Sounding in places like a very stoned early Aphex, the menu here consists of the same ingredients but cooked imaginatively in different ways. Huge, half-buried waves of pitch-black tones'n'moans, skittering, insistent hats and synthetic snares rushing in all directions at once - actual dancing not to be ruled out, brain dancing guaranteed. Among other things Dwellings, to its creator, is "a place where time is feels stretched, a place where the rhythms of everyday life go on for ever..." for listening to the hypnotic jams on this album will make you feel like time is standing still.
3) Dwellings is a 5-piece rock band from Sacramento, California. Drawing inspiration from Circa Survive, The Mars Volta and Dance Gavin Dance, Dwellings has developed their own unique sound. The members are Isaac, Thomas, Erik, Marco, and Marx. Their debut album “Lavender Town” was released on Tragic Hero Records followed up by their single "Pick Up Before You Go". In 2023, the band has put out three new electric singles, “Devices”, “Waypoints”, and “It’s All There”! Their sophomore album, Little Garden, will be releasing on June 30th, 2023!

As your armaments and way with words flying away messages
Attached to birds
You're tipping the scales in your favor
You're not the person not the friend I remember I remember I remember
Did it just hit you like a train the thought that's aching in
Your brain facial expressions well explained without thinking
You cause certain doom isn't in your
Schedule are you looking for a fire waiting for fuel
I think you'd show them a thing or two
You didn't bring anything anyway
Now go leave us alone take what you
Own you didn't bring anything anyway
Your argument is only as good
As your armament and way with words flying away messages
Attached to birds
You're tipping the scales in your favor
You're not the person not the friend I remember I remember I remember
Did it just hit you like a train the thought that's aching in
Your brain facial expressions well explained without thinking
Your eyes now roaming around the room escaping is the plan for you
Cause certain doom isn't in your schedule
Are you looking for a fire waiting for fuel
I think you'd show them a thing or two
Go leave us alone it's been nice knowing you don't mind me
Mind me showing you the door which I'll show more and more
Go leave us alone take what you own you didn't bring anything anyway
The song 'Codphish Joe' by Dwellings seems to be about someone who has become argumentative and confrontational, using their words like weapons to get their way. The lyrics suggest that this person has changed, and is no longer the friend that the singer remembers. The phrase "tipping the scales in your favor" implies that this person is not being fair or honest, and is manipulating others to win arguments. The first few lines also reference "flying away messages attached to birds," which suggests that this person is avoiding responsibility and leaving others to deal with the consequences of their actions.
The chorus tells this person to leave and take their belongings with them, as they didn't contribute anything to the situation in the first place. The second verse repeats many of the same ideas, but adds the line "certain doom isn't in your schedule." This could suggest that this person is so focused on winning arguments and getting what they want that they are not thinking about the potential consequences of their actions.
Overall, the song seems to be a warning to someone who has become toxic and is causing problems for those around them. The singer is telling them to leave and not come back, as they are no longer welcome in this space.
