Spill

by Dad Hats

/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    For the second pressing of Spill, we opted to create yet another version of the album art with the black variant sports the classic/iconic "Party Boy" icon while the vomit colored variant has the radical "Motormouth" icon.

    Just as we did with the first pressing, each of these center frames on the jackets were screen printed on French Paper (metallic gold and black print) and then cut down and glued onto the jacket, one at a time. This process was completely done by hand here at MOMR! The jackets themselves were once again printed reverseboard, and we even upgraded the inner dust sleeve to a fun light blue color, so there are lots of cool little upgrades on this pressing. Enjoy!

I’m crashing so hard I’m making unexplainable craters in the earth And every time I try to take control things just get worse Should clean the house Should change my name But I’m thirty-one and I’m still the same I still look every time Can’t ever help it I’m Pavlov’s dog, y’all It’s just reflexive It’s just reflexive I didn’t mean it It’s purely instinct It’s not what you think Just cash me out Let’s play the long game Just cash me out Let’s play the long game Just cash me out It feels like hell I’m in the red so deep And ding goes the bell And I can’t even practice what I preach

It happened again I’m feeling around for a light switch Can’t even be alone with my thoughts for a minute When you come on down with only a dollar You’re gonna get some dirty looks And if I’m cold and claustrophobic Then you gotta let me off the hook So let me off I’ve never been someone who could improvise But now you know why I gotta try Now I sit at the bar I’ll tell anyone who’ll listen I know things change But why’d they have to change like this? It’s a roll of the dice It’s a hang off a cliff But I lost my grip And now I’m leaving with nothing I thought you might want me back And all I had to do was keep it together But I’ll take my consolation prize Even if I like the old guy better ‘Cause I liked him better If you give me a second chance I’m probably gonna need a third When I get cold and claustrophobic You gotta let me off the hook I need a sec to catch my breath And I’m probably gonna need a third That’s what I’m saying And if I’m cold and claustrophobic You gotta let me off

I’m gonna need a whole new set of teeth I’m blowing deadlines Stuck on the top rack for too long I’m in a truck with only rear wheel drive Gasoline leaking, Rail Splitter tipping his top hat Like “Speaking of things that you forgot about” Sacrifice me to your volcano If it’ll keep your garden green And when I get from the table Wake up, eat food, don’t die Now do it all again No drink is strong enough No sleep is long enough to help When I don’t even care about Things that matter When I can’t even care about The things that I care about I’m gonna need it with aluminum Brace for reentry Egg on the concrete in mid-June I’m in a truck with only rear wheel drive Gasoline leaking, Rail Splitting winking Like “Speaking of things that you forgot about”

Spill 03:17
I’m absolutely garrulous You can stick me in the corner with the rest of the trash I’m positively zapped Then you start to think you probably shoulda never asked But then I go, And then I go Got a text when I was drunk In Eastern Standard Time Which, for someone like you Is a standard time to tell someone “goodnight” But it’s daylight where you are And vodka’s never done anybody any good So I unscrew the top Spill the bottle all over the floor Buddy, you can call me “motormouth” And you can stick me in the corner with the rest of the trash Can I borrow someone’s size 10s? Then you’re wondering if this will ever end But then I go, And then I go No amount of brand name paper towels Could ever get it all back in So I walk to the car It’s daylight where you are Technology has only come so far So I hold my stupid breath Like I’m going through a tunnel Somewhere way out west And never, ever say “goodnight” again That’s what happens when you spill your guts This is what happens when you can’t shut up This is what happens when you’re drunk as fuck This is what happens when you can’t shut up That’s what happens when you spill your guts Can’t shut up This is what happens when you can’t shut up Spill your guts

