about
The Lost Ark Studio presents "Kitchen Floor" by Strange Vine, the latest single from the studio's Lost Ark Studio Compilation - Vol. 04. This one is one beast of a track - one play and you'll know why we were looking forward to them coming in to record a track with us while in town on tour. Massive.
Strange Vine's earthy, energetic music is a fusion of blues, psychedelic, and traditional American rock. It's a sound born of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains from two men who were raised there. Ian Blesse plays drums and Rhodes piano (simultaneously), while Toby Cordova fleshes out the songs with a rotating arsenal of guitars. Both contribute vocals toward a rich, layered sound that's greater than the sum of its parts. In just a year's time, Strange Vine has already shared the stage with acts like The Black Keys, Cage The Elephant, The Greenhornes, Robin Trower, Dead Meadow, We Barbarians, and The Mother Hips.
lyrics
Kitchen Floor - Strange Vine
I swear by God almighty, it’ll never be the same
The sinner disgraced his mother, now she weeps and moans in vain
Lawman stepped into her kitchen, "Woman where's your son?"
She turned 'round to the dishes, and bowed her head in prayer
"Hey mister would you like some coffee?"
"Yes, I likes mine extra strong"
She reached into the cupboard, but she grabbed an old shotgun
Her finger was on the trigger, but Jesus was on her heart
The lawman he begged for mercy, but she shot that man apart
