about

Following a terrifying bout with long haul covid, Merrell wrote Patient, a raw ripper brought to life by Couch’s howling back up vocals. The song explores the turbulence of being ill and seeking care in an inherently unjust medical system.

Ivy Merrell - Guitar, vocals
Rachel Couch - Bass, vocals, Rhodes, thumb piano
Angela Heileson - Drums, vocals

lyrics

I’m just the dog that eats the food
You stuff with pills to change my mood
But I’ll play along with you

I think I’m circling round the drain
(spinning and circling round the drain)
I feel the virus in my brain
(can’t hear the voices call my name)
But who am I to go insane

Now I’m as clean as sterile sheets
(now I’m as clean as sterile sheets)
Tethered and snapping in the breeze
(feeling the static while I sleep)
A perfect little dream

Show me the unrelenting stare
(Show me the unrelenting stare)
My eyes are locked inside the mirror
(search for a sign that isn’t here)
But I’m falling everywhere

(I’m running)

I can’t hear my voice
You’re talking over mine
A quarter hour gone
Whiplash and broken bones
And I can’t feel my legs
Tired from the day
Close my eyes again

Seeps into my cells
I’ll hibernate in hell
I can’t hear my voice
I can’t hear my voice

The French Tips Boise, Idaho

What began as an avenue for releasing pent up rage through music has evolved into a refuge from the personal and collective challenges of being a human over the past five years. The French Tips fuel their sound with an abundance of influences. Punk rock, post punk, disco, dance, pop, funk, surf, and doo wop are infused into the garage rock sound they have honed over two albums. ... more
