about
Arising at the forefront of contemporary underground pop, Chicago-based duo GRÜN WASSER shapes the course of minimal electronic music and blurs the boundaries of art, songwriting and performance on their latest full-length Not Ok with Things out October 4, 2019. Vocalist Keely Dowd and producer Essej Pollock artfully bend and reconfigure popular trends in dance music into unconventionally catchy songs and a powerful live show. Their unique mix of hardware, software and sampling coalesce into irresistible rhythms and driving sequences that fuse perfectly with Dowd’s distinctive alto voice, forming music that is as instantly appealing as it is fascinating. With lyrics inspired by personal struggles and social inequality, GRÜN WASSER raises the bar on innovation in modern pop as they arrive on the national stage with Not Ok with Things.
lyrics
dry and hope
high and up
clinical pause
street lights still on
sound applause
weedy nights
long thought long stare
dust does bother and disappear
as easy it comes it goes like the rest
my friends are distressed
i find myself to regress
filling a book up with withering notes
not enough to myself
nor to you, not myself
but the spirit keeps me hanging on
lot of love i can bring
i can claim all these things
though i cannot scrape the origin of doubt
dry and hope
high and up
clinical pause
street lights still on
sound applause
weedy nights
long thought long stare
dust does bother and disappear
as easy it comes it goes like the rest
my friends are distressed
i find myself to regress
dry and hope
high and up
clinical pause
street lights still on
sound applause
weedy nights
long thought long stare
dust does bother and disappear
as easy it comes it goes like the rest
my friends are distressed
i find myself to regress
filling a book up with withering notes
not enough to myself
nor to you, not myself
but the spirit keeps me hanging on
lot of love i can bring
i can claim all these things
though i cannot scrape the origin of doubt
dry and hope
high and up
clinical pause
street lights still on
sound applause
weedy nights
long thought long stare
dust does bother and disappear
as easy it comes it goes like the rest
my friends are distressed
i find myself to regress
lot of love i can bring
i can claim all these things
though i cannot scrape the origin of doubt
dry and hope
high and up
clinical pause
street lights still on
sound applause
weedy nights
long thought long stare
lot of love i can bring
i can claim all these things
though i cannot scrape the origin of doubt
lot of love i can bring
lot of love i can bring
lot of love i can bring

Slowly backtracking and collecting the backcatalog of Boy Harsher here... As always rife with beautiful sounding detuned retro synth goodness and beautiful and melancholic vocal melodies.
In a couple week gonna get another chance to see you guys live in Riga again! Cheers comaunite
I've always enjoyed Boy Harsher but I don't think they ever really clicked in my brain until I watched The Runner. Now I can't get enough. Gordon Skramzy (Nathan)
