Next Time is a lament. Almost every song on the album is about mourning or regretting something that has been lost: work-life balance, a lover, a way of life, your motivation, your mental health, a sense of self. The displeasure of work and the disappointment of the daily grind are topics revisited throughout the album. “Cooler Talk” and “Dead Man” describe the insanity-inducing reality of corporate labor and the misery of going to work. Other songs like “Next Time”, “Drop Dead Gorgeous”, “Try” and “Wicked Fountain” address the dissatisfaction and loneliness of living in a dystopian reality. We get a little goofy with our dance number, “Just a Rat”, and explore love and self-doubt with the spooky and atmospheric “Feeling the Same.” Musically, these songs draw from many punk, post-punk and eclectic influences. As with our 2020 album, Pleasure Vision, we recorded Next Time with punk musician and engineer J. Robbins.
