Quasi:

Lyrics:
Folly and fever,
Conspire to bring you here:
This country of such flux and fog.
A headache, so small,
Containing all there is,
Confirms you’ve been barking
Up the wrong tree again.

Ascending Olympus
To mingle with the Gods,
Your mind reassured
By such boredom.

Their dirty bathrooms
And casual disarray
Recall to your mind
The comforts of home.

But I, I float above it all -
Wizard of idleness,
Mistress of killing time:
The immortal Queen of Ears.

Meanwhile, you discover
Your legs betray your head
And lead you to the deserts of reason.
Where cardboard cowboys
And vampires of every stripe
Converge on empty schoolyards,
Rehearsing your demise.

But I, I float above it all -
Wizard of Idleness,
Mistress of killing time:
The immortal Queen of Ears.

Oh Quasi, you're back, thank GOD. We've been waiting, and we are so happy to see you.

[BunMinami]

It has the classic Quasi sound, rocksichord and all. Quality track!

[carlsbirdhouse]

I've done so many paintings through out the years to this band.

God sams voice does not age one bit. And one of the catchiest tracks you guys have ever made. Can’t wait for the album. And so stoked to see you guys in Columbus next year. I missed the Indiana show and I’m so bummed I couldn’t make it

I love it when Sams keyboard rocks like hell. Loved it when he used to hump the keyboard at shows!!!!

[trailofdad]

Please come back to Toronto. Can’t wait for the new album 👍

[kanata_guy]

first time a youtube ad showed me good music :D

[Eigenstates.]

There aren't enough like buttons. Preordered that pretty pink vinyl. Signed, the former bass player from Svelt. Miss you guys.

I found this song from a Youtube Muic ad and it was one of the few cases where the ad was better than the video

[paulc.]

The Kingston, NY show as OFF THE CHARTS AMAZING!!!

[Magiayresistencia]

0:56 I'm in love with this disonant chords. Nice job ;)

[mahayanarudy]

I haven’t been this into a new song since I was a teenager

[styloroc]

Oh man, I'm so excited you are going to play San Antonio!

[milesmccracken]

Thank the lord's of hubris you two keep writing great songs, if you play near and I hear of it, I'll be there with a rainier and a bellyache.

[Liz_noise]

Super inventive video! I love the use of all different types of cameras and a drone!

[cindylu]

I have my ticket for Oakland!!! So excited!

[elbowache]

man, they're still so cool. Can't wait for them to come to Philly! I'll try to be cool (I won't).

[jeffjensen]

Been following you since '94 and so elated to hear this!!

[sigruntorfason]

HELL YEAH! I need to sincerely thank you 2 for continuing to make fantastic music throughout the years and giving us SOMETHING to look forward to during these crazy times in Portland. When times are so uncertain and you don't know what is going to happen, being able to at least count on a new Quasi record makes this time a lot less dark. Quasi is my constant!
