about

VOL.IX
I moved out of the ten by ten into a basement apartment. I started dating a sweet girl. The basement had a mold problem which gave me a respiratory infection. The people above me needed to get a divorce.

“Well can you keep it like a secret, like a fire that burns underground?”

I was depressed but this girl was sweet. She wanted to be a part of my life. I thought that made her sick. I wanted to fix her, I couldn't. We continued to date for about nine months. It was nice but it wasn't the type of love I needed.

Most of the lyrics on this record were stolen from conversations I had been having or ease dropping on. I heard someone say that they loved some company. I thought they were probably healthier than I was. Being in love with a corporation instead of a person might be better. You only get let down if they go bankrupt.

lyrics

You should only fall in love with all of those American corporations
Watching cable drama tv shows alone
For the second time in a row
You grab my hand tight like you haven’t been held by a man right,
In a very long time
Sometimes my tongue gets swollen from the lack of verbal motivation

Bashful Hips Chicago, Illinois

Bashful Hips is an Avant Garde project from the mind of Ian Fellerman. Bringing his sometimes searing, sometimes hilarious but always poignant observations to bear over an entire stable of Noise Rock/Hip Hop informed Electronica, Ian's music is never stable, always changing and searching for the sound to express his feelings.
