Heroic cutlets (liveish) 01:33
lyrics
buy track
Advance set list confirms the worst Another round of verse / chorus / adverse No one's bridged Constant four-count burpee marks the speed as fast Cranking up the cans until they bleed their last Build a better mousetrap but you'll need a class of mice They don't provide In these blandlands Some futurist should wipe your drive They hit their notes and sorely miss their mark Ooh, etc. The shadows that they cast aren't so long as dark Ooh, etc.

Soaking wet ghost / Parking lots (liveish) 03:45
lyrics

In these Greek ruins of a parking deck I can trust myself to drive But cannot trust myself to shave Don't take our meaning, smarts-for-brains Hey speed demons on the highway Stop rolling by at demon speed, oh There they go Was it worth the note? When minutes become dollars who's to show The fade into exaggerated pose In our galaxy's central bulge With honest secrets to indulge?

about

Like the night sky, the band Le Weekend has been around more than 15 years. One of us used the time to write songs, play shows, and put out recording at what wouldn't be called a breakneck pace.

On the nearly auspicious occasion of LW's 15th year (which true to form was LAST YEAR) we wanted to put out a compilation of "hits" from our first decade of albums. Recording new versions, on the cheap'n'quick, was sure to be more fun that re-releasing studio recordings, so we stuck a phone somewhere it might hear us and let it listen to us relearn material. The results were surprisingly good. ("Good" here = sonically interesting, instruments audible, while fooling no one into thinking a professional was involved).

Some more things to know:
1. The performances are liveish, not live, because the vocals were done later, also to voice memo.
2. The gap between when the band did its thing and when the vocals were added was quite substantial (almost a year?), for no good reason at all.
3. Not long after we got the band takes, the practice space was substantially re-arranged, and none of our practice recordings sound this good anymore. We truly captured the Golden Age of The Storage Unit.

So please l'enjoy a couple-a-songs preview of the magic to come. Full thing later this year.

Pre.P.S. We're working on a batch of new songs. Shooting for an album in 2023, so be on the lookout in 2025!

Your friend,

Le Weekend

about

Le Weekend image

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
