I have a problem I ordered a book It hasn’t arrived yet I’m afraid it’s lost I searched every bookshop I looked all over town But after a long investigation I found an online vendor with a decent ethics score So I contact the vendor They say to call the shipping service The problem is that each shipping service Has subdivided itself into several services We’ve uberised ourselves to hell and back We’ve amazoned ourselves right into the wall No more public health, no more transportation We’ve micro-managed everything to ultra-crap A so-called convenience That runs on servers in Iceland I wish I had found that book Anywhere but here

Canadian ducks invading us Stealing all the jobs from our hard-working ducks Don’t you find them slightly more aggressive Don’t you find them slightly more lazy Canadian ducks, they’re so noisy Quacking all night, keeping us awake They’re just too different, They just don’t get along So shoot them on sight So we’ll be safe from Canadian ducks

There’s no more bees, we’re getting cancer from our food The people who know the most about me Are Russian bots How many children does it take To build an iphone, I forget That needs replacing every couple of years Thanks to software updates In the darkness of the bus, your blue light annoys me I’m tired of all this innovation I don’t care if my fridge talks to my watch All my childhood friends are deliveroo riders In the darkness of the bus, your blue light annoys me

Is there a place you wouldn’t burn down To make a buck and turn a profit? Is there a site you wouldn’t plunder To come out on top and assert your power? Is there anyone you wouldn’t step on In order to climb a little bit higher? Is there a sky you wouldn’t turn to And wonder if its assets are worth obtaining? Is there a human trait you haven’t researched To keep us addicted to your latest gizmo Is there a sea you haven’t chartered To build a stupid biodome or driverless jet ski Driverless cars, driverless tanks Driveless men with driverless guns If I’m not mistaken this can only end well And in case you can’t tell, yes I’m being sarcastic

When you’ve been disappointed again and again When explanations are lame You’ve been fooled more times than you can count and You’re tired of finding excuse When all your patience has been worn down and Your goodwill has been run dry Maybe it’s time to take a step aside Change is often for the best If you don’t feel you can verbalise Then something’s probably wrong And if you find you’re second-guessing every word You’ll never feel protected It can take time to learn your boundaries You’ll know them when they’ve been crossed And even if you put up with a lot Sometimes enough is enough I hope most people are decent people Some things are over and it doesn’t matter Some things are over and it’s for the better There’s no shame in getting away When you’re in a bad situation

about

The Split Screen EP emerged from a mutual encouragement between two Toulouse-based musicians who, when not playing together in the same bands (slowcore duo Docks and indie-punk quartet No Drama), release their music under the monikers Walk Home Drunk and Comité balnéaire. There are therefore many connections running through these two projects, especially since all the material for the EP was recorded in the same apartment using the same equipment and was refined in a spirit of DIY and mutual help. The split will be co-released in the UK and in France through labels Safe Suburban Home (York) and Hidden Bay Records (Toulouse), mirroring both languages sung on the EP.

• Side A by Walk Home Drunk
walkhomedrunk.bandcamp.com
Daniel Selig has been releasing music as Walk Home Drunk for the better part of a decade, sometimes collaborating with other musicians, sometimes on his own. His side of the Split Screen EP is the result of several years spent experimenting with digital synths, loops and drum sequencers. Songs emerged over time, granting each demo a specific sound and feel. The result is an EP which introduces more electronic elements to Walk Home Drunk’s lo-fi emo-pop, echoing the lyrics which mainly focus on the absurd and dangerous ramifications of modern technology.

• Side B by Comité balnéaire
comitebalneaire.bandcamp.com
Comité Balnéaire first appeared in the 2010’s when Manon Raupp used the moniker to name the audio files she recorded during a remote drawing workshop with inmates. She decided to keep the name when she later released two compilations of improvised lo-fi ambient pop using guitars and drum machines (‘I’, ‘II’). The project became more tangible in 2019 with the ‘Allégresse EP’, released on Spanish label Mondo Canapé, which also included a collage zine. The digitally-released ‘Giroflée EP’ was a further collection of contemplative audio patchworks, of which Manon hasn’t even kept a written trace. Written and recorded at the beginning of the year, the new tracks for the Split Screen EP mark a real turning point in Manon’s work as a composer (and first-time singer) of shoegaze and new wave-influenced lo-fi pop.
