about

The Australian band Thigh Master is now Dippers. This is their first release under the new name. The music is more immediate than their jangle-pop contemporaries, and is reminiscent of the Go-Betweens, the Chills, the Cannanes & TVPs.

First track from upcoming LP Clastic Rock on Goner / Tenth Court records.

Release date 6/23/23

lyrics

Took the staple out
from the packaged rope
slung half down the aisle
the other to piles
rung up to embroil

Latch the pillow’s snout
to the telephone
while I wrap the eye
in shimmering files
expanding what I know

Festered to the surface, now the drape is gonna have to fold

I'm just breaking away from the hold
No more tightening up the tangles

Draw to paper now
scrunched into the drawer
while I look to ground
for the fledging frown
on the concrete note

Time to tamper down
on the pile I own
want to quantify
something to smiles
to the higher dome

Bleary shouts from the simulation
I think I'm gonna have to go

I'm just breaking away from the hold
no more tightening up the tangles
just breaking away from the hold

Faring well to elastic shambles
I'm just breaking away from the hold
No more tightening up the tangles
Just breaking away from the hold
