Through the historic Oregon fires, sweltering temperatures and the pandemic – in an area known for its folk rock and bluegrass – the Ashland band, Slow Corpse, has managed to produce indie music that can and should be front and center on anyone’s playlist if a unique blend of indie mixed with a little R&B and a stream of electro pop is your music of choice. Or if you just like good music.
Band members musicians Brenton Clarke (guitarist) and Mitchell Winters (vocalist) described their album “Bite Your Tongue as “a patchwork of ambivalence, hedonism, self-deprecation, confidence, heartbreak, and ultimately acceptance.”
If you’re wondering if Slow Corpse has a Portland-specific connection – they were produced by Tender Loving Empire, an independent Portland record label that has also produced Dave Depper (Death Cab for Cuties), Boy Eats Drum Machine, Chanti Darling, Y La Bamba, just to name a few.
Have a listen to their song:
In My Head
by Slow Corpse
w/ lyrics
I’m thinking that I’m overrated
I thank you for the love and patience
Why does this feel like this is in my head
Daydreaming think that we will make it
I am a lot in the meadow
I got shot by an arrow
Why does this fear run in my head
I’ma rot from the middle
I got shot by an arrow
Why does this fear run in my head
I don’t think I’m gonna stay
I fucked up another day
I’m out of control I don’t see myself in you anymore
I already know yeah
The shit that they’re gonna say
I am out of control I don’t see myself in you anymore
I feel like I’ve been here before
Thinking that I will be your love
Bury the memories and knowing it’s my fault
I could tell you on my way
I am a lot in the meadow
I got shot by an arrow
Why does this fear run in my head
I’ma rot from the middle
I got shot by an arrow
Why does this fear run in my head
I don’t think I’m gonna stay
I fucked up another day
I’m out of control I don’t see myself in you anymore
I already know yeah
The shit that they’re gonna say
I am out of control I don’t see myself in you anymore
I am thinking that I’m overrated
No
