Porkandham An interesting pre-Swan Wash document, Day Room foreshadows much of that band's sound (Anxiety can be seen again in Tavel's Gavel) but also holds its own very well, establishing itself as dark new wave and holding true to this throughout the album. Also, it's quite relaxing music! Favorite track: Anxiety.

Bomb Shelter 03:34
if fire falls on your hand don't lift it up use the stairs to cover position hostility is surreal in the air like a holiday swept through the street if you remember a picture on the wall picture on the wall by the window every process proceeds from the same! it's a long walk home until dinner if fire falls on your hand don't lift it up use the stairs to cover position hostility is surreal in the air like a holiday swept through the street if you remember a picture on the wall infantile view from the window? I can see from a long way off and if I'm gone behind a wall there's a reason if I fall out the window there's a reason! if I pull back the rug there's a reason! it's cos there's something there that I can see!

there is a place if you go to the beginning where we'd go when we'd feel tired out there is a place if you go to the beginning there is a place where we rushed them down there is a place where we rushed them down there is a feeling that we rushed them down below the ceiling where we rushed them down there is a place if you go to the beginning there is a face at the bottom is a sorry place

Anxiety 04:31
right down to the corner and shop for some things could have killed someone behind the building and stopped time you were eager to get back it was only twenty feet you are a man of interrupted employment it was easy I was anxious one leg through the window, didn't understand solitary paradise on the trundle bed! pull the leg cut the leg pull the leg off and it glorifies while the voluntary eunuchs throw the rest of themselves on the wall every time and I'm anxious

No Name 05:15
it's a rifled day for living circle high on a wall friday night at the foot of the mountain dark is quick, it comes at three o'clock made this place too big for living the doors are over my head you'll take the frames all down as the air is moving them around <CHORUS> out of the treeline, there it goes it's tall enough to see in the window and it has no name no name no name no name out on a hill, and you're out too far when you don't say no one knows where you are and it has no name no name no name no name it's a shrinking day for living it's a hole in your side friday night at the foot of the mountain market rattle, turn on every light made this place too big for living doors only open to doors you'll take the frames right down cos the air is moving them around <CHORUS> it's the taste that gets behind your face

Pale Horizon 04:29
thumping on a barrel sunk in grief crouched, waiting over by the gate made a choice to live on top of circle winding hill where it's dark and it could be late <CHORUS> in every house, I feel you race through the walls coming up behind my head now laughing and it's only half at you laughing and it's only half at you could have been you started something wrong in a country where the signs are blue they get a little anxious on the lookout after dark when it's obvious we're staying through now hold the scene cos the garden will hold you to your history where it's dark and you're always late now you see you're at the end of the sky hear you moving on the roof now <CH> in every house, I feel you race through the walls lifted up behind my head now laughing and it's only half at you waiting and it's only half for you shaking and it's only half at you

​wire works its way near the ceiling says what's on its mind with a light buzz, and a red glow the feeling starts in me to slide down the plastic with the sunbeam wire works its way early start on the last day wire hums above sleeps with its clothes on with a light buzz, and a red glow and a symbol that doesn't speak to us I remember it this way roll a carpet for an early bed early hole in the ground under covers from apartment death pull off the road and lose sense of scale rooms are clean, all lit up and there's no one around it's a comfort like a half-remembered dream! I remember it this way

about

A lost project formed by members of Swan Wash, Nü Youth, and Early Day Miners, DAY ROOM finally sees posthumous release of its only complete recording session from 2017, having performed publicly just three times that year before disbanding. Fans of Comsat Angels, Savages, Ulterior, and late-'80s Cure will find a familiar home in the sparse rhythms and cavernous, lyrical guitar lines of the band's sole EP.
