Cavalanche - Red Mama

The house was like a suburban youth apparatus, filled with religious smiles I stared at through my shuttered window sometime last week. Sometime Last Week is the 3 track debut from LA’s Cavalanche. Listen to it here.

The white meager sheet wouldn’t get away the white noise and white light stinging suburbia like a sunny bumble bee. I swung my neck round to get the look outside it was asking of me. Veiled by the cotton was a woman no more than five feet tall and two feet wide with a stomach full of a baby almost double the size. The fake air from the vent on top slapped the meager sheet, and the slap made the woman’s head throw back in my veiled view, which made her look smiling. Almost a religious smile, a throw the head back smile tilted between the folds. An unannounced wind walked in and the sheet flew behind my head. It stuck there like some mummy man. Turns out she was really smiling. Until she walked into her catholic house with shutters and scooters and tricycles and bicycles, stuck behind jail-ish pines, doll houses, cocker spaniels, 4 by 4 plastic urine pools, and an array of badminton birds that turn the grass into a sea of white pool balls on a green pool table - the house was like a suburban youth apparatus. I went back to sleep.
