lyrics
I carried all his clubs across the green golf course
I wore the crisp white shirts with the little horse
And then Penelope’s dad, he’d call for me
I’d dance for him before he dashed off to the symphony
I learned to love my puppet strings and the string quartets
I grabbed his tennis balls in between his tennis sets
I studied silverware, I watched the length of my hem
Hoping one day I’d be one of them
But old money likes old metal now
Beethoven’s too hard to take
They want Poison and Whitesnake
I’m saying hi to that lowbrow
Cause old money likes old metal now
Fresh from school and named executive assistant to Penelope’s dad
Twenty-five years and it’s the only job I’ve ever had
I jumped all over the board like a little chess piece
But I guess they don’t play chess no more, I missed the press release
Tonight I wear my cut-off shorts, beer in a plastic cup
The light’s too bright but it’s 80’s night and it’s filling up
Penelope’s dressed for the lumberyard
But she’s got the softest hands
I brought my business cards but
She’s just here to hear the cover bands
I wore the crisp white shirts with the little horse
And then Penelope’s dad, he’d call for me
I’d dance for him before he dashed off to the symphony
I learned to love my puppet strings and the string quartets
I grabbed his tennis balls in between his tennis sets
I studied silverware, I watched the length of my hem
Hoping one day I’d be one of them
But old money likes old metal now
Beethoven’s too hard to take
They want Poison and Whitesnake
I’m saying hi to that lowbrow
Cause old money likes old metal now
Fresh from school and named executive assistant to Penelope’s dad
Twenty-five years and it’s the only job I’ve ever had
I jumped all over the board like a little chess piece
But I guess they don’t play chess no more, I missed the press release
Tonight I wear my cut-off shorts, beer in a plastic cup
The light’s too bright but it’s 80’s night and it’s filling up
Penelope’s dressed for the lumberyard
But she’s got the softest hands
I brought my business cards but
She’s just here to hear the cover bands

Back On The Music!
by Paul CherryI adore his oddball jazz/pop sensibility. Never in my wildest dreams did I envision someone bringing early-80's lite-jazz influences (hello Michael Franks!) to cool indie kids. PAUL DID IT!!

Dreamer is out of this world. Amazing mix of influences. There are bangers here, but also laid-back soul, itchy indie guitar, and sharp political critique. Check "Cookout"!
go to album -
Awesomely ambitious record, incorporating Kinks, Bowie, and T. Rex, with super-groovy avant-garde production. Love the vision and can't wait to see where they go next.

When I first heard this record I knew it was special. I immediately bought it after the first listen. As a music enthusiast Femina Furens is an incredible album and one of my favorite releases that I have heard in a long time. I'm excited to hear future material from Djunah. This band is really something special and deserve immediate attention. Thank you Djunah for the amazing music!

The second EP from UK duo Pecq features bubbly synthpop swirled with a bright psychedelic haze.
