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
Is this how we behave?
Do we put our wounds on display?
Do we let them dictate all the things that we do and we say?
Shred all comfort zones
And try sleeping a few nights alone.
In the face of temptation, experiment in saying no.
Take the reins. That’s yr own neck.
Kiddo, you’re a trainwreck, oh no.
Shut yr mouth—do what I do;
I won’t do it for you, oh no.
Hey kiddo, you’re a trainwreck. Listen. you’re a trainwreck,
Totally a trainwreck, oh no.
And I could fill a freight train with the things you choose to
Never let yourself know. No, no, no, no, no, no!
Darling, you’re my Dubai,
And I’m an Abu Dhabi of the mind.
In desperate times, don’t keep looking to me to get by.
Quivering grown-up child,
Unfit to survive in the wild—
You want pity for loving the weakness that you should revile.
No control. You’ve made this so.
Kiddo, you’re a shitshow, oh no.
Stand alone, ‘cause an adult
Shouldn’t still be coddled, oh no.
Hey kiddo, you’re a trainwreck. Listen. you’re a trainwreck,
Totally a trainwreck, oh no.
And I could fill a freight train with the things you choose to
Never let yourself know. No, no, no, no, no, no!
Who we are is a function of how we behave.
To be a function of a wound is to be a slave.
Do you wanna be slayed? Do you wanna be a slave?
This is your own self to save.
Are you gonna be a slave?
No response. You’re pathetic.
Kiddo, you’re a trainwreck, oh no.
Choose to try—no excuses;
Clench a fist and do this, oh no.
Hey kiddo, you’re a trainwreck. Listen. you’re a trainwreck,
Totally a trainwreck, oh no.
And I could fill a freight train with the things you choose to
Never let yourself know. No, no, no, no, no, no!
