about

🔊 🆙 Rev Up Musical Friends!

Un Bande à part reste un Bande.
” None band more true to that notion than The Go-Kartel…

🗓️ Nearly 20 years ago, in the comforting cacophony of Manhattan’s @FunkadelicStudios, The Go-Kartel began work on a song that never quite found its footing. Today, triangulated between NYC, ATL and DEU, it finally found its purchase.  Two decades to arrange, five days to perform, a week to mix, and an additional few tense days to debate fiercely before consensus took hold. 🤙🏻   But take hold it did. A new-old song called “Motheaten” 🦋 now lives with confidence amongst some of the best work we three lads have managed to manifest.

Thanks for your kind and attentive ears. 🦻🏻🙏🏻

lyrics

LYRICS

You’ve come so far - on a local
Your head bouncing off the glass
Just enough just enough just enough
To make the errant thought pass

Moth eaten

Nobody’s disappointed
There’s not a harsh word to say
They’re all washed down in cannonballs of California red
And coming out for sure some day

Moth eaten

You been on the shelf for so long
Maybe you’re back in style
The wallpaper won’t want to watch what comes next
Pull you downand you don’t know what you’ll find left

2 weeks more or less
I confess I get dressed
and undressed with the words
from the mess we couldn’t let rest

now we’re curled up and burrowed up
digging the whole hole up
hold up
wait up (shut up)
it’s gonna end up

Moth eaten
