1.	Stay In Love (2nite) 04:28	lyrics	buy track
"Follow exit signs" but she don't know what that means She's got that fight, fight, fight the deeper in the night she goes I know, I know, I know, I know the roads are turning Yes I know, I know, I know, our love is turning You got to rise above You got to stay in love You got to stay in love You got to stay in love There's moments when she cries but she don't know what she said there was a bang, bang, bang click! The silence just sticks around I know, I know, I know, I know she's always changing yes I know, I know, I know, she's always changing But Let's stay in love tonight Partial to the light but the city makes it's bed It was a boom boom boom boom in a room filled with friends I know, I know, I know, I know these moments make her Yes i know, I know, I know, I know I'll never change her So Let's stay in love tonight

Hidin' out in dirty corners, my darling babe You're awful word I've tried to rhyme I'm gonna look you up in an old dictionary I'm gonna write you on down 'cause you won't make sense next time And if we make it alright, if we make it all rhyme It's alright, it's ok And if we play it just like we did the first time my mind gets blown away I'm gonna hold my head in muddy water I read that it could make that process seem less contrived I'm gonna write it down in an old notebook I have If I write it all down well it won't make sense next time And if we make it alright, if we make it all rhyme It's alright, its ok And if we play it just like we did the next time My mind gets blown away I'm gonna throw it all out the window again Let's call it plausible, let's call it possible And if we make it alright, if we make it alright It;s alright, it's ok And if we don't play it like we did the next time my mind gets blown away And if we make it all right, if we make it all rhyme It's alright, it's ok And if we don't play it like we did the next time it's alright, alright, It's alright it just goes that way
3.	So Afraid of Losing You 04:45	lyrics	buy track
I'm a jealous kind of lover I hold that light onto one another Don't you go back into the darkness You've been there so long Stay with me here longer, longer I'm so afraid of losing you, I'm trying not to lose my cool We set the stage of doubting what we wanted It's simple enough, still that darkness taunted Redefine a jealous kind of lover Hold that light onto one another, another I'm so afraid of losing you, I'm trying not to lose my cool Take this heart for your crazy love Why don't you tear me apart with your crazy love? Break my heart with your crazy love Why don't you tear me apart with your crazy? I'm so afraid of losing you, I'm trying not to lose my cool
4.	Conversations & Proclamations 03:44	lyrics	buy track
Take Take it or leave I wanted reasons to believe in everything that I see but I don't believe it So I shake Shake it to leave it I wanna self-realize by myself but I forgot to conceive it Yes love You love it or leave it I've got a love like a loaded gun and it's ready for the dealin' It's coming untied, what happened to my mind? In these old conversations and proclamations of everything true It's written down now, the certainties of age It's coming untied, what happened to my mind? In these old conversations and proclamations of everything true It's written down now, the certainties of age Shut Shut it then leave it I've had 18 years on these rungs and time is still fleetin' Speaking of time Time isn't healin' When the clock taunts every wrong move the right way Is deceivin' Yes, yes love You love it or leave it I've got a love like a loaded gun and it's ready for the dealin' It's coming untied, what happened to my mind? In these old conversations and proclamations of everything true It's written down now, the certainties of age The day I saw a face standing in my place With these old conversations and proclamations of everything true Everything will change if provided the space My time is slipping passed, I've lost all I grasped In these old conversations and proclamations of everything true It's written down now, the certainties of age It's written down now, the certainties of age

Write the word, turn the stone, build a fire, till the soil You walk on Words are air, sound, and tone Ideas come, ideas go like the weather Like the weather You got it all down Everything is in it's place You got it buttoned up Trying to create some space Between the inside of your blood and veins You got it all down You know the game, you know when you're in it You get too close, you get tangled in it But love takes time and time is freedom The work is hard but it's work with meaning You got it all down Everything is in it's place You got it buttoned up Trying to create some space Between the inside of your blood and veins You got it all down Windrider, wind, windrider, Windrider is comes in the night Windrider, wind, windrider, Windrider is comes in the night Windrider, wind, windrider, Windrider is comes in the night You got it all down Everything is in it's place You got it buttoned up Trying to create some space Between the inside of your blood and veins You got it all down Windrider, wind, windrider, Windrider is comes in the night Windrider, wind, windrider, Windrider is comes in the night Windrider, wind, windrider, Windrider is comes in the night

about

Kodascope, a sextet from Kansas City is releasing a 6-song self-titled EP on May 12, 2015. Harnessing funk, soul, pop, and electronic influences, the band has crafted an album reflective of their energetic live performances. The current line-up of the band started playing shows in the summer of 2014 and was well-received by dancing audiences. Not wanting to release an album that strayed too far from that experience, the band began recording live in their West Bottoms studio in the fall. “We would basically lock ourselves in the studio and play through the songs a few times and try to capture the energy we have as a live band,” says Justin Skinner, percussionist.

Holing up a couple times a week for a month in Skinner’s studio, the band knocked out 8 eight songs for a full length album. “We are all album-lovers, so we wanted to put songs on this first release that fit together and have something in common thematically,” explains singer Mike Tipton. The EP was mixed and produced by Skinner over the course of the winter. In December 2014, the band released “Wind Rider” on ITunes and Spotify, along with a self-produced video. “We wanted to get something out to show the fruits of our labor and that song shows a different side to our music than the dance stuff. It’s a pretty good tune for the winter months,” says drummer Matt Hayden.

While the current line-up has only been around for a year, the members that make up Kodascope have been embedded in the burgeoning Kansas City music culture for over a decade playing jazz, folk, roots, pop, and electronic music in various bands. The members are all active in multiple projects like Anna Cole and the Other Lovers, Monta At Odds, Found A Job, The Waldo Jazz Collective, Claire and The Crowded Stage, and Brutus. Megan Zander (Dream Wolf, REN) and Camry Ivory (Chris Meck & The Guilty Birds) lend their amazing vocal talents to the EP on a couple tracks: "So Afraid of Losing You," and "It's Alright, It's OK."

The first single from the EP is “Stay In Love (2Nite),” a song born of 70s and 80s funk influences.
The band will be hosting a release party at The Brick in KC on May 23rd.
