?” What if he just got sick of pandering and started using his gorgeous guitar chords and soothing voice to sing about his neuroses and violent impulses instead?
What you would get is Arthur Yoria. The Houston native is the id of the singer-songwriter world, a status cemented by his 2009 album 281 and its songs with colorful titles like “Drunk Piss” and “No Messin’ With My Rectum If You Like My Erection.” Despite the subject matter, Yoria’s instrumentation and voice is rather poppy and catchy.
Now, Yoria is back with his highly entertaining stream-of-consciousness musings. Thank You is one of two EPs he released this week (get the other here). It contains two songs, neither of which pulls punches with the titles “I’m Gonna Take a Swing at Your Head With an Aluminum Bat” and “In Case the Words are Shitty (Jeffrey Lewis).” Aside from the abrasive synthesizer intro, both songs are rather delicate and, well, pretty. That is, if you can get past grotesque lyrics.
