Talk to me now, I'm older Your friend told you 'cause I told her Friday nights have been lonely Change your plans and then phone me We could go and get forties Fuck going to that party Oh, really, your folks are away now Alright, let's go, you convinced me 12:51 Is the time my voice Found the words I sought Is it this stage I want? The world is shuttin' out for us Oh, we were tense for sure But we was confident Kiss me now that I'm older I won't try to control you Friday nights have been lonely Take it slow but don't warn me We'd go out and get forties Then we'd go to some party Oh, really, your folks are away now Alright I'm coming, I'll be right there

Was an honest man Asked me for the phone Tried to take control Oh, I don't see it that way I don't see it that way We shared some ideas All obsessed with fame Says we're all the same Oh, I don't see it that way I don't see it that way Raised in Carolina I'm not like that Tryin' to remind her When we go back I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train I try, but you see it's hard to explain I said the right things but act the wrong way I like it right here but I cannot stay I watched the TV, forget what I'm told Well I am too young and they are too old The joke is on you, this place is a zoo You're right, it's true He said he can't decide I shake my head to say Everything's just great Oh, I just can't remember I just can't remember Raised in Carolina I'm not like that Trying to remind her When we go back I say the right things but act the wrong way I like it right here but I cannot stay I watched the TV, forget what I'm told I am too young and they are too old I'll make it you see I'm nervous, so please Pretend to be nice so I can be mean I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train I try, but you see It's hard to explain

about

Piano, cello, and vocals. Is this it? That's it. A raw and moody acoustic take on a couple of mine and Michelle's favorite tracks from The Strokes.

The Strokes are pretty foundational to my earliest days of getting excited to play music. I have such fond memories of learning both Nick and Albert's guitar parts and generally being stoked about songwriting. Both 'Is This It' and 'Room on Fire' have such a distinct vibe and texture to them, both records are an inspiration to me!

I really loved the idea of approaching these songs with no guitars or driving rhythm (sorry Fab!) and trying to let the songs breathe a little more. Getting to have Michelle's cello expertise on these tracks is such a gift, indispensable to the vibe and flavor of these covers.

It's always fascinating to return to songs that have well established expectations and being surprised by the new angles you discover when pulling back the usual sonic layers. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

P.S. If you listen closely enough, you can hear a pug snoring in the room cello mic ;)
