Gang (EP)

by Venator

supported by
Mr. Conner

Mr. Conner A dynamic conglomeration of organized chaos. Unconventional songwriting and integration of styles. Rhythms that rob you of reality and leave you feeling like an actor. And that’s the best.

FLESH MECHANIC Only a mad genre wrangler could take you from cloud rap to house and psytrance within 10 minutes and still make it feel completely natural. More importantly, it's fun as hell. The groove on All My Diamonds is absolutely insane, the electro house beatdown on Grudgemonger gives you a nosebleed and leaves you asking for more and Dead Body in the Penthouse is probably my favorite album closer of 2022 with its final 2-minute crescendo full of anthemic vocals and sunset-flavored guitars. Favorite track: Dead Body In The Penthouse.

When you take a step back to what you said that morning I knew that you’d want me from the first time you called me Let me stare in your eyes and report me as missing All I want is you and all the love that you’re giving I dream about your room, to bathe in red light together To hit a bowl, to kiss you all night, my treasure I’m deep inside your heart, you can feel me in here whenever Inside your soul, inside your glass house forever

Now the stars couldn’t even tell me what to do ‘Cause the songs I made when I was obsessed with you Sounded so much better Do I need your warmth just one more time? ‘Cause the hate and guarana that controls my mind Won’t do me no good no more They say no one will love you if you cannot love yourself But the coolest chicks like you dig a sorry cry for help I always said “I love you more” and turns out I was right so please just give me one more shot ‘cause you know I’ll burn out tonight So I’ll come in, I’ll start a fire, fire Come by and see, and see ‘Cause I just wanna take you higher, higher Gang up with me So I’ll come in, I’ll start a fire, fire Come by and see, and see (I did it for you) ‘Cause I just wanna take you higher, higher Gang up with me So I’ll come in, I’ll start a fire, fire Come by and see, and see ‘Cause I just wanna take you higher, higher Gang up with me It feels so insane to see you suffer through it too Everything you did to me, someone shot straight back at you When your state of sorrow guides you right back to my days You’ll be welcome here but know that I can’t save you from your ways
