  • Slow Growth Cassette Tape (Lost Sound Tapes #95)
    Cassette + Digital Album

    From Lostsoundtapes.com:
    “Slow Growth” is ten songs about growth, change, love, recovery and resilience. Tenney intends to use her layered vocals and instruments to create mysterious, haunting harmonies and soundscapes inspired by environmental and political landscapes. This is the second full length album for Badlands, the first on Lost Sound Tapes, and is the follow up to the 2013 album “So Little”. The album title is quite appropriate as many of these songs are filled with layers that build up over time in addition to the lyrical content that explores social justice issues, resistance, introspection, and healing. The most powerful track on the album is "Work To Do” which touches on examples of racism present in our culture today, and shows how much work we still have to do, both privately and publicly, to dismantle it. On this album is also a Donna Summer cover, the song "I Feel Love", which acts as a radical mantra of self love and confidence.

    Edition of 100 translucent blue cassette tapes with hand stamped labels and full color artwork. Comes with a digital download.

lyrics

I know that I’ve been running
It’s hard to face the things that exhaust me
But know I have been trying
To face the things that exhaust me

Every small step feels like a leap
Every small taste feels like a feast
People got ideas about what I should be
And I just can’t

I don’t want to, I can’t
Don’t need to, I can’t
Don’t want to, I can’t
Don’t know how I can

I know that you’ve been trying
Like I’ve been trying for so long
It was easy to be silent
I know it hasn’t helped anyone

Every small step feels like a leap
Every small taste feels like a feast
People got ideas about what you should be
And you just can’t

You don’t want to, you can’t
Don’t need to, you can’t
Don’t want to, you can’t
Don’t know how you can
