about
One of Dave's 60s girl-group inspired masterpieces brilliantly handled by Rob Snarski. Only previously existed on a live costar cassette. We tried to stay close to the original arrangement.
lyrics
Kiss Him (he’s history)
Kiss him and if you’re gonna kiss him
Leave him gasping for air
Twist him if he fits around your finger
Leave him dangling there
Tease him never leave him knowing
If you’re going somewhere
Leave him, when you come home
He’ll always be there
Well if you really want to know
How to break his heart
It’s easy as sin just listen to me
And get it right from the start
Kiss him, he’s history (history)
Kiss him, he’s history (history)
I don’t really want to know
Take him, take him to the places
Where the pleasure is best
Make him, make him feel he’s special
Just like all of the rest
Drive him but if you’re gonna drive him
Drive him all the way home
Leave him (sleeping)
When he wakes up he’s gonna wake up alone
Well if you really want to know
How to break his heart
It’s easy as sin just listen to me
And get it right from the start
Leaning into the sparse, impressionistic sound of 2023's albu "Nature Morte," the Montreal metallurgists sound as heavy and radiant as ever. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 21, 2024

While it's been a while since The Blackeyed Susans last official release, they've not 'been away'. They're not that kind of band. The Susans, to long term friends like me (not keen on the word 'fan' - yes, you can ask me why some time), seep into your soul and psyche, changing you irrevocably. This release maintains that potency, and possibly captures the Susans at their best.
Rob Snarski's voice remains the most beautiful in this land (probably the world, really), and he captures the mood and intent of Phil's lyrics in a way no other singer can. Phil Kakulas, Kiernan Box, Graeme Lee, Dan Luscombe Mark Dawson, JP Shilo and Matt Habben remain outstanding, and paint a soundscape that is lush, moody and electrifying.
'The Lover Or The Loved' is a beautiful musing on that confounding condition called love, one that recognises the different positions two people can take in a relationship, and how those positions impact people singularly and collectively.
'Yellow Brown and Green' juxtaposes elements of nature with the cycle of life, demonstrating the closeness of both.
'The Good Life Never Ends', a David McComb track featured in the Susans live shows, makes it on here, and it's absolutely perfect. I've always loved David's wry and humorous observations of life, and the Susans capture the mood of this song beautifully.
'Dirty Minds (for a Dirty Age)' is swampy, dirty rock at its best, and is quite revelation! Phil takes the lead, and its dirty, gutsy stuff. Love it.
Thanks for coming back, Susans, but hey, you never went away. Sarah Sparks
