Shout 04:45
Lord don’t slow me until the fun dies Hold power lightly while we got wide-eyes Keep the want to go on adventures Mind and body strong in all weathers Black plastic chairs, self-righteous views Lord don’t let me stop feeling angry Give me strength to call out the bad guys Guard me from self-satisfaction No need yet for self-preservation. Black plastic chairs, self-righteous views It’s gonna be some day Lord don’t let me grow into easement Binging dramas daily on Netflix Open mind to different opinions Contribute to young conversations Black plastic chairs, self-righteous views It’s gonna be some day - Shout Black plastic chairs, self-righteous views It’s gonna be some day - Shout The never ending narrative, illegal protests We are all complicit, we're all in this together Our chief weapon is fear, fear and surprise Our chief weapon in fear, illegal protests Antibodies are better than vaccines I'd rather let nature take its course Normal is an illusion, That the spider feels is normal

No time for hanging around, come on and follow us down Oh Sunset Square. Grab your bike, get your phone, text your friends come along Oh Sunset Square. And every time you feel it closing in Money’s tight, and friends are running thin You don’t have to be, a millionaire, to love life at Sunset Square Water’s warm, sky is blue, girls are pretty and the boys are too Oh Sunset Square. Chatting, laughing, fool around, dig the groove the summer sound Oh Sunset Square. And every time you feel it closing in Money’s tight, and friends are running thin You don’t have to be, a millionaire, to love life at Sunset Square Walking down the street the other day, took by surprise I say Spooning on the street, shoes together neat, on such a perfect day No time for hanging around, come on and follow us down Oh, Sunset Square. grab your bike and get your phone, text your friends to come along Oh, Sunset Square. And every time you feel it closing in Money's tight, and friends are running thin You don’t have to be, a millionaire, to love life at Sunset Square

about

Having released 2 EPs Insecticide and Insectology in 2020, and the 3 track Go in 2021, DISCOMBOBULATED is Them Creepy Crawlies first LP. The 10 tracks were written during 2021 and 2022 and are a nervous mix of genres, worries and feelings. It was produced by Matt Hills and Neil with co-production by Adam, Jim and Bolokus. It was recorded by Matt at Hillside Studios between August 2021 and May 2022. The album fits uncomfortably into myriad genres, reflecting the band members' multi-layered tastes that cross punk, rock, shoe-gaze, britpop, Aussie rock, alternative indie and new wave.

DISCOMBOBULATED is post midlife crisis. A title for our times. Songs smile about what was, cringe at what might have been, worry about what is, and pray for what we want it to be. DISCOMBOBULATED is about four middle-aged men each with their personal responsibilities, commitments, beliefs, fears and egos. It’s all so predictable...or not. Who knows?
