Hojicha

Micah E. Wood

The sun is still On the window sill On a Sunday afternoon I punched the clock But it didn’t count the blue it wasn’t true I chased a dime In quarter time Seconds after you I lost the bet I fought I wept I didn’t know what to do We drank hojichas Standing in the parking lot No way to tell all the shit we’ll sell If given a life or two But I’d spend it with you The Capitalist He lost his fit In the money pits The Sun goes down When it all surrounds Our mind will list: What ever what What ever you say I’ll be right there all day Won’t loose my seat Won’t miss a beat Even if there’s nothing to say I’ll be right there beside you We drank hojichas Standing in the parking lot No way to tell all the shit we’ll sell If given a life or two But I’d spend it with you

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.
