Poison 03:02
dug your feet into the dirt waited for some roots felt something sprouting swore it was coming soon spent the time, took a dive landed nowhere fast stood out like a fire burning in the sun you cannot see what's behind a closed door you cannot hold the lightning in a storm bloated head fell again against the windowpane the poison and the serum they taste just the same crystal gaze held for days crosseyed at the void swear you saw an answer speaking a brutal truth spent the time took a dive landed nowhere fast stood out like a fire burning in the sun you cannot nurse a passion thats felt old you cannot hold a lover that's turned ice cold bloated head fell again against the windowpane the poison and the serum they taste just the same

Ham Sandwich 02:13
and they're laughing in an ivory tower and you bought it for them and they think it's funny and they're laughing because you're at the bottom and you built it for them and they think it's funny and they're laughing because you fight over a ham sandwich because you're hungry and it's not funny and they're laughing because they got a pile of ham and they'd never give it to you and they think it's funny

110 Blues 03:49
we were riding the lines/late last night/we thought that we/had it all/taking in the sights/avoiding cherry lights/we thought that we/had it all this city spills out like broken glass/will the shards/rip us up/or not i don't wanna let the city break us down/ and be another ruined by the broken glass town the shards can snag/ and take their toll/they can leave you/ bloody and sore/ it's reflection can shine/ in your eyes/ it can leave you/ penetrated to your core when midnight's over/and the sparring's done/ will we feel like/ if we've won idon't wanna let this city spit us out/ and be another one chewed up by the broken glass town

Amethyst 07:42
How's it feel to be protected? Seems like you could use some help. Clenching on that amethyst, That explains your good health. How's it feel to be on your own now? Looks like you're better off. Keep holding on to your amethyst, Who knows when your luck will run out.

she get's out of the brushes at the crack of dawn sun exposes the castle that she live on it's a mansion of trash and rubble in her place the cigarette butts and mcdonald's cups illuminate her space treasures decorate her walls like the castles on her tv the guard, the map, the walls, the craft, the moat, the swan, the piles and her fawn in her kingdom she sits in a window and surveys all her waste the garbage it runs rampant through her bed and in her halls she says a billion people on this earth and i don't need one of them at all treasures decorate her walls like the castles on her tv the guard, the map, the walls, the craft,the moat, the swan, the piles and her fawn in her kingdom in her kingdom of shit

When I saw you last night, you were a different person. With the stars in your eyes, now the knife's in your side. When I saw you last night, you drank from the moon. You drank it from a broken glass, now there's blood in your mouth. When I saw you last night. When I saw you last night, your fangs where showing. You kept silver in your pocket, but now you're dead broke. When I saw you last night, I couldn't stand the sight at all. I was looking at a cracked mirror. I was looking at myself. When I saw you last night.

about

Omaha, NE musician David Nance is nothing if not prolific. Over the course of the past six years, he has released three full-length albums for labels Grapefruit and Ba Da Bing, a 7-inch, numerous cassettes, CDRs, and unlicensed "cover albums" of artists like Lou Reed, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Doug Sahm. His latest full-length is credited to the "David Nance Group" and features Nance alongside his recent hot-shit live band of fellow Omaha musicians; guitarist Jim Schroeder, bassist Tom May and drummer Kevin Donahue.

Appropriately, the album is called "Peaced and Slightly Pulverized" as the sounds contained therein are alternatingly tender & brusque. Nance has an enviable way of conveying intensity and pathos in his music without necessarily resorting to clicking on a distortion pedal, instead relying on the build-up and tension from the interplay of his bandmates with his cracked, impassioned wail. There's also plenty of fuzz and distortion too, from the anthemic "Poison" with its fuzzed-out guitar riff that leans into a Crazy-Horsian guitar maelstrom and white-hot solo, to "Ham Sandwich"; a blisteringly frantic rant about a lunchtime torment - uncomfortable in its directness. Respite comes with "110 Blues"s languid late-night desert psychedelia, and side one closes with the epic seven-and-a-half minute "Amethyst", expanded & jammed upon from 2017's Richie Records single into an emotional odyssey with Nance & Schroeder strangling their guitars into a twin-guitar, barbed-wire duel. The album's centerpiece is "In Her Kingdom", an emotive ballad that fades into view with a plaintive guitar strum, and over seven minutes ebbs and flows with a rising tide of swelling guitars, its riffs gilding the melody & adding flecks of gold to Nance's tale of poverty and grace. Alternately, "When I Saw You Last Night" stalks the night like a predator, finally finding its prey two and a half minutes in with a stinging, blood-drenched guitar solo. The album closes with "Prophet's Profit"'s biting commentary on false idolatry that again utilizes the group's not-so-secret weaponry of Nance and Schroeder's six-string simpatico to bring the listener home.
