I wanna die in the tunnels of London
I wanna feel my weight in the ground
Feel the beauty of the prisoners footsteps
As they tap out a beat for the corporate sound
I wanna live with reckless abandon
I wanna feel my senses arrive
I wanna die in the tunnels of London
I want a ticket straight out of this selfish life
I wanna die in the tunnels of London
I wanna keep calm and carry on
I wanna repay this debt of emotion
Wanna pass, wanna pass this echo on
I wanna live with reckless abandon
I wanna burn out clear and bright
I wanna die in the tunnels of London
I wanna transfer my soul to another time
Where I’m…
Over my love, over my head, over my kind, over the dead
Over and up, under and through, over my heart, and back to you
Over my lust, over my band, over this bucking guitar in my hand
Over disdain, over the signs, over this job, over the line…
Dissatisfied (I wanna die in the tunnels of London)
Inconsolable
Ungratified (I wanna die in the tunnels of London)
Insatiable
Designed to die in the tunnels of London
Designed to die in the tunnels of London
Where I’m…
Over my love, over my head, over my kind, over the dead
Over and up, under and through, over my heart, and back to you
Over my lust, over my band, over this bucking guitar in my hand
Over disdain, over the signs, over this job, over the line.
And I’m out of time, and I wanna die in the tunnels of London...

When singers harmonize—when their voices consume them and fuse into a new whole—something blooms in them: a kind of bliss, a kind of madness. Bradford King and Meghan Sinoff follow this sensation into territory both eccentric and melodic.
If you have a fondness for expertly wrought roots-rock with sharp lyrics and aching vocals, look no further—“Strangers” is for you. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 8, 2022
