Eyes following a sign It's got me turned around, but it's saying that I'm fine So I'm floatin' on a boat Never better as it stands Could I be a better man? Am I running up that hill? That depends, take a breath and count to ten Turning thirty let em know Paying homage on the phone itchy tiger wearing clothes I was following the sound It's playing in my head, but it's telling me I'm fine So I'm filling up my chest All these dudes are such a mess Rollin' polleys up a dress. I'll be singing Eh, Cumpari! in the van Wait a sec I'll pull around Waving wishes in the cold Paying penance up a pole Phil aint coming out his hole (Give it! Got It! Give It! Got it!) Meet me on the hill, Caterpillar pilled Inching up the slope, imperial dope Catch me if I fall, hold me if I cry Chrysalis to flying but I'm not even trying Eyes following a sign It's got me turned around, but it's saying that I'm fine So I'm floatin' on a boat Never better as it stands Could I be a better man? Am I running up that hill? Caterpillar pilled. Wrong another time Write another song. Filling up my lungs This is not a drill. This is not a wrench This is not my home. Let it go! Poppa Piccolino, all the señorinas Pat the little children, counting up the lyra Play a concertina for all the señorinas Pat the little children and counting up the lyra

I’ve been hoarding again, this is where I sit now Spot me spinning out as I shout “It could be your size” With an eager mind, and an eagle eye Still haven’t eaten Hellbent on forcing it in two separate containers “Is it full or not?” is a thought that I’m burdened by Shoulda stayed inside, do you realize I haven’t even tried? All this wondering when, I’m spaced out thinking of it I’ve been cleaning again, swept up in the corner Sink into the drain, unexplained spinning out for days Big sigh, reading replies. Ask me in the morning Was I ever well? I can’t tell cause I’m sleeping in All this wondering when, I’ve been worse for it I’ll survive off of anything before I live in the moment Again play it again, I’m rehearsing it I’ll survive off of anything before I live in the moment I’ve been hoarding again, this is where I sit now All this wondering when, I’ve been worse for it I’ll survive off of anything before I live in the moment Again say it again, make me work for it I’ll survive off of anything Before I live with a moment, I’d watch it unfolding

about

Grocer is a band from Philadelphia. Lead by three distinct vocalists, each with a unique voice both on and off their respective instruments, they flicker between moments of brash chromaticism, saccharine pop sensibility, and rhythmic acrobatics. Their compositions are both meticulous and volatile, while their live performances are lauded for explosive chemistry with cheeky curiosity.

Just on the heels of the release of their formative EP, Scatter Plot, the band returned to their subterranean laboratory to further prod and pull at their musical specimens. On their new LP, Bless Me (out April 19th) the band emerges with some striking discoveries. Palpable melodic figures interact with an ever shifting landscape of rhythmic and harmonic structures.

Bless Me encapsulates the band’s enigmatic live energy like lightning in a jar. Tracked live in their own basement and further realized with mixing help from Nate Amos (Water From Your Eyes, This Is Lorelei), the final product is electric, magnetic, and radio-active. An album that attempts to reckon with the worn out “Thoughts and Prayers’ trope of the American way of thinking, Grocer envelopes a musical ferocity that pushes for change, rather than mere acknowledgement.

A notably ambitious touring outfit, the self-described “road dogs” will be touring the US in May 2024. Grocer amuses and perplexes live audiences all over the country and on their memorable Audiotree, XPN and NPR sessions. They are playful entertainers at heart, but not to the detriment of the substantive work that they create.
