Busybody 01:45
Some things are better left unsaid and some things should go without saying they should remain safe in your brain where they are not allowed to see the light of day lock them away People think you're strange enough as it is So if you keep it to yourself then that should keep them out yo' bidness Yeah, mind yo' bidness You know the only person you can ever truly trust is you You know it's true So keep on doing what you do but never let on what you're up to They'll interrupt you People only know the stuff you let them So keep your secrets to yourself and let them form their own impressions Yeah, keep 'em guessing If you don't want no one to know then don't let no one know, don't let nobody know They'll never understand it anyway you know it's so, you know it's so, you know it's so... If you don't want no one to know then don't let no one know, don't let nobody know They'll only go 'round telling everyone you know it's so, you know it's so, you know it's so You know it's so fuckin' simple, you know it's so... Oh yeah, oh snap

Paperclip 02:41
Designed by science and raised by wolves Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should They gained the knowledge they made the tools And it would be a shame for us to not put them to use Da-da-da- Data! As long as we can use it where we find it doesn't matter Da-da-da- Data! As long as we can use it how we get it doesn't matter Rocket scientist number one we're on the hunt for... But once you get it you cannot give it back It's yours forever Whether you want it or not We know they're evil We know they're A-holes But we could use their know-how so let's put them on the payrolls Despite what happens we won't regret this As far as we're concerned it's technology over ethics Da-da-da- Data! As long as we can use it where we find it doesn't matter Da-da-da- Data! As long as we can use it how we get it doesn't matter Rocket scientist number one We're on the hunt for...

about

"Busybody" is the new single from Heavy No-Wave purveyors Swimsuit Area. Following their debut Ep, Occupado, "Busybody" is simultaneously more ferociously focused and more weirdly experimental than what came before; grinding up pounding no-wave, shimmering pop, stoner-rock riffs and gloriously over-dramatic vocals and filtering said influences through the band's unabashedly weird instrumental setup (two basses, drums and violin, natch).

Like the oft-overlooked Bowie album "Lodger," (with its bizarre lyrics, patchwork-pop outlook and critical discourses on abuse and gender) Swimsuit Area's music is an experiment in cognitive dissonance and "Busybody" - along with its weirdly swinging b-side "Paperclip" - will alternately confuse and delight you until you can't take it anymore.
