Love-y-Love 02:38
Dig a hole into the ceiling Feeling coming to me about fall Figure I'm about to come true Coming to you before I go on Ring, Ring, Ring Well, I say I wanna know you Though you get me to pretend Guessing someday I will admit The bullshit really turns me on So on Ring, Ring, Ring And she says she loves Loves

All Friends 03:09
You said you'd go away To a city with no name And I hear people there are lame And all my friends have gone away All my friends are dead All my friends are dead and gone You tried to call my bluff But you're too busy acting tough My style, my stuff All my friends have gone away All my friends are dead All my friends are dead and gone You said you'd go away To a city with no name And I'll just try to be okay But all my friends have gone away All my friends have gone away All my friends have gone away

O, TV 03:28
Beneath the world Such childish musings "How can they think about Heaven? How can they think about Heaven?" Gets frozen shoulderings From walks and wanders "How can they joke about Heaven? How can they joke about Heaven?" O Tv, my Tv O Tv, my Tv Along the screening He finds a camera "I gotta make ends meet I gotta make ends meet How long before we?" He bleeds a hunger "I really care about me I really care about me" O Tv, my Tv O Tv, my Tv One before One between "See how they treat my Heaven? See how they treat my Heaven?" Wandering eye That's all you need "See how they cheat my Heaven? See how they cheat my Heaven?"

Ping Pong 01:09
I am a witness To a typical stranger Hell of a stranger So frigid People on the streets Feeling fine People on the streets You know I love it when they say hello to me It's magic I know it It's magic I know it It's magic I know it It's magic Do me good I felt his cancer Keeping his vision I heard his sermon And I felt nothing

I see a new star blooming in the east Second coming, atomic sunrise What's this fog of new world bomb spirituality? They built the waves That subject us and seal us That confuse and encrypt us That put tumors in our heads To keep us from the real But this is a wave that'll take you to the nameless This is a wave that'll release the pain This is a wave that you'll ride to your waters This is a wave that truly adores This is a wave that'll make you recall This is a wave that'll burn down the web This is a wave about a language of fire This is a wave about a language of love This is a wave that won't steal your number This is a wave that'll turn out the bed This is a wave for the rising water This is a wave that truly adores They built the towers To undo our ability To train us into howls To amuse and confine That would crumble like Jenga They built the waves

Talk Trauma 03:14
Don't go writing no bullshit I know where your story is coming from Your east coast, your west coast is suburbia Talk trauma, talk about trauma Get out of it, Mel I'm in control The touch has come, I'm waiting for the split The spirit's been shipped in from somewhere else Now I'm bordering you, you're bordering me some Not like we were ever waiting for the Sun I'm in control Hide inside Can't get out of there Get me out of here

about

Love, television, friendship, bombs, ping pong, and pale heroes all burn pretty over the smiling, pink-punk prayer of "See Pretty." In this episode, NoPop ventures into the mirror to uncover its sacred visions and hidden inhabitants. Oscar, Louis, and Rachel team up with Oliver Ignatius, chief engineer of Mama Coco's Funky Kitchen, and attempt to ensnare the rabid spirit of NoPop for the first time. See what kind of creatures live in your mirror.

“NoPop is everything your rock band wants to be.”
-DINGUS (included among Dingus' "Best 13 DIY albums of 2014")

"NoPop pretty much gave us what fans of The Pixies have been hoping to get since the 'Doolittle' years: music that's at once unpretentious, unpredictable, wildly explosive and absolutely memorable."
-The Deli Magazine

“...NoPop, a riot for the rule breakers born out of the culture of New York and the art of pop music. They have beached the tides of no-wave, stagnating its choppy waters and providing a fresh new alternative.”
-Daniel Thomas, Independent Music News (included among Thomas' Top 10 Independent Albums of 2014")

“NoPop has my full attention.”
-Ground Floor Go (“See Pretty” awarded Album of the Week)

“The sheer amount of styles, sensations and experiences compressed into this slim 16 minute package (“See Pretty”) is amazing. I was blown away when I saw the length of this release, it really feels like a complete, full length album.”
-Zaza Lipsoidiac, Speak Into My Good Eye
