we are joiners & parent teacher - song for the orca
the underground collab you've been waiting for
Release date: 10 November 2023
song(s) for the orca
There is nothing scary about this killer whale. It's raw and lo-fi, but it's not scary. Song for the Orca is a two-track collaboration between our very own New York pop genius Parent Teacher and Dutch gritty-grittier-grittiest home-tapers We Are Joiners, who we have for this occasion borrowed (or stolen) from Totally Real Records.
What can you expect? Delicate yet headache-inducing indie-noise with fuzz and a catchy undertone. Something to wake up to and doze off to. High-end fashion. Red carpet scandals, MTV worthy.

LYRICS
SONG FOR THE ORCA
Swam the ocean now I seek the light
Now we’re free your setting suns
Bring you down with the tide
Sinking down
Sinking down
Now we’re free your setting suns
Bring you down with the tide
Sinking down
Sinking down
War for harmony
On the seafloor you will be
With the waves that we’ll be free
We’ll take you down until you drown in the sea
On the seafloor you will be
With the waves that we’ll be free
We’ll take you down until you drown in the sea
Yeah just keep on telling yourself lies
You don’t own your ownership
Except for city lights
Breaking down
Breaking down
You don’t own your ownership
Except for city lights
Breaking down
Breaking down
War for harmony
On the seafloor you will be
With the waves that we’ll be free
We’ll take you down until you drown in the sea
On the seafloor you will be
With the waves that we’ll be free
We’ll take you down until you drown in the sea
Echo echo through the tide
Water rushes deep inside
We’ll take you down until you drown in the sea
Echo echo through the night
Take you down into the tide
Water rushes deep inside
We’ll take you down until you drown in the sea
Echo echo through the night
Take you down into the tide
It’s alright.
SECRET BLUES
I lost my secret blues
& eerie moods, alright
I'm on needles and pins
I frown a 100 frowns, nosedive
& eerie moods, alright
I'm on needles and pins
I frown a 100 frowns, nosedive
Caught up in this moment
Comes a time
When our ways of knowing will arise
Comes a time
When our ways of knowing will arise
I lost my secret blues
In hairy zoo delights
Get up and tell me now
Is it too loud or quiet?
In hairy zoo delights
Get up and tell me now
Is it too loud or quiet?
Caught up in this moment passing by
Led up to the moment you'll be mine
Led up to the moment you'll be mine
Make-believe
We have overbleached
And I know that this real love
Is hard to find
Summerset, you play hard to get
And I know that I can surely make it right
What there is to know...
I'm just cold
I dream of different times
There for sure
We have overbleached
And I know that this real love
Is hard to find
Summerset, you play hard to get
And I know that I can surely make it right
What there is to know...
I'm just cold
I dream of different times
There for sure
