Could you pick me up? Brand new sportscar We could go flying over highways till we rip apart Heavenly bodies might be just a state of mind And we could kiss and make up on the edge of paradise I’ll meet you on the other side I’ll meet you on the other side I’ll meet you on the other side Of paradise (paradise) Meet you on the other side I’ll meet you on the other side I’ll meet you on the other side Of paradise (paradise) Can you hear the angels cry? Can you see past the light? Does it stay on your mind? Is there life after life after life? Talk it out but we both know We both know how that shit goes Can we jump dimensional? The only way is vertical Faster, quicker, vertigo Adrenaline rush, chemical Traffic lights, all red and gold Come on, make our bodies glow Set fire to everything we made Can we try again? Take it renegade? Extraterrestrial, new life in outer space Haven’t I told you? Ego death’s a great escape Could you pick me up? Brand new sportscar We could go flying over highways till we rip apart Heavenly bodies might be just a state of mind And we could kiss and make up on the edge of paradise I’ll meet you on the other side I’ll meet you on the other side I’ll meet you on the other side Of paradise (paradise) Meet you on the other side I’ll meet you on the other side I’ll meet you on the other side Of paradise (paradise) Top down, open road Tyres burning, breaking bones DeLorean with the silver coat Like the way I make your body glow Freeze time, never take it slow Headlights blazing, danger zone Swerve lanes, hit the radio Let it scream my name outta your windows Blind you with headlights when I come on over And driving you wild, million miles every hour Yeah do it like Kanye yeah smash your Corolla I’m one of a kind, come on kneel at my altar Spray it, paint it, all new metallic Intertwine, make it magnetic Ignore the signs, rev it, hit it Hyperspeed, take off in a rocket Pop, drop and roll Hit that gas pedal Yellow, red and chrome Sportscar, let’s go Pop, drop and roll Hit that gas pedal Yellow, red and chrome Sportscar, let’s go

REALITY TV 03:26
Live for your limelight, think you're my superpower Run on delusional hysteria for hours Wait - to reiterate, should I sing that one line louder? Problematic that I feel alright only when around you Pick another fight, this is reality TV Point another finger 'cos the problem can't be me What do you mean my "self-obsessive tendencies"? Project me pixelated, glitter on your silver screen (Action) Turn away, shrug your shoulder Swear I wanna try to smooth things over Wanna come stay over? Do all of the things we're not supposed to? Should I block your number? Nah, how the fuck am I meant to call you? Should I maybe call you? (Hello?) Get the cameras, hit the lights Let's break the ratings tonight Get me starry eyed, we're on in five Now let's overdramatise Fake another smile, say we're fine Think we've crossed too many lines Can we make this right, just one night Just so I can feel alive? Triple-oh, it's criminal Switch up on me, mentally remote controlled I'll count up all my feelings, turn them digital Make 'em spill out of your telephone Better, better, come on make it better I'll fight your demons 'cos I can't face mine Ignoring all my messages, it's social suicide You're an addiction, holy and divine If I put you on a pedestal, would that be alright? Turn away, shrug your shoulder Swear I wanna try to smooth things over Wanna come stay over? Do all of the things we're not supposed to? Should I block your number? Nah, how the fuck am I meant to call you? Should I maybe call you? (Lights, camera, action) Get the cameras, hit the lights Let's break the ratings tonight Get me starry eyed, we're on in five Now let's overdramatise Fake another smile, say we're fine Think we've crossed too many lines Can we make this right, just one night Just so I can feel alive? Get the cameras, hit the lights Let's break the ratings tonight (This is reality, reality TV) Get me starry eyed, we're on in five Now let's overdramatise (This is reality, reality TV) Fake another smile, say we're fine Think we've crossed too many lines (This is reality, reality TV) Can we make this right, just one night Just so I can feel alive? (This is reality, reality TV)

D-TRIPLE-U 02:52
Game face on under a disco ball Until my nose bleeds, drippin’ down your thighs Told you I wanna have fun, might do another one Oh yeah, crush, crush, baby, that’s a lie! Baby, you’re a superstar - yeah, one of a kind Wanna get to know you and do everything you like Kinda wanna get freaky, think that I can see it in your eyes When we’re done, do it over all again online Sweat and smoke on the window panes I won’t stop crying, I won’t stop crying Until the walls are banging, you’re calling my name I won’t stop crying, can I dance with you? I get high, alive, hypermanic overdrive Synchronise our heartbeats and drown out the warning signs So low when you go, it’s neurochemical Clutching empty sheets and afterglow Click, click take a pic, post it on your grid You know tonight’s one you’ve gotta digitise Could be blowing up the internet - yeah, rake in the likes Pouring down like cash money, a legendary high Sweat and smoke on the window panes I won’t stop crying, I won’t stop crying Until the walls are banging, you’re calling my name I won’t stop crying, can I dance with you? I get high, alive, hypermanic overdrive Synchronise our heartbeats and drown out the warning signs So low when you go, it’s neurochemical Clutching empty sheets and afterglow I get high, so high, under disco lights Run your fingers through my hair, electrify my spine Uh oh, where’d you go? Why’d you leave me all alone? Fading out of focus in slow-mo D-TRIPLE-U, can I dance with you? D-TRIPLE-U, can I dance with you? D-TRIPLE-U, can I dance with you? D-TRIPLE-U, can I-I dance- The walls are banging, you’re calling my name I want your fingers clutching my brain The walls are banging, you’re calling my name I want your fingers clutching my brain

about

the celestial euphoria, the turbulent infatuation, and the inevitable implosion of a crush.

i wrote this EP through naarm / melbourne's 2020 lockdown, and i view these five tracks as a musical self-portrait of growth and honest self-examination.

bottled up into five tracks, KRUSHED! is a collection of some of the most all-consuming emotions i've felt in my lifetime, and i'm grateful i've had a chance to capture them at their fullest. as whimsical as the concept of a crush seems, i think that the intensity of this neurochemical whirlpool is something you get to experience one time - teetering at the edge of melodramatic adolescent innocence, before the maturation and rationalisation that comes with a developed prefrontal cortex. (i used to study a biology major lol).

in addition to pulling upon the energy and liberation of dancefloors in melbourne and berlin, the world of KRUSHED! takes inspiration from the vastness of 2000s pop hits and Hare Krishna congregational chants that pervaded my childhood.

welcome to KLUBKAVI - a dystopian bunker rave at the end of a world shattered by a crush, and a 24/7 party of queer kids of colour who don't quite know where to exist. we have beanbags, free watermelon and free vapes. stay as long as you'd like <3
