1.	Out of the Blue 04:11	lyrics
Put my heart out of its misery I want to live forever Ego stronger than any steel Confidence bend under the slightest pressure Let me live in anonymity You will remember my name forever Out of the blue a cloud drifts across the sun Riding toward shore, a witch on a surfboard Let my love flow ever like the river Every man is an island I'm made up of the stars and the water Though every cell in me is defiant I feel every change in the weather Though I do my best to deny it Out of the blue tide turning toward you A drop from the ocean cause such a commotion A witch in the sunshine An angel in moonshine You who must name the nameless A spring in a desert A bottomless ocean You who must name the nameless When out of nowhere Order and chaos dance Put my heart out of its misery I want to live forever Ego stronger than any steel Confidence bend under the slightest pressure Let me live in anonymity You will remember my name forever Out of the blue a cloud drifts across the sun Riding toward shore, a witch on a surfboard Order and chaos dance
2.	Skinny Dippin' 03:25	lyrics
Gonna meet ol' Refer Sam and Hula Hula Betty Midnight at the taco stand Get that birthday suit ready baby Get your clothes slippin', oh yeah Jelly roll flippin', oh yeah Tell everybody groovin' Hey baby let's go out tonight Skinny dippin' in the pale moonlight Skater Johnny says to come down He's on the strand with some new girls in town Slick jacked some coconut rum Just wait 'til you don't see the sun Get your clothes slippin', oh yeah Jelly roll flippin', oh yeah Tell everybody groovin' Hey baby let's go out tonight Skinny dippin' in the pale moonlight Jackie met some soccer player boys Skin browned from the sun She whispers, "It's outrageous These men are even allowed to walk around" Everybody trippin', oh yeah Jelly roll flippin', oh yeah Tell everybody groovin' Hey baby let's go out tonight Skinny dippin' in the pale moon light How come you don’t wanna come skinny dippin’ You look like you wanna come skinny dippin’ Everybody wanna come skinny dippin’
3.	Love Howl 04:11	lyrics
Sounding sweet when I want to eat I'm terrifying with loving in mind I mean no harm, though I may alarm Baby don't fright, the howl is bigger than the bite Yeah do you hear my love howl? I can whippoorwill, whistle, chirp, and trill But when I snarl and growl, you know I'm on the prowl I howl with all my might, you don't hear me right Baby don't be afraid, I'm scaring everyone else away Yeah do you hear my love howl? Hear my howl calling out to you Sing from my soul and you'll know I'm true I hear her cheep and chime like a rainbow unwinds I hear her coo and cry, I'm burning with desire When my vixen screams, I know what she means Howling out loud, I ain't the biggest but I got the biggest mouth Yeah do you hear my love howl? Hear my howl calling out to you Sing from my soul and you'll know I'm true
4.	Big Woolly 04:50	lyrics
I'm out looking for a furry little mama One that I can really sink my tusks into I've been shuffling all night through the cold Looking for a woolly to have and hold Snuggle down deep deep in the glacier I got to keep you warm it's just in my nature I've been all over from Siberia to Alaska You are the furriest mama and I got to have ya I got to have you now Mammoth love I been up and down and I don't want another My mammoth mating call is louder than thunder Although I'm moving slow don't you mind my gait I got an arrow in my knee but don't ya hesitate Snuggle down deep deep in the glacier I got to keep you warm it's just in my nature In spite of these nasty hairless creatures and the changing weather Our mammoth love will only grow to live forever Our love will live forever Mammoth love Need a big woolly to hold me tight Wrap his trunk around me and make me feel right I know my woolly in the blackest of night Keep me warm in the glacier tonight Scientists are trying to repopulate the tundra Since the Pleistocene era I've been in the slumber Geneticists are talking about my de-extinction Reconstituting a 10,000 year old ecosystem I miss the mammoth steppe in Siberian Summer I've waited 4,000 years to see my little mama I remember you baby and I don't forget I came back to find out if you love me yet Do you love me yet? Mammoth love
5.	Cool Clear Water 04:27	lyrics
Like a sun white bone I'm nameless alone Like the scattering sands, with the wind I'm blown But I just keep on Cool clear water is what I crave Well the tell tale molars, ornamental star Stray ribs and femurs With a measure of peace maybe I won't need Cool clear water, baby where I'm going Well I'm going down to Tucson To that line in the sand I ain't going to shout, or raise my hands I'm going to bring to share Cool clear water with everybody there
6.	Ride the Tide 04:41	lyrics
I get so high, I get so low When sun shine, when wind blow Hey hey, I know I know My baby child, free and wild She just watch the clouds roll by Hey hey, I know I know I see two stars bound to collide One named Frost the other Fire Frost says to Fire, "I won't cry, I'm alright, I'm alright." Love is enough Don't blame love if you want too much I get so low, I get so high In desert sun, in ocean moonshine Hey hey, I know I know My baby child, she's alright She just grow a tail and ride the tide Hey hey, I know I know I see two stars bound to collide One named Frost the other Fire Frost says to Fire, "I won't cry, I'm alright, I'm alright." Love is enough Don't blame love if you want too much The endless wave, infinite dust We come together for but a moment Hey hey, I know I know My baby child, shimmer like a river In the wild night sky "Bones turn to stardust when you die" Hey hey, I know I know I see two stars bound to collide One named Frost the other Fire Frost says to Fire, "I won't cry, I'm alright, I'm alright." Love is enough Don't blame love if you want too much
7.	Tsunami 04:58	lyrics
Tension building up Stresses released into faults Tectonic mega thrust I am the One From the 10 freeway to Palm Springs Puente Hills, the Los Angeles basin Behold your empire built in sand Sinking with me into the sea I am Tsunami Catching Cascadia's tears Gathering suffering and fears You should not be here I am near From the Juan de Fuca, North American plate Cape Mendocino to North Vancouver Island Behold your empire on stolen land Sinking with me into the sea I am Tsunami Follow San Andreas Hayward, Calaveras Creeping beneath the surface I am the most dangerous The poor soil of the alluvial plain East Bay Hills, west to the Bay Behold your empire built in mud All of my fury firing at once I am Tsunami
8.	She Is Gone Again 04:03	lyrics
Now everyone is wet in Alice's tears Let's come and play a game, try and get dry again Around in circles, but who has won the race? Don't ask Alice, for she is gone again You are not attending Really what are you thinking? It is a long tale and certainly in knots Oh do let me help, you are talking nonsense This melancholy tone, why do you call it sad? Alice begins to cry, for she is gone again You are not attending Really what are you thinking? I went down in a rabbit hole No matter the size I became 9 foot high, 2 inches tall I could not get back out again Now everyone is wet in Alice's tears Let's come and play a game, try and get dry again Around in circles, but who has won the race? Don't ask Alice, for she is gone again
9.	Rolling in the Moonshine 04:25	lyrics
Searching a desert for an ocean We cross the ocean but to kiss again the land Bonnie and Clyde got nothing on you and me We belong to no one I know they will never understand The shimmer in the river Shape wind gives to water Nothing can tie us down Rolling in the moonshine Running like the river, wild The pitch black forest Moonlight hid from us Ever forward only feeling as our guide Bonnie and Clyde got nothing on us Crushed the fuck out of there It's live free or it's die trying The shimmer in the river Shape wind gives to water Nothing can tie us down Rolling in the moonshine Running like the river, wild Rolling away
10.	Weekend Mohawk 02:59	lyrics
9 to 5 only to stay alive Got to show everybody how I feel inside When I rock a weekend mohawk Though come Monday got to cut it off Friday night I'm going to rock Rock a weekend mohawk Weekend mohawk is all the rage Got to show them all I ain't another rat in a cage When I rock a weekend mohawk Though come Monday got to cut it off Friday night I'm going to rock Rock a weekend mohawk Well my weekend is gonna rock With my weekend mohawk I just hope I don't see my boss in the pit Monday through Thursday if I shuffle my feet Friday night I will be running wild in the street When I rock a weekend mohawk Though come Monday got to cut it off Friday night I'm going to rock Rock a weekend mohawk Well the smell of hairspray And the feel of leather I'm living for the weekend I don't live forever 9 to 5 only to stay alive Got to show everybody how I feel inside When I rock a weekend mohawk Though come Monday got to cut it off Friday night I'm going to rock Rock a weekend mohawk

