In fact, “I’m very preoccupied with romance,” songwriter Robin Edwards admits, “and I’m always trying to figure out what the deal with love is.” On her new record, Perfect Love Song, Edwards acknowledges the ultimate joke of love: that there is no \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eperfect, so you’ll get tripped up while chasing it but what else could possibly be more rich, more exhilarating, more everything, skinned knees be damned? Stitching together pop punk panache and pillow talk introspection, Perfect Love Song finds Lisa Prank not in pursuit of the \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eflawless impossible, as the title may suggest. Rather, she’s interested in the entire experience of love and learning through it. “I never learned how to be mad,” Edwards sings on the reflective “Get Mad” but she did learn how to write totally gratifying pop songs about it, with the end of \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e“processing my feelings, and hoping that other people can relate if they’ve been in a similar situation.” Perfect Love Song is an album that takes a soft focus gaze at romance’s sharpest points and edges, both the exciting peaks and the scary cliffs. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAs Edwards was navigating a drawn out, Lifetime movie level heartbreak, she found herself drifting back towards the home she had in her friendships. She moved back into her old room in storied Seattle punk manse, Spruce House, sharing a door with Tacocat’s Bree McKenna. She’d knock and ask McKenna for feedback on songs, who wound up playing guitar on the record. To produce, Edwards tapped old friend Rose Melberg of Tiger Trap. Melberg’s artistic alignment and personal closeness to Edwards gave her near psychic insight into Lisa Prank’s sonic goals, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003ebut at enough remove to provide breakthroughs to Edwards at stuck points. It was a collaboration that felt like coaching. She helped Edwards step back and look at harmonies, percussion, guitar tones she may have not considered at first, but that helped her achieve her ideal polished punk \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003esound. Plus, it was fun in the studio, with friends around, creating the kind of lighthearted, mutually supportive feeling one needs surrounding them feel like themselves again after retrieving their heart back from a breakup. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“I love love songs, or falling out of love songs,” explains Edwards, “where I can see one moment of the situation and know what the whole story is.” Writing Perfect Love Song was Edwards’ opportunity “to personally say all the things that I wanted to say, or wish I had said.” In “Scream the Truth,” a gaslighting extinguisher anthem about reclaiming your sanity, she gets to be mad on her terms: “I wasn’t losing my mind,” she sings. Says Edwards, “its about seeing someone else navigate the world as a very nice guy whose very woke and feminist or whatever, and knowing the truth about him.” The first track, “Rodeo,” likens the searing, sinking in feeling of a \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003epost fight realization “‘cause ‘I don’t wanna be in love’\/means I don’t wanna be in love\/with you” to the dangers and desires of the spectacle of love. “By now I know\/this is the rodeo I chose,” she sings, electing to get back on her horse and ride, acknowledging the pain that’s part of that game. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“I wish a different emotion was so alive and exciting to me,” Edwards laughs, “but love is just the one that feels so visceral and consuming!” Perfect Love Song explodes the roller coaster snapshots of romance in bursts of poppy neon bright color, with Edward’s cheeky perspective \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003epolished to full shine. “Lisa Prank has humor to it,” she says. “Some of the songs are really sad to me, but it's still fun pop punk.” And the mission of that genre, one could argue, is to keep on bopping along through the bullshit of life. To stay buoyant, to find fun in the big what ifs and \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003ewhatevers. It what keeps the dream Lisa Prank afloat: as she sings on “Constellation,” “still I keep on hoping this is some perfect love song\/and we’ll go on and on and on, and on and on, and on.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by \u003cstrong\u003eRose Melberg\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEngineered and mixed in December 2018 \u0026amp; January 2019 by Ian LeSage at the Vault in Seattle, WA \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMastered by Carl Saff at Saff Mastering \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Lisa Prank band is… \u003cbr\u003eRobin Edwards- guitar\/vocals \u003cbr\u003eBree McKenna- bass \u003cbr\u003eTom Fitzgibbon- drums \u003cbr\u003eRose Melberg- backup vocals, rhythm guitar on “Telescope” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll songs by Robin Edwards, except “Telescope” by Robin Edwards \u0026amp; Rose Melberg \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesign by Faye Orlove, cover photo by Grayson Whitmire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso available on LP and CD from Father Daughter Records:\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.fatherdaughterrecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.fatherdaughterrecords.com\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lost Sound Tapes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29480200601665,"sku":"LST-107","price":7.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1228\/6722\/products\/lisa-prank-perfect-love-song-bandcamp-merch.jpg?v=1675145329"},{"product_id":"squill-moon-sessions-cassette-tape","title":"SQUILL \"Moon Sessions\" cassette tape","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLST-119 SQUILL \"MOON SESSIONS\" Cassette Tape with Download\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date: April 30th, 20201\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFolk music with loud, droning guitars and beautiful vocals.

