Outer Shapes: “Don’t Wanna Go”

Do you wanna stay? We can’t take it for granted that Outer Shapes want to stay, even if they don’t want to go. Sometimes you want to hang out in the “in between.” But it sounds like the song’s protagonist of our highlighted track “Don’t Wanna Go” is set on staying put. At least for now. Despite having “lived on a land mine,” the lead vocals still “gotta push through.” A song-song rhythm sells the motivational speech like a woozy daydream. Watch for the subtle FX on the vocal tracks. Off TOOTHACHE.
