  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    While we virtually live in a virtual world, you really ought to consider having an object of permanence in your collection. And maybe even acting a bit haughty about it, in reference to the kids today, even if you're one of them? The CD packaging is gorgeous, thanks to the artwork and design of Lincoln Hancock and Ben Spiker. This also gets you immediate download of 13-track album in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire...which means you need never admit to your peers that you paid us for our work when they see you rocking it on your iThing. Just say 'bit torrent' and they'll think you're pretty cool.

lyrics

Back to basics after your Lasik(r) surgery
Clear as Crystal Pepsi(tm), smoking like a pistol, like a gun
We're going under or getting any younger from this fun
Forgot your hat trick, Coca-Cola Classic(c), perjury

As we pass through I'll show you
This lock turns a thousand keys
So don't speak to me of degrees
There's more than enough in this heat
Too many policemen walking the beat

My heart's in walking the line
I feel no heat in playing for time

I want to draw you a picture
But you need to see past the frame
Read signatures under the name

It's time, so rewrite your story
Leave character names intact
Lose all the matter-of-fact

My heart's in crossing the line
I feel no heat in playing for time

Every cow asleep become: bulldozer
Come closer, composer
Bending notes and turning phrases
She softly sighs but she could still lose it
I gently cup the face of my music
Help her wash the makeup clean

Shifting meters, twisting words
Baby let me taste your surreal
Before the colors tamp my nerve

Changing keys and dropping lines
Baby let me chase your surreal
Until the colors still my mind

about

Le Weekend Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Le Weekend is a progressive-minded, skewed-pop-leaning, hyphen-employing rock band from Chapel Hill NC, est. 2006. It faithfully and exuberantly generates the sound of itself playing Le Weekend music. It knows a little about a lot of things, and something about the value in hiding and showing. The rest it kind of fakes, but you could totally have fun with it. ... more
