about

A pop anthem. The first of four singles off of W̶a̶r̶h̶o̶l̶a̶, our debut record out 11/11/20 on Big Deep Records, produced by The Shivers and recorded at the Pencil Factory in Brooklyn. The song and video premiered on Talkhouse on 9/23/20.

"Warhol/Warhola" is the album’s addictive opener, a lo-fi, CBGB celebration of the immigrant--like Warhol’s mother, who arrived in 1921, the year of the first immigration shutdown. “We dream like we’re dreamers.”

lyrics

Andy Warhol, born Warhola
Not yet a b-baller, not yet a shot-caller
White Iverson, can I be your friend?
1943: them factory kids in Pittsburgh be the death of me

We dream like we’re dreamers
Mom says a novena, we pray for the scenesters, the boys becomes teamsters
We dream like we’re dreamers
Refugees like we’re dreamers
They build a wall but don’t you know this world’s a hole through which we crawl
*
Don’t you dare defer to me
The world’ll make a mess of me
A bullet never takes it back
A needle finds on a needle track
*
Did we get it wrong? We got it all wrong
Leave the radio on, just leave the radio on
*
I was never alone, never naked alone
I had the radio on, the radio on, the radio on
*
Marilyn Monroe, where did your clothes go? Did we get it wrong?
I was never alone, never naked alone, I had the radio on
*
We dream like we’re dreamers
Mom says a novena,the boys becomes teamsters, we pray for the scenesters

We dream like we’re dreamers
