The Prisoner 03:43
I am a prisoner today I've got no place to go and nothing to say I count the hours watch the days slip away I've got some time to waste and there is no escape There is no escape And now they say I told u so And now they say u should've known But they'll never understand just how it feels to be alive. They'll never just what it takes to be alive. They'll never understand until the day that they have died. But they're not so innocent. And I'm not so innocent I've got no visitors today. Just me myself and I, A bird in a cage I'm such a pitiful display A crime I won't admit but I've got to pay Yeah I've got to pay And now they say I told u so And now they say u should've known But they'll never understand just how it feels to be alive. They'll never just what it takes to be alive. They'll never understand until the day that they have died. But they're not so innocent. And I'm not so innocent They're not so innocent And I'm not so innocent

Golden Web 03:04
I met a lonely widow Ended up in her silk bed By the time I had awoken I was hanging by a thread She was cunning and a recluse And she spun a golden web And in time i'll be injected I will end up dead. Now I'm stuck here in this pattern And i can't seem to break free I have chosen not to struggle I'll just sip my cup of tea She's been waiting oh so patient But I've never been so still I can feel every vibration Cause I know she'll Kill. Weave your web. Leave my head. Weave your web. Leave my head. Weave your web. Leave my head. Weave your web. Leave my head.

Underground 04:18
Every room is getting smaller Every inch is getting shorter Every ceiling’s getting lower And my will is getting weaker I’m underground, I’m underground I’m turned around, I’m upside down I’m underground, I’m underground I’m feeling down, Gonna turn it around My blood is running colder And my heart is beating faster The walls are coming closer Closing in just like a casket I’m underground, I’m underground I’m turned around, I’m upside down I’m underground, I’m underground I’m feeling down, Gonna turn it around I’m on the run I’m on the road I’m growing up I’m growing old I’m only skin I’m only bones

about

UBYK's first EP "Matryoshka" was a showcase of simplicity - recorded almost entirely with acoustic guitars and vocals. "The Odds" EP introduces dub-tinged basslines, flamenco guitars, samples and groovy drums to create a uniquely L.A. sound.

The songs on the album were played live in various venues before UBYK entered the studio and have morphed throughout the recording process. The album was recorded at "Dodger Studiom" - a DIY studio in L.A.'s Echo Park neighborhood. Additional mixing/recording was done in "The Dream Room" and "Spike Studios."

What are "The Odds" of being in the right place at the right time? UBYK's new EP is for anyone who considers "The Odds" of how they got to where they are today.
