Sleep 04:07
It’s early in the morning Watching the sun wake up Pale and envious I’m chasing you down the corridor I just want to shut my mind off Why so serious? Bloodshot eyes and tired sheep These empty pages, they laugh at me Holding on to sanity One more word that rhymes with… I’m thinking At least I’m drinking I don’t want to feel anything But I feel you all We’re talking At least you’re talking I‘ve got nothing to say But it’s better that way Bloodshot eyes and tired sheep These empty pages, they laugh at me Holding on to sanity One more word that rhymes with…

Broken Dance 03:52
We don't need money With a love like this, honey We're golden So wipe away your tears We'll leave around midnight Fly into the sunlight And say our goodbyes another day I've been sleeping less Please dress my wounds for me Is this all I'll ever be? We tried to make it But somehow time was taken away from me I never let you breathe This dance, let's break it The dreams we shared were all mine anyway And they're stuck behind yesterday It's me and you, honey Just me and you, honey Don't worry 'cause this is all we need And isn't it funny? To imagine that someday my name Will light up that marquee I've been sleeping less Please dress my wounds for me Is this all I'll ever be? We tried to make it But somehow time was taken away from me I never let you breathe This dance, let's break it The dreams we shared were all mine anyway And they're stuck behind yesterday They're stuck behind yesterday

Only One 04:50
Pushing a hand around the clock Just one move and all of time will stop And I’m pushing until I come undone I know I’m not the only one Wasting the hours of the day Hoping the night is here to stay And I’m chasing the moon around the son I know I’m not the only one Well these things that I’ve done They weigh me down and lord they weigh a ton I ain’t proud of the things I’ve done I know I’m not the only one Heavy, a head without a crown In these thoughts I fear I’ll drown And I’m ticking calm like a bomb I know I’m not the only one Well these things that I’ve done They weigh me down and lord they weigh a ton I ain’t proud of the things I’ve done I know I’m not the only one Pushing a hand around the clock Just one move and all of time will stop And I’m ticking calm like a bomb I know I’m not the only one Well these things that I’ve done They weigh me down and lord they weigh a ton I ain’t proud of the things I’ve done I know I’m not the only one Well these things that I’ve seen They weigh me down and lord they don’t mean a thing I ain’t proud of the way it’s been I know I’m not the only one

Palms sweaty, I’m stoned It’s 3am Gotta wake up to pay my rent Gotta wake up to pay my rent Morning comes, I’m stoned Haven’t slept at all Gotta get up after I fall I’ve gotta get up after I fall But will this all pass me by Like a long and sleepless night? Give me an eighth and a bottle of wine ‘Cause when the steps fade away From yesterday It feels like I’m living just to die Smoke’s drifting towards a narrow strip of sky Boxed in by walls on all four sides Boxed in by walls on all four sides I wish I could see from your point of view But it don’t matter what I do No, it don’t matter what I do Will this all pass me by Like a long and sleepless night? Give me an eighth and a bottle of wine ‘Cause when the steps fade away From yesterday It feels like I’m living just to die Will this all pass me by Like a long and sleepless night? Give me an eighth and a bottle of wine ‘Cause when the steps fade away From yesterday It feels like I’m living just to die

about

New York City-based four piece Gooseberry share their much anticipated debut EP, Broken Dance, via Ones to Watch, who wrote, "if you haven't heard of Gooseberry before, this EP is most certainly the perfect introduction." A bombastic, ambitious four track EP, Broken Dance sees Gooseberry thrive at what they do best: melding genres in a dynamic, thrilling fashion to create a sound that is not only unique to them, but to every song within the record. A melange of indie rock, blues, and jazz, Gooseberry prove themselves to be a band at their peak sonic creativity and cohesion.

From rolling, mesmerizing tracks like "Sleep" to melancholic slow burners like "Broken Dance," Gooseberry's sound is constantly shifting and fresh, as they effortlessly move through themes, sounds, and textures.

Gooseberry recorded this debut EP at their own studio and partly at Red Panda Recordings. The mixes were then brought to life by audio engineer dynamo, James Meslin (Dream Theater), and mastered by Colatura’s Jennica Best.
