About the Elephant by Firebug Invasion!

For fans of Elliot Smith, Pavement, Cindy Lee, internet bedroom rock, and the fading allure of being an absolute hot mess, About the Elephant by Firebug Invasion! examines the character of a wild child through a charmingly homespun style. Songwriting methods pulled from old fashioned structures meet intense digital compression to form this deeply intimate sound, something automatically familiar to us today but ultimately timeless in composition. Each song explores a slice of life which leads us into a deepening realization of the impermanence of self-destruction, that such processes either predictably end in unceremonious ruin or a radical change of course. As we rocket towards rock bottom, we find ourselves momentarily suspended in this folksy purgatory, still motivated by that same death drive while partaking in the sort of intentional self-awareness which typically puts an end to such motivations. Until such a decision gets made, we get to live in this confessional, psychedelic world, a celebration of a key moment in life which will look a bit odd in retrospect no matter the outcome.
