Who are the people we see on social media? Friend or foe, truth and illusion are insidiously intertwined.

lyrics

It’s been a long time
I see you everyday
If we met up, we met up would you be this way?
The way you tilt your head
The better and the new
If we met up, we met up would you show me you?

Black lights bending time
Vainly in the dark we shine
Shaped into the mold
Get a grip, you’re losing hold
So cool, idolized
Zion lost in sunken eyes
Restless misery
Desperate to try and “be”

Phase, modal relay to break the bank
Craze, caught in a carnal lust for fame
Paid, false idols coo deceptively
Stay, to share your bent for dopamine
Ooo, no righteous cause or direction
Ooo, you need some love and attention now

Fall on my knees
Cry out, I need a little bit of something
Little bit of something yeah
I need a little bit of something
Little bit of something yeah
I want a little bit of something
Little bit of something yeah
I said a little bit of something
Little bit of something yeah!

It’s been a long night
We’re shifting side to side
They flip the switch, flip the switch
Now it’s cut and dry
The way you smile at me
With no duality
We flip the switch, flip the switch
Now we both agree

Drunken pantomime
Bloodshot eyes and wasted lines
Fragments globalize
We connect while culture dies
Fake gains, faded love
Praise the ego, crush the dove
Sign in, status made
Brother’s laughing, you’ve been played

Phase, modal relay to break the bank
Craze, caught in a carnal lust for fame
Paid, false idols coo deceptively
Stay, to share your bent for dopamine
Ooo, no righteous cause or direction
Ooo, you need some love and attention now

about

Jitensha Montreal, Québec

Jitensha is the garage rock love child of Erin Rose Hubbard and David Martinez. The sound is a silvery union of honey sweet proto-punkiness and modern indie that is harmonically reminiscent of 1950s rock & roll. With vocals, electric guitar and drums, stealing a niche somewhere between the White Stripes and the Civil Wars, Jitensha nestles catchy, poignant melodies into hard hitting rock grooves. ... more
