When I Was A Young Girl 04:11

When I was a young girl, I used to seek pleasure When I was a young girl, I used to drink ale Right out of the ale house And into the jail house Right out of a barroom And into my grave Come mama, come papa Come sit you down by me Come sit you down by me To pity my case My poor head is aching My sad heart is breaking My body’s salivating And hell is my doom One morning, one morning One morning in May I saw this young lady All wrapped in white linen All wrapped in white linen, And cold as the clay

Adore You 01:17

You don’t know how I adore you You don’t know how I abhor you Eat me out but it don’t feel good Beat me up but you know you should Not hit girls Kick me out when I annoy you All my friends will think I’m so cool Pack my backpack up with dumb shit Leave the house before you try to Crack my ribs You don’t know bout my new boyfriend Thinks he’s got it but I hate him Use your big boy voice to hurt me With your shit vocabulary Call me bitch

Gelatinous 03:08

The milk of it A perfect fit My brother’s tumour A gelatinous mess Good eye, good eye Piggy bank I made a mistake Would you forgive me If you knew how much I didn’t take Good eye, good eye You needn’t worry bout the afterlife ‘Cause our mother says it’ll be alright Heaven knows The good he’s done Those baby blues With my grandfather’s gun

Tongues - Swamp Mom // Lost Dad

Emocat is happy to present the debut EP of Toronto's 'Tongues'. Megan and Nicole share multi instrument, vocal and programming duties to weave a playfully demented tapestry of sound. This is music for the technologically privileged children of a post-singularity future. The opening credits to Saved By The Bell if it took place on the Mars of Total Recall. The first song is a reimagining of a traditional folk song into a dirge with a sombre atmosphere and pitch shifted vocals. The second song is much more playful with no-wave tinged synths and talk singing. The third song (our personal favourite) opens with guitar lines that sound straight out of the 90s Kentucky post-hardcore scene. Playful is the best word to describe the groove the band locks into when they hit their stride. Lo-fi synths and samples weave their way around a shuffling bassline until the end.

We are very excited to be releasing this and look forward to hearing more from them.
