🔊 🆙 🎉 Happy New Year Musical Friends! Big Announcement!
I know we’re a little early, but we got global time zones to serve, so read below, woncha?
Please to Prick Up Your Eyes + Ears,
for today The Sky Blue Sound Collective
is offering a special welcome to 2023…
It’s gonna power-pop your
New Year’s booty-bop,
albeit with a lookout
for a rest stop.
“Settle For Tonight:
The Triumphant Return of
The Go-Kartel”
🏎️ 🎸 🎹 🥁 💨
Three Old Friends,
New Yorkers All,
Be It Present or Past,
All Together Again.
Again.
In a manner of speaking…
Defying geography may be one of the few blessings I could bestow on this dark medium, the internet; one that can summon back The Go-Kartel yet again, for the Nth time in their long, lazy-crazy love affair with New York City, Power-Pop, and quite frankly, Each Other.
For more than 20 years now, this trio has been been making music together in some manifestation or another. If you don’t count the rest stops.
So we’re not really ACTUALLY together, as we three are now spread across the world, from NYC to ATL and straight on til DEU. But we have traversed digitally the distances and defied the daily demands of life, to make a happy little something of a tune, a HNY salutation to you all… 🎉
So without further purple prose, Sky Blue Sound presents the first TGK offering since 2017.
Thanks all, for reading and listening… We wish the lot of you a smooth transition into 2023.
Be Kind. Be Angry.
Be Tolerant. Be Well.
☮️💟
Sky Blue Sound + The Go-Kartel
lyrics
I would go
Anywhere you wanna go I could day-trip with you
All night long
And we’ll come back
Once we’ve had enough
(Of all that stuff)
We’ll find some tiny town
Where we can settle down
Have a look around
Settle down
Settle for tonight
We’ll settle
Settle for tonight
If we lived here
We’d be home right now
But until then we’ve got to
Settle for tonight
The day’s not over
Till we see the morning light
I won’t stray
From anywhere you wanna stay
I could bed-in with you
Everyday
We won’t wake up
Until we’ve had enough
(Of all that stuff)
Then we’ll find Some mountain town
Where we can settle down
Stop our runnin’ round
Settle down
But until then we’ll have to
Settle for tonight
The day’s not over
Til we see the morning light
But until then we’ll have to
Settle for tonight
The day’s not over
Til we see the morning light r
Then we’ll settle down
We can settle down
We’ll settle for tonight
We’ll settle

Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2023
Norwegian power pop outfit founded by members of black n' roll heavyweights Kvelertak strike a perfect balance between catchy and caustic. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 9, 2022
