Mapache x Light My Fire

 

"Easy like Sunday Morning… Roscoe's Dream drips with escapist charm." — Mojo Magazine ★★★★ 

California-based folk-rock duo Mapache — comprised of longtime best friends Sam Blasucci and Clay Finch — share their latest preview of forthcoming record Roscoe’s Dream (out June 10th on Innovative Leisure/Calico Discos), “Light My Fire,” a cosmic cluster of unsuspecting, delicate sounds that feel like a smoldering daydream, a slow morning, or the sweet beginnings of a forever love. 

Atop the warm bounce of a perfectly saturated guitar, “Light My Fire” shines with bright strums of a campfire steel string, the rapid picking of an old world balalaika, and effortless harmonies. As the track gently transports its listeners to sun-soaked days flushed with summer love, “Light My Fire” reminds us that all we have for certain is the present moment.

Alex Maas x The City (Official Video)

"'The City' is a sort-of meditative and melancholic reflection of Americana.  The video was shot as the director independently travelled across the U.S.A.  The director tried to capture the mundanity and nostalgia of present day America on her 3000 mile journey." - Laura-Lynn Petrick (Video Director)
All the watchmen on the tower are sleeping
and the men have all gone home
now that's a city that's ripe for the taking
and behind the castle's walls the children playing
as the army plots their position
all the watchmen on the tower are sleeping
and the men have all gone home
now that's a city that's ripe for the taking
and someone took it for the love of taking
all the many broken bones the people dying
all the many burning homes the women cryin
now that's a city that's ripe for the taking
and someone took it, now it's yours for the taking
all the watchmen on the tower are sleeping
and the men have all gone home as the army starts advancing
now that's a city that's ripe for the taking
ya thats a city that's ripe for the taking
now that's ripe for the taking
now that's our city now that's our city
thats been taken - Alex Maas (Lyrics)
