lyrics

'Twas the melding of millenniums
In the middle of Massachusetts
A different state of mind
People kept talking about his music
A band called Delaware
Many had heard of but few had heard
There were legends of catching them in dimly lit DIY venues
As the night took a turn

They were so underground
That even Pitchfork hadn't heard of them
But if they had would have given
An 8.3 to their debut album

Release the tapes!
We know they'll be amazing
Release the tapes!
There are children that need saving
Release the tapes

Now around this same time out west
There was another band making the rounds
In Colorado they'll ingest anything that's not an animal
And make strange sounds
Two chords for twenty minutes
Followed by an endless encore
A universe without limits
A crushing return to this world

They were all coming down
From a psilocybin symphony
To a Silver April sunrise
Wondering what it all could mean

Release the tapes!
We know they'll be amazing
Release the tapes!
From those lost years of star gazing
Release the tapes

Little did they know years later
Their paths would cross in the corporate world
Still tethered to a microphone
Still calling out to the unknown
Are animals from outer space?
Are aliens from the deep blue sea?
It's all semantics anyway
We define what we believe

Release the tapes
Release the tapes
