American girls With American faces It gets on my nerves Cause I got no chances American boobies Over the top booties No I can’t get enough No I can’t get it – Alright! American girls With American faces It gets on my nerves Cause I got no chances The blown out boobies The bouncing booties Walking on sidewalks As if it was a catwalk (I) Don’t dare to look up Since I’ve been struck Cheeky cheeks Manky make up tips No I’m not good enough No I’m not good – Oh no! You look good she said You talk well she said Come on and dance I don’t care for my friends Make me scream she said Get me drunk she yelled Take me home And I’ll give you head I can’t blame you For your blowjob knowledge Cause there was a time When I didn’t care Make me scream she said Make me cum she begged The bargain of lust Should we never trust The bargain of lust Should we never trust The bargain of lust Should we never trust Should we never trust Should we never trust Should we never trust The bargain of lust American girlies Created fantasies Bring out the cuffs I’m calling the bluff Does it have to be dirty Does it have to be trashy Do I have to act manly For you to feel horny When I look up Or turn it on Or flip the pages Or walk downtown When I look up Or turn it on Or flip the pages Or walk downtown – Oh no! I’m so lost Right now I’m so lost Right now I’m so lost right now I’m so lost right now American girls With American faces It gets on my nerves Cause I got no chances It gets on my nerves Cause I got no chances

Slogans Slogans on your shirt Slogans Slogans on your baby’s turd Slogans To carry out a thought Slogans To make you feel free Slogans To make you think you’re free actually Slogans On a big fucking billboard Slogans Forced into your eyes and ears Slogans Even if you don’t care (too bad) Slogans Slogans for the helpless Slogans To feed the homeless Slogans To which you are a slave Slogans Obey. Be Strong. Behave. Slogans To make the country great again (what a fucking joke) Slogans To have you scream: “Yes We Can!” Slogans Slogans to unite Slogans And next day start a fight Slogans, slogans, slogans, slogans Pumping iron, Pushing steel A protein shake, your only meal Guns make good talk better than luck As if I could ever give a fuck Soon you’ll know how it feels A perfect body, a clogged mind What you’ll say is a slogan Cause what you’ve become is a slogan A slogan Slogans, slogans, slogans, slogans

Found out this morning I woke on election day Ended up mourning Revolutions end in dismay In this pinball city It's hard to make ends meet For the possibilities Of nothing are infinite Switch it to overdrive My life’s a joke (hell yeah) But this is fun I wanna look tough But I suck at the gym Switch it to overdrive I was cool But they changed what’s supposed to be cool I still keep faith in From nothing to infinite Switch it to overdrive If I competed to be myself I’d only end second place at best Short cut, short coat Throw up, cut throat Short cut, short coat Throw up, cut throat I trust you and you trust me So you know I follow I follow I follow I follow I trust you and you trust me So you know I follow I follow I follow I follow yeah We‘ve gone too far to get back To before So you know Yeah you know Switch it to overdrive Switch it to overdrive Switch it to overdrive Let go and take the dive Kick ass enjoy the thrive Time to take over Now more than ever To switch it to overdrive

I've been having the same dream lately I can't recall the end It's like watching a silent movie But there's some missing frames Drinking from a velvet glass Pouring into a crystal glove Concrete bounce from cloud to cloud Forming into a stone dove Why does it float? How does it float? Does it float? I saw a Twin Peaks rerun maybe (It) got taped into my head Drama morphed to trauma-a silly Uprising from the dead Drinking from a velvet glass Pouring into a crystal glove Concrete bounce from cloud to cloud Forming into a stone dove Stuck on repeat Rewind the tape And play it again Play it back again Stuck on repeat Rewind the tape And play it again Play it back again Stuck on rewind Repeat the tape And play it again Play it back again Stuck in a loop Play back the tape Technicolor Dreams Blockhead erasing Technicolor Dreams Blockhead erasing Technicolor Dreams Blockhead erasing Technicolor Dreams Blockhead erasing

about

RELEASED on LE CEPE RECORDS, FLIPPIN' FREAKS RECORDS & INFLUENZA RECORDS.

CityT error est né de la joie de Shoefiti de se retrouver après une période erratique. L’album sent l'éclate et une liberté retrouvée. Son ADN est multiple et bascule de morceaux énergiques à un monde acoustique. Le lâché prise est total : tant que les fuzzs sont belles, les mélodies étincelantes et les partis pris créatifs excitants. Shoefiti livre un rock sinueux, brutal et souple d’une grande précision, résolument indé et s’inscrivant dans l’héritage des songwriters 90s américains.

Le livret au format numérique avec tout l'artwork est inclus dans le téléchargement ainsi qu'un journal de bord de l'enregistrement.

-- ENGLISH
CityT error is born from Shoefiti’s joy to reunite after an erratic time. The album sounds like the band having a blast and a new found freedom. Its DNA is multiple and jumps from high-energy songs to an acoustic world. The band is totally unloose: as long as the fuzzes are beautiful, the melodies sparkle and the creative choices are exciting. In the end, Shoefiti delivers a rock that is sinuous, brutal and with high precision, definitely indie and that follows the heritage of the American 90s songwriters.

This download comes with the digital booklet that contains all the artwork and a logbook of the recording process.

about

Shoefiti image

Shoefiti Paris, France

What if Shoefiti was France's indie scene’s best kept secret?

Never quite garage, not completely psychedelic or shoegaze, borrowing from noise without being totally so, Shoefiti is resolutely an indie rock band, sometimes pop and under control, sometimes abrasive and unbridled like a San Francisco ice cream truck whose brakes would have broken. ... more
