lyrics

Packages uncovered
Street signs you never saw
Some packages undelivered
Courtesy winter
You got a UPS delivery
In your area at 3:30
You got video meeting at 3:15
But it's 3:13

The packages were left-side south-side towards me
There were about 7
Outside was a cleaning lady
In snowboots there was large black dog
And the packages read:
"Under the tree
Under the tree
Under the tree"
I'd just walked past the California post office
The sidewalk was littered with scraps of gift wrap
There was an electric Divvy parked outside
With soup and bread subscription meals in the basket
...they were inside and they didn't even tip...

Anyway two weeks before with packages in my arms said
"I'll take both of you home,
I'll take both of you home"
Then I saw opened another one inside
It was a parka and a new winter hat
With a green-fuzz skull and crossbones
Something to wear at the new holiday party
Anyway then I missed another one
But now I looked like the victim of a gatehop
Packages uncovered
Street signs you never saw
Some packages undelivered
Courtesy winter
Packages uncovered
All shipping enquiries too
No shipments delivered
Courtesy winter

Puritan

The depth of the songs and sonics is profound, throughout this. I happened to run into Chris in Vermont and he humbly didn't mention what he'd been up to. Extremely happy I went on my own and found this brand new release; a GEM. David Fenichel

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

A work of considerable power and subtlety. Certainly a grower but I was hooked on first listen and it seems to improve on subsequent plays. Well done to everyone involved and good luck for the future, hopefully a long and successful future. simon1956smith
