about

"Jellyfish" is a song that belongs on cassette, in a boombox, next to an occupied beach towel. In it, Dinner Set Gang embraces maximalism, combining bubbly pop melodies with lush layers of vocals. This juxtaposes the lyrics -- in Brian Wilson fashion -- which comment on escapism and the harmful consequences of avoiding unpleasant realities. In the words of Casey O'Brien, "It’s like being in warm ocean water with the person you love most in the world and still thinking about your car payment. A shadow around the light. It’s like spending your workday drafting your two-week notice but then coming home to a yellow dog who pisses on your shoes out of sheer joy. A sparkle in the darkness.

A special Paper Garden Digs collaboration w/ Company Brewing & Dinner Set Gang.

lyrics

Low tide settles in
With a warm wind and salt caking
The clothes on my skin
Stinging my neck like a jellyfish

It’s not so bad
It’s not so bad
So I make sure to whistle while I frown
It’s not so bad
It’s not so bad
So I force my whole head into the sand

High tide, haven’t blinked
Staring at the umbrella in my drink
The seafoam looks like spit
So I tiptoe drifting over it

Then I break party lines
Into suffused pale moonlight
’Til it burns and I go inside
Where I’ll hide for the rest of the night
