about

Under New MGT ,a single early release for our upcoming EP/album 'Tiki Motel 2'. Living through the Coldwar and into the era of paranoia. Living in a tired sun bleached California motel in Los Angeles , our protagonist Earl Jr Jackson Black contemplates the dying of the light and reaches deep for the strength to not only carry on but to believe in a future.

Swamp Music Players double down on our philosophy of organic instrumentation clashing with retro transistorized synthetic sounds. Adopting many of the song writing and production flavors of underground bands from previous decades while making music that's always been intended for the working class. It's this reason we have seen our band flourish with the working class and students of the developing world. Under New MGT is ultimately about common people like ourselves dealing with powers beyond our control that shape our lives.

lyrics

Drinking away the bleakness
Out here on my own
I think I'll spend another night at the Tiki Motel
I never felt so alive

The age of paranoia and we're all Russian spies
Give it away for cheap rent
All I ever know
Oh I guess I'll spend another night at the Tiki Motel
I never felt so alive

The age of paranoia and we're all Russian spies
The age of paranoia and we're all Russian spies

I know, I know
We can, we can make it happen
Oh, I know, I know, we can, we can make it happen, yeah

Hanging out with the Freak Fest
Out here on the road
Back when love was free at the Tiki Motel
I never felt so alive

The age of paranoia and we're all Russian spies
The age of paranoia and we're all Russian spies
Open your eyes

I know, I know, we can make it happen, make it happen
I know, you know, we can make it happen yeah

Aw yeah, aw yeah,
We can make it happen, aw yeah, oh yeah
