    Like the combination of cookies and milk, Safe Houses (fka Shelter Dogs) marry toe-tappin' rhythm with biting, sardonic wit for a debut EP that stands alone in the KP universe. Time to wiggle and writhe along to this power pop/new wave/rock n roll hybrid that honestly uppercuts whatever you think you're getting into. Unless your plan is to play this tape on repeat and it bares repeating.

    Limited ed. of 100 white cassettes. Comes w/ digital download.

lyrics

Oh, give me something for the pain.
Oh, oh no, let me explain:
I mean something to sustain
The pain.

All I did last year was hate it.
I spent the summer swilling Shaeffers while dehydrated,
Worrying what few friends stood near me.
I wanted something I could want, just for the novelty.

And, oh, the creeping ropeburn of desire
Can do so much to frantically inspire
That grasping gasp to finally change.
Goddamn, I just really need the pain.

Oh, give me something for the pain.
Oh, oh no, let me explain:
I mean something to sustain
The pain.

Yeah, the past means nothing to me.
You didn’t miss anything good before you knew me.
Pasts are perfect for escaping.
Pull yourself into the present, get to bottom-scraping.

Oh, you say you want me to cheer up,
But I suspect you won’t live long enough.
When the pain lifts and only numbness remains,
No joke—I’ll be jonesing for more pain.

Oh, give me something for the pain.
Oh, oh no, let me explain:
I mean something to sustain
The pain.

You I like, y’know, and I like your awful attitude,
But I don’t want a lover now—what I need is a muse.
What is more exquisite than my practiced solitude?
If you wanna get things done, you gotta learn to refuse.

Oh, give me something for the pain.
Oh, oh no, let me explain:
I mean something to sustain
The pain.