about

Alien Ocean (2016) is Crushed Out’s most definitive, cohesive, fleshed out album to date. Frankie dubs drunken lap steel, bassy analog synths, electric piano and hammond organ, while Moselle brings her most inventive and passionate performances. Frankie's signature shimmering clean to ripping fuzz guitar tone dances from 60's surf to roaring cave creature. Alien Ocean tackles themes of order & chaos, communication breakdown, alienation, love, personal freedom, human contradiction & consciousness while keeping it heavy, fun and wet. Alien Ocean releases September 30 2016 via the band’s own imprint Cool Clear Water Records, available on limited 12” vinyl LP (pre-order here), CD, as well as all digital formats. Crushed Out hit the hot tar this Fall for a full North American tour. Look out for their live show featuring an immersive stage world complete with electric palm trees, black flamingos and much that you’d expect to find at the shores of an Alien Ocean. Over 5 years touring through 45 US states, Crushed Out has clocked 600+ shows, connecting with friends and fans in all corners of the country.

PRESS FOR ALIEN OCEAN

"Without hesitation, power duo Crushed Out kicks down the door between sunshine and incendiary on their new album Alien Ocean. The opening chords of “Out of the Blue” are as gritty as a mouthful of sand, forecasting much of Alien Ocean‘s balance between beach-pop and gloomy blues. It’s been a good long while since minimalist rock has managed to be as genuinely frenetic, endearing and unabashedly sassy as it does on this truly charming LP."
- Performer Magazine

"a perfect maelstrom of doom meets shoreline punk. Crushed Out evades the usual fare of surf rock on “Out of The Blue” with an avant-garde edge that takes the listener from the beach to a cowpunk scene instantly and seamlessly. They make use of otherwise dormant genres to craft a wholly American narrative. Alien Ocean ought to promise some satisfying dark takes on the sounds embedded in our musical vernacular."
- Elmore Magazine

"easily the most fully realized record of theirs."
- Paste Magazine

"burst of energy that fills in the end-of-summer lull quite nicely. Surf rock at its most primal."
- PopMatters

“Evocative slide guitar plays country contrast to the main echoing blues guitar, bouncing bass line, and shuffling drum beat”
-Overblown Magazine UK

"The two have surprised me beyond words with their sound. It's so refreshingly different and unconventional, so you have to give them [a few listens]. It's unlike any other surf or blues music.
- SoundKartell Germany

"The sound of surf inspired music is one that is tried and true; the direction that Crushed Out has taken it however is refreshing and new."
- Audible Addixion

"Over the years, Crushed Out has perfected their surf-rock sound and can make any day feel like a day off."
- Indie Band Guru

This just has some great vibes all around - from the energy of 56th Floor and Symphony of the ironic sympathy to the gentle, laid back Soul Keeper - it’s worth the time to listen to it all. potaytoes
