This car stuns bystanders Don’t get to close 4 wheel contact outlandish Spiritual donuts Tires touch down at times Planetary drive-by Comet, Nova, Eclipse Paint so wet its dry Extraterrestrial vehicular manslaughter Come for the fresh vegetables Leave with your daughter Consumptive lust from space Never needing oxygen Grill up in your face Parallel park boxing in

4.	Get on the bus 03:05	lyrics	buy track
Black cat cross my path Smells like outer space From the future and the past Put me back in my place Get on the bus Don’t ride the fence Magic is everywhere So is self defense Failure is always an option Rebel with all your heart Capital is always watching Be strategic and smart Revolution in your daily life Bikes and vegetable gardens No comrade left behind Don’t believe your heart will harden Then the cat got back in the bus And took to the sky A puddle of gasoline and Motivation to try

about

What if a black cat flew in from outer space to tell us what was up? Arriving in a 1960s style bus, the extraterrestrial feline brought wisdom and sounds from the future and the past to help liberate us. This is the message from that cat.

KMRO helped to transfer the sonic ramblings of the space cat’s visit. Offering a humble backing band for the ideas that are so timely. Be kind, revolution is within our grasp, we don’t have to live like this - there are other ways to be.

Humans are vulnerable creatures - we are defensive and often unwilling to engage with new ideas. The cat knew that articulating the revolutionary message would have to meet the humans half-way - full insight would cause our minds to melt. So the medium was through an obscure human/electronic hybrid sympathetic to the stakes of the times.

Trans/portation is available to all - get on the bus.

Creation notes
This album was recorded in January-March of 2020. It was recorded entirely DIY with home-made synthesizers, modular synths, acoustic instruments, guitars and mediocre microphones. KMRO enthusiastically uses the free audio editing software Audacity. Album was mastered in a cheap car. Thanks to Rage Cat/ Laura Keenados for the amazing cover art!

You can always reach KRMO at KMRO.org, kmroverthrow@gmail.com and via our bandcamp page - KMRO.bandcamp.com

Thanks to everyone who supported, helped us with gigs, jammed and made free-wheeling music. We love y’all!
