Spiwizzle At first, it seems a bit amateurish compared to Shrimp Olympics' later catalog. But then, you notice little flashes of brilliance, at that point, you have begun to realize the masterpiece that is evenings. It's so fun and innocent seeming, but under that shell is an incredible listening experience! Favorite track: SIDE B.

someday you'll know why I showed you the things I show but even if you question me you know that I will always show my truest love I think my skin is turning pink from all of the shrimp that you fed me you killed me with your eyes when you told me it was only lies I know it's not mine I know that it's hers and it's his and it's everyone's although the evenings are calling, the morning comes without a sound, outside my window they are crawling in the dirt that's underground, you know I'm talkin about snakes a snake is really quite the creature, the way they slither all around, they build their houses in the shadows of the people in the town only a second of time is spent making a dent in the way you're living take my advice and try to run away you won't get tired of me cause I don't have much time to jive about well I'm taking my time wondering if you're mine cause I don't have much more time you know that the rivers a giver of love it's a tool I'll send you a letter but don't get the thought that it's cool but when you get my letter it may be soaked by the river that carried it I couldn't do much better in terms of transportation task what a task to watch me when I'm drunk im living by myself hole what a hole you show me what you know I think I'm alive no, as I wait in the sun for my love I get high but you know I cannot wait to see the eyes of a brand new face shining through the lace in another different place Oh you know it's untrue to say that I didn't want you to come because I did you know I did you wrong you know I did you wrong If you touch me in the right place you know you're gonna make me free you always touch me in the right place that's what I find lay down

Well I'm a child of nature of the water and the land it's not hard to make a plant grow when you're very friendly with the sand you stick your fingers in the ground fertilize the soil with your hands life is paradise and it's so nice to take your time with what you seek and it's easy so easy to be what you want to be you've got the sun in your hair and that's the reason why you're free soon you will get older and there will be nothing left to do the air is getting colder but the sky is turning blue with my shaky knees im a fever tree for you it feels so good to know I'm myself and in turn to burn all concern for my health in style the dial tone drones on there, assisted by the water's buoyancy I will sit right down when he picked up his plate..sitting in the garden at the house inside a can socrates eating dinner then he finds his bracelets in the sand socrates had finished dinner washing all his plates tossed aside the tofu he'd been dicing now for days im in love with the sky that's under your eyes ive been touching the wire, the sweetest floral design i know you may think of me as the kind of person baby who is always at a loss for words but this time I was really lost I'll tell you now you never crossed my mind this time

about

the first real shrimp olympics album. an album made by me at the age of 19-20. this is pretty much my first attempt at an actual cohesive album as opposed to a collection of songs. i started recording in june 2016 and finished it up about a year later. i chose to leave the 2 sides intact because streaming on bandcamp sucks. if you prefer to listen to it track by track, check it out on spotify or pretty much any other streaming service. THANK U!!!!!