Miraculously, the band regrouped in Seattle in the winter of 2021 for just long enough to relearn the songs, play the Magic Lanes living room, and record. And while Craig, in the intervening years, had forgotten lyrics and guitar solos (long replaced in the brain by bossa nova fake books), Jacob's acumen for shredding soared (Two Tigers solo), John got arty (Kathmandu bass harmonics), and Zach triumphed the taps (Jubilee).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNone of the songs are set in the present, and while hardly any of them are even relevant to the songwriter anymore, the underlying idea here is something persistent: nostalgia, heartbreak, big plans, daydreams, and reminiscences can simultaneously be refuges and blackholes.

The tracks are an extension of the political work Kirshenbaum engaged with where he witnessed first-hand the power of collective action to connect with others and shift systems of power. He hopes these songs can offer somatic political awareness, helping people transition from despair and apathy to realizing how deeply needed their contributions are in the struggle towards racial, economic, and climate justice. Drawing from musical influences deeply rooted in rain, vistas, and every shade of green imaginable, Ground seeks to honor the rituals of love, self-healing, and introspection that will ultimately build us a\u003cbr\u003enew, liberatory future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout Levoneh\u003cbr\u003eLevoneh is a collaborative music project led by composer and producer, Ross Kirshenbaum, based in Seattle, WA on unseeded Duwamish territory.

On centerpiece Empresário, the band oscillates between ticking, time-keeping verses and wailing instrumental breaks that read one part flyaway Dino Jr., another part Raincoats at their sharpest.

They felt like the songs I used to write for Sundance Kids-- I began to stash them away and the little trove began to hold some kind of power of me. These songs would be like completing a circle-- a return to form, not Richard anymore but the Real me, a reunion with myself. With friends, I labored to complete this too-important album, not wanting to call it \"Sundance Kids,\" but stopping just shy of calling it \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\"Shelby\"...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd now the album is done! Friends 2020 was not supposed to be a concept album about friendship in the 2020s, but of course it is. Human relationships aren't supposed to be such a struggle, but these days they are. Society is pushing us apart in myriad ways. Real life social networks were replaced by nefarious online versions under our noses. I think about the sweet serendipity of making friends 15 or 20 years ago and it takes my breath away. I miss people so much. At some point in 2020 it started to sink in that so much was gone and never coming back. I keep longing...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd yet... I can still try my best, to gather, to share, to laugh and cry with people I love. We can still feed each other and put each other up. Our need and inclination to be together is our salvation - something the hungry machine can never destroy completely. So with these songs, of course I offer you my joys and tribulations, hoping we can connect over them. But I also offer my hope, a proverbial light in my window, for the next house show, potluck, picnic, pickup basketball game, rally, wedding, birthday, etc. Friendship is worth fighting for... here's hoping we never stop coming together 🙏🏻\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Let's be friends\"\u003cbr\u003e- The Beach Boys\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDedicated to Max Wirt \u0026lt;3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003eFriends 2020 was recorded in Chicago with Michael Macdonald at Bim Bom studios.

However, until now, neither version has been released. The 2025 versions are more polished with some additional instrumentation and new vocal takes, finalized in the same Langley cabin studio that Eli has recorded tons of past work and other crossover projects. It includes around 6-8 quick vocal correction\/pitch smoothings that took Eli longer to argue Matt for than for him to mix (about 15min to seek out and smooth).

In 2008, the buds got together in a Thomas Street apartment on Capitol Hill, to work on two new songs Eli had recorded and these wound up on a split cassingle with the Seattle band ALASKAS.
