Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh It’s just You, Me, and the Reign Governmental downfall, Face plant, asphalt  Petty theft, Civil unrest, Sabotage While I'm trying my best  Facists, acting batshit, silly dudes  combative  I’d build a fortress around us To Protect this  Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh It’s just You, Me, and the Reign 9 to 5, the union tries, Billionaire tears  Dry your eyes Every step forward, 2 Step back, Good ideas  You gotta retract Sick twisted dinosaurs, Massive waste of resources I’d build a fortress around us To Protect this  Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh It’s just You, Me, and the Reign I remember we used to think Lorraine had gone insane She called the game and now its here blatant and plain We worked swing states Obama ‘08  She said if he win it ain’t gonna abolish the hate But quite opposite  She said Supremacy don’t go down fast And that eventually the empathy would all drown drastically Masterfully, the racists’ll retaliate Selling Hope and Change you exasperate hate I was drinking all the Kool Aid  Like Damn Lorraine Pessimism is prison it’s a chance for change She broke it down. sumn like a kindergarten teacher The billionaire greed’ll rather die ‘for they feed us They rather debate the true place of fetus  Instead of giving way to create some real leaders I think about Lorraine and the reign and the pain and the way that she was never insane Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh It’s just You, Me, and the Reign

Micah E. Wood’s 3rd album “You, Me, the Reign” embodies the feeling of being in love in a backdrop of anti capitalist protest, confusion, and unrest, with the bubbling intensity of 70’s disco and art rock. The interplay of both highly political songs and love songs coalesce into a unique record that bursts with high energy and ambition.

This album carries pointed references to inspirational musicians such as Stereolab (with Altered Kindness), LCD Soundsystem (with Don’t Wanna Go Back), and Sault (with You, Me, the Reign). There are to nods to Micah’s long-running affection for disco beats, jazz and funk, and even oft-overlooked genres such as kraut-y no wave (Delusion, Projection).

This record also exhibits a genuine love for the Baltimore community, featuring local virtuosos such as Eyas, N A E , notcharles, Modern Nomad, Eze Jackson, Glorian, and more.
