Tell me Tell me that I’m good enough That I’m not too far gone That I am interesting That daunts in my leafing The great poets Whose mapping made mine like a fly midst tea leaves It’s early ruined and riddled with stutter so I’d best Learn my steps So delicate a dance to days raucous song To maintain when thinly wrong’s afoot Like yarns length in mail casing Like yarns length in mail casing That daunts in my leafing The great poets Whose mapping made mine like a fly midst tea leaves It’s early ruined and riddled with stutter so I’d best Learn my steps So delicate a dance to days raucous song To maintain when thinly wrong’s afoot Like yarns length in mail casing Like yarns length in mail casing Like yarns length in mail casing When I’m reading my favorite books I can't help but feel inadequate like I’ll never be interesting enough to have a collection of prose written about me and Ultimately that’s my goal To be written about To be written about To be written about To be written about about about to be written about To be written about To be written about To be written about about about to be written about To be written about Like fronds that to clay trail Only in disappointment Till the romantics of early shrivel surely wears away And it surely wears away I’ll never see it And worse yes it is to ask that Maybe you’ll think about me later And I’ll have written about you later I’ll have written about you Later Later And maybe you’ll think about me Maybe you’ll think about me Maybe Maybe you’ll think about me

Lecture 04:20
Steak’d from ear to ear in prayer like wooden spasticity This gray that wriggles till pursed on my tongue Same that might with a choke cherry plucked but I need to say this And so we’ll build a series of walls and Take the days easy apart like stomping wasps From the lecture to confessional That doesn’t sound quite right From the lecture to confessional It’s gotta be around here somewhere From the lecture to confessional It doesn’t always add up And from the lecture to confessional I can’t always say it And from the lecture to confessional Isn’t it always too late I did exactly what I wanted to But the words No I’m far too a coward to say From the lecture to the confessional And from the lecture to the confessional And from the lecture to the confessional And from the lecture to the confessional Mine stood like copse leaden blue as Sobers in shower and then comes the knowing and The knowing and the knowing and the knowing and I cannot extend my feelings to you wrapped pretty All but the truth left on the table because I did exactly what I wanted to I did exactly what I wanted to I did Exactly what I wanted to Exactly what I wanted to Exactly what I wanted to Exactly what I wanted to … From the lecture to confessional Isn’t it always too late From the lecture to confessional Isn’t it always too late From the lecture to confessional Isn’t it always too late From the lecture to confessional Isn’t it always Always too late Isn’t it always too late

I like it here right now I like it here right now I like it here right now The love from the blinds And I’m having your face Till the kitchen’s corner And the pose of your blade I like it here right now I like it here right now The love from the blinds And I’m having your face Till the kitchen’s corner And the pose of your blade I like it here right now I like it here right And it was never money Set down the bottle and show me something I’m looking out through the window I’m coming And it was never money Set down the bottle and show me something I’m looking out through the window I’m coming And it was never money Set down the bottle and show me something I’m looking out through the window I’m coming I’m coming

Plains coffered with handles to nowhere Such sprawled o’ pannelings walled and brambly Plains coffered with handles to nowhere the Shag rug and I know this as pitious blur Is it so much that I feel this intensely Enough so that I’d be no ceiling to you Is it so much that I feel this intensely Enough so that I’d be no ceiling to you And lifting But a finger does to vastness like Like sliver’d bark Fed to a stove How wrong how wrong Though I’d not allow myself to know it Though I’d not allow myself to know it Though I’d not I’m so tired of you asking me to react and you Asking me to be open When I’m right here The ceilings a stern face The ceilings a stern face And damn And damn I envy so the deliberatively impossible I can’t Push away with gravy and be alone Wishing for someone I can’t Push away with gravy and be alone Wishing for someone Plains coffered with handles to nowhere Such sprawled o’ pannelings walled and brambly Plains coffered with handles to nowhere the Shag rug and I know this as pitious blur Is it so much that I feel this intensely Enough so that I'd be no ceiling to you Is it so much that I feel this intensely Enough so that I’d be no ceiling to you

Loftily that Condensates Tween the tilings where Never the window And the window with all of its arms And it’s arms the grace of knowing And easier the trottoir Than yours are Coffered and hiding Than yours are Coffered and hiding Please open up And let me into your countenance Please open up And let me into your countenance I’m sleeping in With palms as I know that I should Please open up And let me into your countenance I’d like to Where where’d you I’d like to Where where’d you go Where where’d you go I’d like to know I’d like to know

Along Along the ditch Along the ditch till town Along Along the ditch Along the ditch till town Along the ditch till town Along the ditch till town I’d leap from canvas in acrylic clumps As passer’s my witness Gold wrapped in pale ribbons these Legs that span fields but so in good riddance Where marble still’d And I’m laughing through sermons Pebbles my lips trilling like Skips gone awry Along the ditch till town I’ll tire and loose the lashes from ‘neath My brightly shirts A hiccup Sort of inopportunity What good could detach me the embarrassment From hands a slipping weed And I notice The way you look like sex is the television and falling asleep And I take no beauty in saying it Drunk driving an ATV as sun’s rounding and I’ll be strangled with skip rope Sideways two by fours nailed ‘tween the trunks And my bed in the closet Never as long as I reach the next turnoff The next turnoff The slope Swallowed so bush might trace what raised red And every plant so snaked my nerves like stopped and Caught by the windshields Cast of iron See me Beside the highway And a blush would boil your cheeks So run Run away Run if ever a choice in the leave So run Run away Run if ever a choice in the leave So run Run away Run if ever a choice in the leave So run Run away Run if ever a choice in the leave It’s your fault I hadn’t a choice I was just a kid Along Along Along Along

about

Violence is a brazenly poetic homage to small town roots, a mashing of modern Western Canadian hardcore and folk. Extensive in scope, this debut full-length by Truck Violence takes the listener through wide-ranging dynamics, from solemn acoustic ballads to wrathful electric anthems. Deftly fractured rhythms and breakdowns, complex harmonic entanglements, emphatic screams of discontent, are met with hopeful, melodic tracks musing about the steady grip of a tight-knit community.

From somber, deceivingly happy banjo sequences to crashing noise and cries, Violence uses expression as a mirror, looking upon oneself with clarity, aiming to attain a sense of unadulterated truth of the matter. There is little modern music taking an honest look at the Western Canadian countryside, tackling themes such as addiction, abuse and dysfunction. Truck Violence’s first album does just that, uniquely capturing this involuted setting through a wide lens to both contextualize and emphasize what it means to be overwhelmed, to feel shame, to struggle with self-destructive ways, to thrust oneself into art as an escape.

Written and recorded in singer-poet Karsyn Henderson, guitarist-banjoist Paul Lecours and percussionist Ryley Klima’s basement alongside bassist Chris Clegg, then mixed and mastered by longtime collaborator Noah Baxter, this self-produced introductory effort from the Montréal four-piece stylishly amalgamates elements from hardcore, punk, shoegaze, sludge, and folk. Violence (July 5th, 2024 via Mothland) is highly recommended for fans of earnest heavy music with an experimental edge à la Show Me The Body, Chat Pile or The Chariot.
