about

From the upcoming EP 'How I Lost My Voice' out on 6/03 via Velvet Blue Music.

As Jamey Bozeman cobbled the songs together that would become Golf Slang’s next EP, “How I Lost My Voice,” he found himself in a brightly-decorated Airbnb in Florida on vacation, a respite from the pandemic and his duties as a priest in the Eastern Orthodox church.

“I had been doing work on some rather dark instrumental material, and the bright ‘Florida colors’ of the space offered an inspiring counterpoint to what I was writing,” Bozeman said. “I came home with some photos of the Airbnb and some new song ideas, which I filed under the working title of ‘Fantasy Island.’ And so a theme kind of evolved from the trip. I wanted this record to feel kind of sad and to sound pink.”

lyrics

Half light on,
An evening stroll
Old men complain
Sunbathers squeeze the last life out of the sun

She takes the distance in even strokes
Far out where the deep begins to roll

Smile at the blind man, he won’t care…
Laugh for the deaf-mute, she can’t hear...

Mind the time
The waves and the tide,
consuming all

She takes the distance in even strokes
Far out where the deep begins to roll

Smile at the blind man, he won’t care, but God sees everything
Laugh for the deaf-mute, she can’t hear, but God hears everything

Half light on,
An evening stroll
Old men complain
Sunbathers squeeze the last life out of the sun

The lyrics, vocals and music make me feel things. The sounds are evocative of a time gone by yet couldn't be more now. One of my favorite bands. amylynn11

Nice to see that some Christian musicians from my youth haven't lost their minds. Nice track that sounds fresh but isn't a dramatic departure from past Joy Electric. bendonahower
