about

David Keenan's musical output shows no signs of fatigue as he
expands on his latest album "Crude" (December 22) with the new "CRUDE BOYO EP"- due to be released in March via Barrack Street
Records with debut single "Aldente Pasta" coming out on February 17th.

The new songs explore such things as a couple's defiance, an ode to hometown tribalism, and coping with digital bombardment.

As well as offering a study on human connection, "Aldente Pasta" also gives us an example of the new musical dynamics being explored. Saxophone, Double Bass , Piano and Jazz chord combinations hint at new textures, all the while maintaining Keenan’s trademark social commentary
.
David is back on the road in 23’ for his CRUDE TOUR with European and Irish dates already announced & more to be added.See davidkeenan.com for further information.

lyrics

Aldente Pasta

Remonstrations, I set out to bridge the gap from head to mouth
and as the wind stank from the south, we turned to face the morning
A cubist bruise upon your leg informed me of the war you fled
must I now dance for scraps of bread at the table of your denial
You let me in with stolen keys, the weak the whiplashed came in threes
all pleading for some clarity and new life into their lungs
our necks like tangled swans all calm above the water all above board for now at least

There's specks of paint chipped off the walls
The mirror has lied since Valentine's but as soon as we speak openly new hope it is restored
We've been around the blocks, the lanes, the sky has been pockmarked by the cranes
No one's too lost, no one's to blame for wanting to be loved
We want to be with love, we want to be with love...
As it is written off.

Look at you, you're better now
That anaphylactic shaking scowl has altered into something that could fill an empty space
This city stinks of sex and weed, the narrow minded streets recede revealing some new truths to me, if you give a dog a bone it may follow you home and claim you led it on...

There's specks of paint chipped off the walls
The mirror has lied since Valentine's but as soon as we speak openly new hope it is restored
We've been around the blocks, the lanes, the sky's still pockmarked by the cranes
No one's too lost, no one's to blame for wanting to be loved
We want to be with love, we want to be with love...
As it is written off.
