  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    High quality 180gram vinyl.

    Way Out West, King Ropes’ fourth album, is full of open spaces and jagged edges—from “A Loser and a Jerk,” with its brooding feedback moans, to the cathartic opener “Big Man on the TV,” with its mangled arpeggios and visions of a broke rodeo flailing amidst “the great wide open.” Guitars scrape and whine. Amps rumble. Rickety pianos rattle in and out of tune. Like the Treasure State itself, nothing is too refined. Perched uneasily between indie, desert rock, and ragged americana, it’s the band’s finest record yet. At the center of it all is Dave Hollier, a gifted songwriter at the top of his game, surveying a land haunted by doomed relationships and hypocrite ideologues in his odd, quivering voice.

lyrics

I fell down and hit my head and everything changed all the stupid things in there have been rearranged It’s kind of insane
now nothings the same
my love is a laser beam
my love is worse than it seems my love can be jealous and mean you know what I mean
you know what I mean....
my love is a kitchen sink
my love don’t care what you think
my love is a monkey’s dream
turn it on and you’ll see. you’ll see what I mean you’ll see what I mean
you’ll see what I mean...
my love is a laser beam my love is a laser beam my love is a laser beam you know what I mean you know what I mean....

KING ROPES Bozeman, montana

When Dave Hollier spins records at a party, he plays stuff that’s all over the map. The Meters, The Knife, Boston, Bowie, Buck Owens. It could go very wrong. But it doesn’t. Finding the thread that leads from The Cars to The Beastie Boys to Van Halen to Prayers, he tells a long, beautiful, cross-cultural, multi-generational story. Hollier’s band King Ropes is doing much the same thing. ... more
