Shoot For Lust (And Aim To Kill)

One by one they come to town

With a silver gun in a dust cloud

Their spirits tainted. Their faces painted

Always sure the gold is pure

Where will you go

What will you do

How Godless is your human will

To shoot for lust and aim to kill

With blue above and hell below

They steal from love to run the show

They’re all the same. They need to blame

Always sure of their character

Where will you go

What will you do

How Godless is your human will

To shoot for lust and aim to kill

Each one outdone by the one who won

Where will you go

What will you do

How Godless is your human will

To shoot for lust and aim to kill

PRECIOUS

Winter’s only so cold with never in your bones Leaving words unspoken is an empty gravestone

I’m not alive to throw away my time on earth is precious

I am a life, a jewel, a gem of light, my time on earth is precious

Hunger’s only so bold when love has turned away
Turn your sword into the soil and feed on your new day

I’m not alive to throw away my time on earth is precious
I am a life, a jewel, a gem of light, my time on earth is precious

Who can turn the tides?
Who can change a mind?
Suffering needs loneliness, and fear hides from the light

I’m not alive to throw away my time on earth
I am a life, a jewel, a gem of light while I’m on earth

I’m not alive to throw away my time on earth is precious

I am a life, a jewel, a gem of light, my time on earth is precious

Time on earth is precious

Amy Blaschke's 7th full-length album, Newage Daydream, feels both alive with the presence of live performances as well as cinematically surreal-noir. Think Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell’s song-child serenading you within the glow of Blade Runner. Amy Blaschke writes in poems and confessional impressions, and with Joshua Grange's production, the album coheres vintage and futuristic sound palettes, moving from simple to raw to transcendent with ethereal and psychedelic effect. The title is a nod to Bowie's Moonage Daydream, while Blaschke wields the word "Newage" to provoke the listener into nebulous emotional and transformational spaces.

Recorded at Resistor Studio in Nashville, TN, throughout 2018 and 2019, Newage Daydream was produced, engineered, mixed and arranged by Joshua Grange. The album finds Blaschke and Grange collaborating for the second time after an incredible synergy working together on Desert Varnish in Los Angeles, Blaschke's 4th full-length album, released in 2013.

Growing up in Washington, Blaschke learned to play guitar at 14 and began landing shows in local venues by the time she was 16. Inspired by the lo-fi and literate alt-rock of artists like Liz Phair, Elliott Smith, and Mary Lou Lord—along with a cassette copy of Joni Mitchell’s Blue— Blaschke steadily developed her voice as a songwriter, and in 1999 released her debut album, Red Letter.

Blaschke writes in poems and confessional impressions, moving from simple to raw to transcendent with ethereal and psychedelic effect. And, while prolific creativity has guided her path as a songwriter through the years, that Amy Blaschke’s dreamy, airy, singular purr is perhaps the most affecting instrument in the mix is a testament to the sheer vitality of her recordings.

The single, “Precious,” is a part of Amy Blaschke's 7th full-length album, Newage Daydream, which feels both alive with the presence of live performances as well as cinematically surreal-noir. Think Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell’s song-child serenading you within the glow of Blade Runner. The title is a nod to Bowie's Moonage Daydream, while Blaschke wields the word "Newage" to provoke the listener into transformational spaces.

Recorded at Resistor Studio in Nashville, TN, throughout 2018 and 2019, Newage Daydream was produced, engineered, and mixed by Joshua Grange, drawing on both vintage and futuristic sound palettes.
