I am missing something Deeply missing something Is it you? I think it's you
2.
You can be anywhere you want By yourself Just say where you wanna go And run along You could be alone tonight If you wanted to Don't do anything You don’t wanna do Never really work Til after noon Be by yourself And live it up Just right Feel right Feel right Do you feel right? Feel right alone If you don't wanna be Alone by yourself Slip into the beach Beneath your screen Safe as the sun Dripping in between Soft astral waves Like a tangerine Color your dreams Like I don't know Look for Lola And feel right Feel right Do you feel right? Feel right alone

Ahh You’re looking Only looking when you’re looking back You’re calling Only calling when you start to crack You’re loving You only love me when I can’t love you You’re falling Got me falling when you can’t follow through What if it’s true now? And it was you now? A parallel path I can almost imagine What if it’s true now? And it was you now? Dreaming and coming Alternate loving I can feel you every single I can feel your every single Ahh I’m leaving Leaving til you love me right How long? How long til you love me right? What if it’s true now? And it was you now? A parallel path I can almost imagine What if it’s true now? And it was you now? Dreaming and coming Alternate loving I can feel you every single I can feel your every single Ahh

I could be a mother I could be a trend I think I’m a window I could be misled I could scream I love it I could make it end Sun just trying to make it Back around again I want to be different I want to be true I once saw an echo Show me how to do it I can set myself free inside you if I choose I can inch toward gloom if I’m distant beside you When I held my brother Thought it was the end Mama was relaxed And I was calm again Sky was opened up And I saw all death is Ecstasy of color Absence of limit Screaming infinity Plane of joy sublime You’ll always be an echo Past the edge of time I can set myself free inside you if I choose I can inch toward gloom if I’m distant beside you

Inside Out 03:31
Inside out You're always telling me I’m inside out Silence, doubt The future's crying for our breaking out Are you ever holding back Or wanting to say it plainly Say it now Speak your truth Lost any feeling Of something to prove Join the lonely people Who speak the truth Inside out You're always telling me I’m inside out Lost any feeling Of something to prove Join the lonely people Who speak the truth

about

Produced by the band, mixed by Spoon’s Jim Eno, and mastered by Dave Cooley (J Dilla, Wolf Alice, Blood Orange, M83), Missing Something was released Friday, September 28 on Modern Outsider Records.

A deeply personal collection of songs, Missing Something was heavily influenced by the death of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Jackie O’Brien’s brother, Alex, the band’s longtime manager who struggled with bipolar disorder.

“These songs capture a very confusing and uncanny turn in our lives, Alex's decent into sudden and severe bipolar 1 disorder as well as the end of a global epoch,” said Jackie. “To me, the music channels the schizoid joy of your world unraveling so quickly you've got no choice but to pull back and enjoy your beautiful, short-circuiting self, not even worrying about making sense of it all 'cause that's just not possible.”

The Austin Chronicle premiered the first video for the song “Trip With Lola,” calling the video “a mellow, psychedelic riff on The Frog Prince fairy tale.”
