    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.

lyrics

I NEVER ASKED TO BE BORN, AND NO ONE INVITED ME, EITHER.
THE MOMENT I OPENED MY EYES, I KNEW THERE WAS NOTHING TO SEE HERE.
YOU PROBABLY WEREN’T AWARE.
WHY SAY HELLO WHEN NO ONE KNOWS WHO YOU ARE,
OR GOODBYE WHEN NO ONE EVER KNEW YOU WERE THERE?

ALL I ASK IS SOMEWHERE I CAN GO
WHERE I’M WELCOME AND THAT I DON’T ALREADY KNOW.

I USED TO WISH I COULD BE LOVED, BUT NOW I KNOW LOVE’S A RED HERRING.
I FOCUS ON TANGIBLE THINGS, AND THOSE WHO POSSESS THEM AREN’T SHARING.
I COULD USE A CREW.
I’M TIRED OF FIGHTING, BUT THESE GREEDY FUCKS ARE FEW
AND THE SOLITUDE IS SICKENING, TOO.

ALL I ASK IS SOMEWHERE I CAN GO
WHERE I’M WELCOME AND THAT I DON’T ALREADY KNOW.

AND FOR ME AND ALL MY FRIENDS,
THIS IS HOW IT’S ALWAYS BEEN.

I NEVER ASKED TO BE BORN, AND NO ONE INVITED ME, EITHER.
