May 21 - Butter Teeth

Still in the We Shall All Be Healed headspace, this is a b-side from a Mountain Goats single and also a quiet and assured banger. The rhyme scheme and melody are the sketch of an idea that will one day become Lovecraft In Brooklyn (more on that later), and the song itself is a slow almost leisurely exploration of the mania of an amphetamine high.,

This is the up, the point where everything is forward, you have been launched into gear by a substance hitting your brain and while it's there you are marauding. It's confident and swaggering and sad. The confidence comes into the feeling. I'd never heard this song before listening to it just now but even as it played I felt each line and motion familiar.
