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
in a dream
i will see you
cross a field
we are sound
hold my breath
listen closely
i am sleeping
come too soon
find me wide awake
find me sleeping
come too soon
come too soon
too soon
you’re a worm
trying to cross the sidewalk
but you have no feet
you’re gonna get stepped on
and i’ve got feet and i’m big and tall
but i’m stuck in the mud, mentally
physically, physically i’m moving
i’m pacing back and forth
i’m pacing back and forth
but mentally, mentally i’m stuck in the mud
i’m stuck in the mud
and my minds’ all stagnant
physically, physically i’m moving
i’m pacing back and forth
i’m pacing back and forth
but mentally, mentally i’m stuck in the mud
i’m stuck in the mud
and it’s all stagnant
in a dream
in a dream i will see you
i’m pacing back and forth
i’m pacing back and forth
but in my mind
i’m stuck in the mud
i’m stuck in the mud
it’s all stagnant
physically, physically i’m moving
i’m pacing back and forth
i’m pacing back and forth
but mentally, mentally i’m stuck in the mud
i’m stuck in the mud
and you’re a worm
i had so many plans for us
so many ideas
i thought, "things we could do but
of course everything doesn’t always come to fruition”
in a dream
i will see you
i’m pacing back and forth
i’m pacing back and forth
but in my mind
in my mind i’m stuck in the mud
i’m stuck in the mud
it’s all stagnant
physically, physically i’m moving
i’m pacing back and forth
i’m pacing back and forth
and you’re a worm
you have no feet
i’m pacing back and forth
i’m pacing back and forth
and you’re a worm
i’m pacing back and forth
i’m pacing back and forth

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)