Cut it out, string it up I’m low on coffee cups Calling all power ties I know how it looks Can’t wait for summer Then I just want it to be over Yard sale clock You ticking bomb You’re counting up You’re ticking wrong So I go back in time Metaphysical rewind Channel twenty-five Kiss two years of my life “Goodbye” Tell me what I should do Salmonella’s stealing all my food Heat it up 20 times Let’s just pack the house and move Are you okay? I don’t that’s relevant I heard you shout at the radio That wasn’t me, it was someone else Looking for someone to blame I hear you, I hear you I can’t turn it off You know what they say about broken clocks
6.
Don’t mind me as I pump myself up in the mirror I don’t have all that much time So I’ve been running red lights Got online I checked the numbers from last year I’m not saying I deserve this I’m just saying they don’t need it Not like me Got out of the car Probably should have filled up the tank But I guess when this is all done I’ll just buy a new one I never get it right Even when I score Push and then I pull So what’s a safety for? Put it on my card And keep ‘em coming quicker than that I’m feeling six foot five Like I’m the fastest man alive And I can catch anything thrown my way But I just can’t catch a break Don’t mind me as I turn myself into the cops It’s funny, now you mention I need medical attention I never get it right Johnny said it all No one ever pushed me No one ever pulled But I still don’t want to live here alone
7.
I accidentally brushed your name While I was just trying to check on things back home But I’m too slow, so I guess “Hello” “Very Cool” “Anyway, I gotta let you go” ‘Cause I don’t even know who you are You’re cigarettes, you’re a brain in a jar I don’t even know who you are You’re cigarettes, you’re a brain in a jar I’m a sloppy wreck I’m a panting dog I can’t calm down So I’ll wait ‘til I get home Then there it was Blue and white I’m paralyzed Even the good memories Just take up space sometimes And it’s so simple If I want to be free of a slip of digit But I just can’t bring myself to do it, so I guess “Hello” “Talk to you next time” Then there it was Blue and white I’m paralyzed Even the good memories Feel like shit sometimes

10:00 a.m. Printer jammed I got a list as long as my leg That I gotta get through Holy shit Yeah, I know Forgot to charge my phone No, I didn’t hang up on you You know what? You’re no fun Make your thoughts Stay as thoughts Walked the dog In the rain Had to throw out half of the food in the fridge Because I’m never home 10:00 p.m. I go to bed And I got everything stuck in my head And I can’t let it go Just ignore all the smoke You can’t fix what you broke You know what? You’re no fun Take your mouth And make it shut

Did you fail to read the fine print? When you jumped up on the counter? You could probably just say you sleepwalk No one would be the wiser And then you start to learn some new tricks And your legs give way You could probably make a joke about it After all, You joke about everything else In the corner That’s not what I think about I can’t take it off That’s not what I wanna think about I’ve never really suffered real loss The kind that follows you home And it sits right behind you Making pots Go to sleep After all You sleep through everything else How can I help you get through today? I’d roll my eyes but I can’t look away All that I wanted was a proper goodbye Now I can’t leave and you won’t No, you won’t tell me why

I’m above suspicion And I’m above reproach If I get my feet a little bit wet How would anybody know? I tried to grow a spine I tried to get a life I love the taste But I hate the grind I’m doomed to repeat Life in the back seat And tear apart the floorboards looking for me Shaking when I wake up And when I brush my teeth I’m out of my depth now It’s getting hard to breathe I’m living on borrowed time As my extremities rot You’re getting emails from me Whether you like it or not I’m living on borrowed time As my extremities rot You’re getting emails from me Whether you like it or not I hate the grind

Walking home Loaded up Super Bowl Sunday Pretty cold Even for February Dust the locks Take a shot Fuck it Take another one You may have gotten away But you didn’t get away with a lot Heading home Wearing robes Super Bowl Sunday Pretty warm For February Knuckles go White like sheets You’d never steal from anybody Would you, baby?

about

Meet Dad Hats, a four-piece rock outfit from Nashville, Tennessee, whose music oozes "indie rock charm mixed with the grit of upbeat pop-punk" (thepoppunkdad.com). Their sophomore release, Spill, comes complete with earworm guitar riffs, locomotor rhythms, and lyrics that are equal parts poignant and self-depricating.

Over it's runtime, "Spill" harnesses the sound of parties you barely remember and embarrassing memories you kinda wish you could forget.

The full album releases on February 17th on digital and limited edition vinyl. The vinyl preorders will begin on February 3rd and you can pre-save the digital here on Bandcamp or via any streaming service!
