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
i didn’t know what i wanted
she didn’t know what she wanted
i didn’t know what he wanted
he didn’t know what he wanted
stuck inside an illusion
grasping onto conclusions
bleeding in a cup
drinking from a fountain
trying to touch something sacred
something scared me
i didn’t know what i wanted
she didn’t know what she wanted
walk through the garden
find a single flower
reminds me of one time
we sat and talked for an hour
but i didn’t know what i wanted
she didn’t know what she wanted
i didn’t know what he wanted
he didn’t know what he wanted
i was trying to figure it out
but i didn’t have a clue how
and with just the sleight of your hand
all sudden i know exactly where i
you with your dirty hair
and your big decisions
i was trying to figure it out
but now i know exactly where i’m at
i didn’t know what i wanted
she didn’t know what she wanted
i didn’t know what he wanted
he didn’t know what he wanted
i didn’t know what i wanted
walk through the garden
find a single flower
reminds me of one time
we sat and talked for an hour
bleeding in a cup
drinking from a fountain
trying to touch something sacred
something scared me
i was trying to touch something sacred
something sacred me
but i, i didn’t know what i was trying to touch
but i, i didn’t know what i was trying to touch
but i, i didn’t know what i
i didn’t know what i
i didn’t know
i was trying to figure it out
but i didn’t have a clue how
and with just the sleight of your hand
all sudden i know exactly where i
you with your dirty hair
and your big decisions
i was trying to figure it out
but now i know exactly where i’m at
i didn’t know what i wanted
she didn’t know what she wanted
i didn’t know what he wanted
i didn’t know
didn’t know

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)
