What is Cogito Theory? Maybe something Japanese or something witty. Kienan likes to teabag his knowledge on philosophizers pondering death at college Oh, he longs to be alone as the library closed. I'm not crying its just the cold kissing my eyelids as I walk home. He's got Camus wet dreams pushing everything up the hill. Sophomores moving on and they're all staring in my window. Oh, that South Jersey broad is saying hi to me now. I think I might just quit, its been quite a career. Now its the prep school that's feeling sick getting all Lysergic on the bleachers. Oh, he longs to be alone as the library closed. I'm not crying its just the cold kissing my eyelids as I walk home. He's got Camus wet dreams pushing everything up the hill.

Best Friends 03:52
I hex her friends behind their backs. Los Campensinos do it best... the best you never had. Yes and I'm finally back from two hundred miles away, and you wanna tell me something I don't wanna hear but you'll say that I'm just your bestest friend (bestest friend), and that he's gonna be your bestest man (bestest man) that I can't hold a candle to, and I wish he was dead. I'm glad that he tore your heart out. So you can sit with me and you won't doubt that I'm a quality guy for next semester. Yes and I'm finally back from two hundred miles away, and you wanna tell me something I don't wanna hear but you'll say that I'm just your bestest friend (bestest friend), and that he's gonna be your bestest man (bestest man) that I can't hold a candle to, and I wish he was dead. AND I... WISH HE... WAS DEAD. JUST LIKE THE CLASSIC SPACE WOLVES SONG EXCEPT ITS NOT SEVEN SECONDS LONG AND I HOPE IT CUTS THROUGH AND GETS THE POINT ACROSS.

I was watching a Ryan Gosling action movie when the existential vacuum kicked in. I'm not embarrassed when Only God Forgives. I was only two Steel Reserves in wondering why only God... can... forgive. I don't even want to go outside with all the skeptics in my head sometimes And all that I need is some Montaigne or Epictetus its the aesthetic I need and the ideas I'm feeling. I want you for me. All I need is a jump cut and a promise feeling pointless like a mistake back in the Neon Waves days. Got Montaigne in my brain. And all that I need is some Montaigne or Epictetus its the aesthetic I need and the ideas I'm stealing. I want you for me. All I need is a jump cut and a promise feeling pointless like a mistake back in the Neon Waves days.

Kimono 02:52
All the sex in NYC, floating in front of me, were nothing but a backdrop in the autumn haze. I came here to get laid in some sort of desperate fate, I wanted you to sleep on my shoulder. Its your kimono, Leah, with all the gold and lace and times I tried to throw it all away. I hate myself for my discordant haste. Its a cross, I can't fathom it. Autumn girls, they are compassionate on the eyes. It's an anomaly and I'm trying to break up duplicates of the rest. Please don't go to sleep tonight without me this time. And I'm lost and I want. Its your kimono, Leah, with all the gold and lace and times I tried to throw it all away. I hate myself for my discordant haste.

Ode to an RA 01:03

Mt. Wister 03:54
Its the last day of the expedition, divinely inspired coming down the mountainside. Feels a tad bit irrelevant with the South African mistress reminding me every day. I prayed for substantial change but we got hungover in Confederate states. No one likes a nihilist. But someone's gotta do it... someone's gotta do it. At least I made Ben cry when I told him I almost died. Something so simple that I slipped in on the side while in the end it accomplishes nothing. (OOOOOOOOs) My life has been an Infinite Jest. But I don't got the summer for that. Danger told me I should read it. So I guess someone's gotta do it... someone's gotta do it. At least I made Ben cry when I told him I almost died. Something so simple that I slipped in on the side while in the end it accomplishes nothing. (OOOOOOOOs) Its the dirtiest thing, the dirtiest thing that I ever ever did. I joined a prayer group so I could finally feel something. Fake and free, fake and free, the country club seems alright to me. Its the Versace drip on my canine chip that leaves me feeling tougher. Ya know its a pastiche piece on a Real Estate lease that I'm invested in in the latter Now ya know I'm just trying to find my artistic state at the top of ol' Mt. Wister Fake and free, fake and free, the country club seems alright to me. Its the Versace drip on my canine chip that leaves me feeling tougher. No ya know its a pastiche piece on a Real Estate lease that I'm striving for in the latter And I'm trying to find my artistic state at the top of ol' Mt. Wister

about

MT. WISTER EP: A coagulation of empty suburban teenage angst, booty sweat, and Julie's background vocals.

The second official release from LOCAL ONLYS who are made up of

Mark Lynch on drums n' screams n' subtle grunts,
Jacob Smolinski on vocals, guitar, and big lips,
and Julie Gutekunst on bass, vocals, and overall adorableness.

The gnarliest band at La Salle University. Catch us around Philadelphia or something. Who knows.

Finally, SPECIAL THANKS to JUSTIN FORD who through serendipity became a huge influence in the direction of this EP. The kid spent endless hours slaving away under Mark's fickle tendencies and nitpicky slavedriving. Find him over on Soundcloud @
