about

This one was done in about two hours. The bridge section has a kind of false build-up which happened that way because I ran out of breath (as you may hear). In the background of parts of the track you can hear my partner doing the dishes in the other room. While recording, I was aware every clatter she was making was going to be picked up by the mic and because I was doing everything in one take with no edits, I knew these noises would therefore become a permanent part of the song. This made me initially, breifly furious, and I nearly asked her to stop - but then I realised it was awesome.

lyrics

i made a sound
nobody knew what it was
i wrote this down
noone could understand it
i built a place
noone could ever find it
i made your face
noone could recognise it

let me sell you something thats mine
let me sell you something thats mine
let me sell you something thats mine
i'll sell you it but it is mine!

nobody knew what it was
noone could understand it
noone could recognise it
nobody could ever find it

let me sell you something thats mine
let me sell you something thats mine
let me sell you something thats mine
its mine!

oooh, oooh
oooooooohhhhhhh
ooooooohhhhhhhhaaaggghh
(tick tock, tick tock…)

noone could understand it
nobody could ever find it

Anthony Milas Auckland, New Zealand

Born insane into a family of frustrated creatives, Anthony Milas painstakingly crawled his way up the slippery slopes of sanity, evolution and music to teeter at the edge of a genre he calls Lo-fi Pop. Here, he tragically falters moments prior to achieving fame, notoriety and excess, and you find him only as he plummets back into the merciless depths of nothingness from whence he came. ... more
