We live by paradises
not by do before I die lists
We live off paid-up tourists and we smile into their eyes
You come for the blue sea
Polite waiters are amusing
You soak up the sunsets and you bitch about the rain
Waltzing playing music
All the events and abuses
Left us feeling battered, crooked, dead behind the eyes
We cracked the piggy open
Spent some money, started hoping
We thought of being noble, but I saw it in their eyes
This Is My Home
Down boulevards you wander
With red faces full of wonder
Did we make a blunder, putting our land up to sell?
When you leave we shake the carpets,
prepare restaurants, apartments
To make new sets of memories that you carry back to hell
And they built a brand new city
Round the corner it’s a pity
All the booze is free and safe activities galore
The beaches they are private
Not sure how we will survive it
My town is as it always been already you seem bored
This Is My Home

It’s easy to get lost inside the rippling synths and electronic textures on the latest from Aisle Knot, a feast for the ears. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 8, 2021
The Brooklyn group Aisle Knot writes hushed, mysterious songs that are charmingly rickety and grounded in surefooted melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable May 22, 2021
