    Soul Asylum vocalist and guitarist Dave Pirner, says that making their twelfth studio full-length, Hurry Up And Wait, was a completely seamless, enjoyable, and productive experience. The album was co-produced with John Fields—and recorded at Minneapolis’ Nicollet Studios, the same place where the celebrated rock band recorded seminal early albums released on Twin/Tone Records—the album reflects Soul Asylum’s usual eclectic approach.

    Lyrically, songs dive into topics such as grappling with emotional and geographic disconnection, navigating romantic ebbs and flows, and the power of embracing optimism despite it all. Sonically, Hurry Up And Wait features thrashing songs indebted to punk (“Hopped Up Feelin’”) and classic rock (“Got It Pretty Good”), folk-influenced pop-rock (“Silly Things”), and gorgeous jangle-pop (lead single “If I Told You.”)

lyrics

Please relieve me
Leave before someone sees me
The cloak outlasts the dagger
What a mystery
I don’t know who done it, I just know it ain’t me

You know that you want to, want to, want to, want to, want to
You know that I want to, want to, want to, want to, want to
You know that you-

What’s wrong with this telephone?
This telephone used to work fine
Beats someone’s telephone
Some telephone better than mine
What’s wrong with this telephone?
What’s, what’s wrong with this telephone?
What’s, what’s wrong with this?
What’s wrong with this?
What’s wrong with this?

She’s so easy
Her signals always busy
She holds the rights to women
Exclusively
She’s the one, she’s the one that you’ll never be

You know that you want to, want to, want to, want to, want to
You know that I want to, want to, want to, want to, want to
You know that you-

What’s wrong with this telephone?
This telephone used to work fine
What’s wrong with this telephone?
Some telephone better than mine
What’s wrong with this telephone?
What’s, what’s wrong with this telephone?
What’s, what’s wrong with this?
What’s wrong with this?
What’s wrong with this?
What’s wrong with this?

Please go easy
Please go easy on me
The ocean tracks a river
Deliver me
To a place where I belong

You know that you want to, want to, want to, want to, want to
You know that I want to, want to, want to, want to, want to
You know that you-

What’s wrong with this Internet?
This Internet used to work fine
What’s wrong with this picture?
This picture used to be mine
What’s wrong with this telephone?
What’s, what’s wrong with this telephone?
What’s, what’s wrong with this?
What’s wrong with this?
What’s wrong with this?
What’s wrong with this?
