Sign 01:22
Tryin to be good Lookin for a sign A sign that says that they all love me We Can't all be the same And I'm the one to blame When I get let down from their lack of Lust Lust for the cause Need to hear sound Want to have drinks Have them around Get in my car And drive to Any place with friends So I can feel real whole again
2.
Chris Takes 02:49
Leave my phone out on the breakfast table I'll be down waiting for you But ya call 6 times in 20 minutes Makes me wanna get something new So you're over past McCampbell Running through the yard I hate to see you coming Hate to see you coming Smile on your face Red as an apple Over my turnstile Onto my tongue You always wanna be here Talking to Chris through the alphabet Seeing why I'm gonna be late He's gotta be the big boss with a good reception Hoping he can put 'em on break So you're climing all the ladders Over the stage Smoking a butt And living with grace Loving all the good ones Leaving the bad Upward and over Into your life I always wanna be there

Disc 01:56
Down to the water's edge Feel my face getting cold Don't want my friends to see it They're pretty cool And so I have to hide That I might be a loser I dont wanna go back Don't wanna go back I don't wanna go back Don't wanna go back I dont wanna go back Don't wanna go back I don't want to go back to Being alone What could I have possibly thought I can feel their love Straight through these trees I'm just paranoid Such a wonderful fuck I feel when I realize it But no don't go back I dont wanna go back I don't wanna go back Don't wanna go back I dont wanna go back Don't wanna go back I don't want to go back to Being alone

hen you're looking at me Look into space Straight to the arrow end of my life I don't know what you see In the path of me But I know it's the same thing that I see now Put a rocket to spain I wanna say your name In the air on the top Top of my new bed Nike swoosh sideways Kick it to me good I like this a lot And you know I'm….. You got it You got every little trinket in this house of faith House of faith I've got in front of me, the list is long, it's all scribbled down Let's clean it up Clean it up, before we get too old, baby I'm lost

Jacob 03:06
Will I survive Will I live I don't wanna be Anything Jacob says That I'm ok He's probably right I believe what he says Walk back inside Into my bed And close my eyes To what he said That I'm ok If he's right That I'm ok If he's right That I'm ok If he's right Sometimes I feel like he's my only friend But then I open up and let them in What was wrong I could wander through my mind till i'm underground But I won't, I'm too fuckin strong
6.
Dog 02:47
You're just a dog I'm just a dog Wish we could be real Wish we were dumb While we're walking the street Thoughtless and drag Feet on the pavement I wish I haaaaaad Looked at my phone Nobody's home Why would I feel good when This dog is alone Meaningless hack Friends looking bored Tossing him to the curb But really I wish I haaaaad YOU Slimy and thin Sad little pup I'm feeling guilty For what I've done But I just can't Can't turn around Can't save the helpless Dog that I love But in his eyes He knows the truth See his skin crawling Relaxing too We're just the same Same as before Accepting the process And waiting for more If you ask for a gift You'll be tried For asking it When you see what you've lost You'll be known For what you've done
7.
Waiting for the rock I was perplexed by the storm under you Leaving while I was gone Blowing your nose and stretching holes in your shoes Together under rain of guitars and drums I am the master of sound You are my hand in hand of danger now
8.
Gross 02:25
I woke up with my face inside the bowl And I looked into a pool of blood Checked my head like feeling a rubber turtle shell And I didn't know where I was But right underneath All the wavy red streaks Was a picture of me Gross Gross Gros-I passed out on the coldest floor of tile Frontwards backwards and Upside down
9.
Cat 03:49
If you wanna be my friend I've got two spots At this soft opening You'll have to wait in this line Oh yeah, it's invisible Hold me down Into the bottom Of your big mouth And into the sea Of your white house Where my body leaves You're waiting on a sign You're waiting just for me To take you home Two little kids with their bikes Smiled at me They knew the truth Sick of asking for advice On the streets I know I'm not gonna get it
10.
Sorry 03:06
I've got a lot of things That I wanna say Like a snake in the grass Or your mom in a cage And I'm holding on to you But with much less grace I should've shut you out When you walked in Like an ant on a leash Or a cut on your shin And I'm letting you go Like you didn't exist But when you're running faster Running out of time The only thing to do is black it out and blister Oh hold on a sec I've got two more cents On my dollar half And it's too late to care So I'll hold it back The point of writing slow Is to get on with it Like a "race" around the globe Or fire with sticks But you're missing the point That's something I can't fix So when you're running faster Running out of time The only thing to do is black it out and blister
11.
I was lost But I'm found It felt cold Just to be around And the simple part of me Wants nothing but to see you leave And never come back again Take all the magic you stole Share all the distance we drove Cause I always wanted Cause I wanted to be part of a team Drifting into left field and shattering me I'm the same as I was at the bottom of this But you're a total mess Total mess Total mess Total mess

about

You can now buy this cassette through store.jurassicpoprecords.com/products/slanted-forever until I grab my copies and can put them up for sale on here!

All songs (except Little Pocket/Bread House Bonanza*) on Forever were recorded at the Tidwell's in Donelson, a suburb of Nashville, TN by Casey
Weissbuch.
Little Pocket/Bread House Bonanza was recorded at Peachtree in Nashville, TN.
Slanted is Casey Jordan Weissbuch.

"With songs from the slightly twisted mind of drummer Casey Weissbuch, Slanted’s new album, Forever, could be a hell of a listen for most fans of fuzzy pop. Weissbuch, who’s previously worked with Diarrhea Planet, Colleen Green, and Mitski, is a master of lo-fi creations, something that’s evident in the track The A.V. Club is premiering exclusively"
- The A.V. Club

"Listening to a few tracks from Slanted, I can assure you that while the recordings may be a bit primitive, this band is true-blue. From the mouths of basement babes, their track “Gross” is a keeper if there ever was one. Reading like very early depiction of Built to Spill and even Modest Mouse, these boys know how to make a ruckus and a melody."
- Lo-Pie

"Slanted's music takes me right back to my high school days, before the internet, where I tried to find cool music by listening to Princeton College radio, recording 120 minutes to VHS, and buying records I'd never heard just because they were in the Parasol catalog (that's right: catalogs of records! Made out of real paper!) I'm a sucker for this sound, and a sucker for this band."
- Spacerockmountain Blog

"The highlight here, "Little Pocket/Bread House Bonanza," attaches scuzzy guitars to a skewed pop context, not unlike another one of my faves I've presented to you before, further. I wish I had a more eloquent way of conveying that Forever is a promising debut, but I suppose I'll leave it at that."
- Willfully Obscure
