Pharaoh 03:23
Where would you look If you had nothing to find And where would you sleep If there was nowhere to hide No signs of life – weighing you down No signs of life – to figure you out How can you speak When there is nothing to say And how can you breathe When it’s been taken away No signs of life – weighing you down No signs of life – to figure you out Standing there like a pharaoh Arms crossed like a pharaoh Standing there like a pharaoh What can you do With daylight fading away And what should we dream Before the end of the day?

Come On 02:55
Everybody needs a little help sometimes Living in the minute – unraveling like twine So don’t hesitate All this can wait Come on! Hanging on a moment and thinking it’s a lot Feet out in the gutter – watching the stream go by Alright So don’t hesitate All this can wait Grab your coat and lock the door right now Come on! No matter what you’ve got you’re sinking all the time Waiting on a message – burning up the switchboards at night Alright So don’t hesitate All this can wait Grab your coat and lock the door Grab your coat and lock the door Grab your coat and lock the door right now Come On!

There’s not enough sunshine in the world – I’m the Bedazzler On your jacket, on your back pocket – I’m the Bedazzler Light you up like a million stars A Spotlight shining straight from Mars, yeah I’m the Bedazzler! Debonair, a solar flare – I’m the Bedazzler Strut the hall like a disco ball, yeah I’m the Bedazzler Like champagne, right to the brain You’re never ever gonna be the same ‘cause I’m the Bedazzler C’mon girl, take me home – I’m the Bedazzler You look so good, don’t leave me alnoe – I’m the Bedazzler No human being can resist my charms Sequins up and down my arms, yeah… I’m the Bedazzler

Rosemarie 02:44
I don’t mind – wasting my time I don’t really care as long as she could be here standing next to me Stands on the corner – red scarf adorns her I don’t really care ya know – she could be here standing next to me Rose Marie – Across the street Pictures at night – losing our light I don’t really care as long as she could be here lying next to me Gently she hovers – whispers in color I don’t really care ya know – she is here lying next to me Rose Marie – Crossed the street She came along – at the right time

Runner 03:25
I – I’m a runner And you – you get me high Not another summer And girl – you get me high Nothing to do But lie around and crush on you Pass me a number Together we’ll get high Never thought I would make it But now – I know that we’ll get by Nothing to do But lie around and crush on you I’ve been dreaming of photographs The ones with your mom and dad Can’t wait until tomorrow I’ve been telling the same old jokes Living on rum and cokes Can’t wait until tomorrow You get me high…

Leading by a mile And I’m curious - what’s up with you know? Puzzles and maps Connecting as we go past And I wonder- where your heart is now? And how our hearts unwound I can figure you out Yeah, I can figure you out I can figure you out Just give me a chance Caught – by surprise Something in your eyes Do you ever - think about what became of us Nothing these days I can trust Figure out...

Pictures 03:11
See your face come into view A single frame at high altitude One second of one day More pictures to take Red light in a darkened room Hiding out till the flowers bloom So many things to say More pictures to take At the speed of light There’s just such fascination Speed of light Eyes play tricks on nature Speed of light There’s always such danger Oh love in an acid bath Captured moments in the distant past So good from far away More pictures to take Don’t worry that way More pictures to take

Already Know 02:34
I’m just hanging out Looking up getting down You just blew my mind And I’m shaking You just cut my cord To the tired and the bored Let’s stay up all night I’m a waiting Forget all the circumstances ‘Cause round and round they go I can’t tell you a thing ‘Cause you already know Something in this ride The world outside Roll that window up ‘Cause I’m shaking Don’t need to wear white Getting married tonight Drinking whiskey alright I’m shaking…

about

Most of their new eight song Midtown Sizzler was recorded with John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr., Hold Steady, Kurt Vile) at Water Studios in Hoboken, NJ. As Mr. Agnello says, “They contacted me and I checked out their music and I loved it! They have all these wonderful influences of music I love. They write great melodies and they know hooks. It’s a pleasure working with strong characters with strong opinions who are also open to outside ideas.”

Two songs (pre-single “The Bedazzler” and “Runner”) were recorded with Jack Endino at Soundhouse in Seattle, and mixed by Martin Feveyear on Vashon Island.

Cover photo by Meryl Meisler from her book Purgatory & Paradise SASSY '70s Suburbia & The City. Official release date is Friday August 4th. All songs written by Ben London, and performed by STAG.

about

Stag Seattle, Washington

STAG has a riff-centered sound that’s both nostalgic and contemporaneous; equal parts romantic angst and sexual tension; vibrantly commercial yet comfortably in the red.
