Their fourth album Worhead was released in March 2017 on the band's own label.
Their musical style has been likened to Vampire Weekend. Using inopportune moments and a musical alphabet as deep as the sea, little comets are currently traversing a sextet of cities with nothing but shine in the apples of their eyes.
Somehow soon this combination of pockets, testing, melody and treason will stumble across your path and leave an indelible mark deeper than hue, fingerprint or membrane on your story. raker.

Little Comets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On a tuesday morn when i feel humanity slip
from broken hands down to her hips
Realising lethargy in both her eyes
And as the sun emancipates the dawn
her tanlines cackle with the power of the allegory.
For a man, he's deeper than the sundarbans
Leaves heartache hanging in the swollen air
And as they fall apart in separate beds
he carves forever in the cheap wooden bedstead
Realise bitterness in both her eyes
and the way his words could strip
the walls she's climbing
Chrorus
(Oh at the end oh no oh?)
I worry about the way she lay
(Oh at the end oh no oh?)
too much worry, worry, worry, worry.
(repeat)
He holds her down, everything is anguish now
With the shallowness of every breath
He waits until she is bereft
Realise, nothingness in both her eyes
and the way his words have stripped
the walls she's climbing
Chrorus
(Oh at the end oh no oh?)
I worry about the way she lay
(Oh at the end oh no oh?)
too much worry, worry, worry, worry.
(repeat)
The lyrics of Little Comets's song W paint a dark picture of a doomed relationship. The singer describes a woman whose silhouette is "bleaker than a cigarette" and who exudes an air of lethargy and bitterness. The man in the relationship is described as "deeper than the sundarbans" and capable of holding her stare in a wistful and heartbreaking way. However, the relationship is falling apart, and the two are "in separate beds." The man's words are described as "stripping the walls she's climbing" and causing "nothingness in both her eyes."
Through the lyrics of W, the band reflects on the toxicity of abusive relationships. The woman in the relationship is portrayed as being worn down by the man's words and actions, and she is seen as slipping away. The singer expresses concern about "the way she lays" and continues to worry throughout the song. The final lines of the chorus are haunting and repetitive, emphasizing the singer's anxiety and concern for the woman involved.
Overall, the lyrics of W evoke a sense of despair and hopelessness, reflecting on the devastating effects of emotional manipulation and abuse in relationships. The use of dark imagery and vivid descriptions creates a clear picture of a toxic relationship on the brink of collapse.

The closest they've ever come is "Intelligent Animals" and it's still kind of thought-provoking good work, just not something I'd like to listen to CONSTANTLY like their other, more groovy stuff. Love this band! (:
