What Am I 03:53
In the middle I gave you a surprise Woke up laughing then I started to cry Start to get up, didn’t open my eyes What a mess, what a mess, what am I It’s nice to see you, sorry I’ve got to go I was looking for where I put my coat Taped to the door was where I left my note What a mess, what a mess, what am I Bring it forward then run it right back It’s always been my favorite part of the act Now I’m finding out that it’s always been hack What a mess what a mess what am I Falling behind, oh yeah, oh no
2.
Did I see you in my tea, or am I just facially blind No one knows just how to grow the garden in the mind Well I can’t prove it if you won’t do it, I’m just making it up Not fluent so never gonna use it Unless I stare in the cup, again We could clean the time machine but I used up all my suds Never forgive monuments Radiation’s the new drug Well I can’t prove it if you won’t do it, I’m just making it up Not fluent so never gonna use it Unless I stare in the cup, again Well I can’t prove it if you won’t do it, I’m just making it up Not fluent so never gonna use it Unless I stare in the cup, again And I’ll prove it wrong

Moped 00:43
Has everything that you need Two stroke and single speed I’m mixing oil and gas Too slow to die in a crash Hope that you’re not in a rush Does it go any faster? No not much If you think you can make it in one piece You’ve never lost an exhaust
4.
Motorcycle 02:38
Something on the road must have been rushing I could tell it was a motorcycle Dripping black gold Telling you not to move Motorcycle Spilling black gold So don’t tell the cops they dropped some pot There’s ice in the air, try not to stare Straight into the rolled over hog Flipped in the fog Telling you not to move Come to the light Telling you not to move Everything’s alright Don’t Move

Admin Reveal 02:32
We’re too dumb to try Dying to get by I’m on on vacation Started the day with a pledge Ended with a pitching wedge I’m on vacation, and I like it Can’t shoot me down when I’m not around Baited hook with gold Never saw the fishing pole I’m on vacation and I like it Can’t shoot me down when I’m not around I’m on vacation and it’s the place I want to be

Where did it go? I want to take it home Where did it go? I want to take it home Where did it go? Where did it go?
8.
Pissing off a bridge and onto the boat If I made a hole would it still float I’m feeling bad So don’t you call the cops, babe Cuz I’m just tryna talk plain Why would you let me walk away Into the fire Cut my arm out of the cast And notice how much time has past A skin farming tan Let the sun make up for lost time As I’m driving 45 While enjoying this decline Into the fire But somehow all the grieving Has got me believing That someday I’ll be leaving Into the fire
9.
10.
I’m looking in Just to see you’re fine Always makes me want to lose my mind for you Multiplication We can sort it out If you really want to choose to divide by two Always makes me want to lose Doo, da doo, da doo, da doo Word on the street is that I’m wasting my time Always makes me want to lose
11.
Goodbye wide sigh like the amount of head between your eyes Rollin the dice tried being good Is it such a crime to hide my stuff in the woods? Sipped from the masters can I thought it was mine from the weight in my hand You can forget where you’re from Until the crystal cola burns your lungs
12.
Seldom Seen 00:55

Faceplant 02:00
Hangin’ out With your face planted in the ground Gettin looks from the neighbors now Do you still feel like the king of clout? Oooh I thought I knew Oooh I thought I knew Oooh I thought I knew You Cut my hands on the glass when I peered in Saw the backdrop just glistening Pulled it down, I packed it in Oooh I thought I knew Oooh I thought I knew Oooh I thought I knew you And you thought you knew me too
14.
Open Garden 03:17
Open Garden drive my car in but it’s ok cuz I didn’t see it Were percolating sick of waiting on the earth to fry Lazily ask for my time off Taking what I want It’s chemicals I want to breathe Chemicals I want for free Getting time off Taking what I want I’m getting time off Taking what I want Chemicals I want to breathe Cuz Chemicals are good for me And chemicals make me believe Chemicals that come in threes Chemicals I never see Chemicals will always be These chemicals are out for me
15.
Stick it in the ground And turn it up real loud Wormholders wish Throw back the fish After you let it look in the lake Don’t you know I’m sold on a lifetime waiting to be told “Now it’s your turn” I’ll take all the blame It’s only just a game I felt the pain from the sugarcane Left it out in the rain Now it’s full of coal A lifetime waiting to be told “It’s time to burn” I know I’m sold Getting home

about

Unlike its predecessor, Does It Go Any Faster explores the freedom of live takes and (aptly) speedrunning through an album’s hot points. Rather than laboring over individual moments and creating a Perfect Document, the release allows melody and expression to drive the action, resulting in a dynamic and expansive catalog of sounds and studio experimentation. The loose, present songwriting process shines from a cohesion that can only stem from friends sustaining bonds built years before in local music scenes, despite the challenges of the pandemic and tracks starting as potential solo work before being presented to the band.

The combination of a bountiful sonic wellspring and constant artistic evolution has resulted in Same’s most versatile set, boosted by returning producer Matt Schimelfenig’s keen ear (Gladie, Three Man Cannon). Same designed Faster? to pack a louder punch for their second round: the songs are shorter, the album runs at a hotter clip, the track listing is stuffed with more, more, more. The album’s title is earned from “Moped,” a zippy love letter to Jesse’s actual ride, and is inverted darkly on “Motorcycle,” its lyric sheet cribbed from accident scenes. When Same leans more political, like on “Admin Reveal,” they do so with a wry sense of humor. The song’s a breezy pop-rock cut set to island time, where a politician polishes off a beachside beverage while the legislation they just okayed harms millions. Sometimes the verbiage grows abstractly, lending more priority to enunciation and tone, like the wispy country-rocker “Facially Blind.” Often times, Same drops off narration entirely, bookending the album’s dizzying cocktail of slowcore, psych-pop, and indie rock with organic instrumental vignettes. If this seems like an overloaded LP2, it flies past in two clicks. Don’t worry: you can catch it again. Same will self-release Does It Go Any Faster? on 10/27.
