tinman73 Sadly the last album by the ladies and, as with all the others, it does not disappoint - great bass and drum driven art-punk, superb...with a tinge of sadness.
THANK YOU KF FOR ALL THE GREAT MUSIC - YOU"LL BE MISSED :(

supersonic-symbiotic Kitten Forever is an amazing band, and with each album they somehow sound even better. It's hard to pick a favorite song on this album as they are all so good, but I'll pick Air Dry because it's so fun to sing along with. Favorite track: Air Dry.

Wesley Meier I had the pleasure of seeing Kitten Forever perform the autumn before "7 Hearts" was released. Immediately I was taken by the distinctive originality of their sound. With "Semi-Permanent" the band is at a fever pitch. The lyrics are all intelligent, clever and delivered with a brilliant force and brattiness. Fun Fact, Chores, Sour Cherries, Big, Hell Hole, Pinky Swear...the WHOLE ALBUM are all standout tracks! Favorite track: Sour Cherries.

Fun Fact 02:31
lyrics
we spark together like we’re made of flint i thought you could take a hint i tell lies and feel stuck inside born to die or born to try x 2 - quit asking me to explain i wanna be a mystery + feel my pain - you are the beautiful baby you are the false positive you cry until i care again you pry until i give in - here’s another fun fact about me i’m the worst i’m the first i’m an enemy here’s another fun fact about me go insane can’t complain 1 2 3 - you are the beautiful baby you are the false positive you cry until i care again you pry until i give in - there’s a list inside of me that reads like its from another century - quit asking me to explain i wanna be a mystery + feel my pain here’s another here’s another here’s another fun fact

Chores 01:57
lyrics
shake off your velvet get dressed in the dark you can stuff it with flowers bring the baby to the bar you can eat up my whole life but I’ll get caught in your throat and i will enter a raffle for winning your idols - ooh it’s the eternal intake you do the chores on weeknights cuz I've been met with silence compact and temperless while you’ve been moving around this whole damn mess cuz if you know how to starve it then you know how to kill and if you know how to boss it then you know how to really go - shake off your velvet get dressed in the dark you can stuff it with flowers bring the baby to the bar you can move through my body the loudest this story is sequined and tacky a medallion for boring me - ooh it’s the eternal intake you do the chores on weeknights cuz I've been met with silence been compact and temperless while you were moving around this whole damn mess cuz if you know how to starve it then you know how to kill and if you know how to boss it then you know how to really go go go go go go go go go it ain’t so bad when you’re gossiping the bad one! - is it a nasty trip or self-protection? slow to heal or just confusion? who'll play me in your wall projections? super cool or no perfection - shake out your violets undress for your art you can stuff it with velvet well when can you start? might be in the same house but they'll stamp your card just to exist in the backyard

The Hawk 02:09
lyrics
you do it cuz you're used to it, don't you? just cuz you're hesitant doesn't mean you're used to it collecting all the charms for it doesn't mean it's gonna fit on you - your shirts untucked, your mouth is open in the partial spiral you're so totally grounded root holy truth from relic skin and that's deep dirt you're digging in i can't talk much but I can run like a mouse in the field with the hawk overhead - you do it cuz you're hesitant, don't you? you break it you're buying it but you're not gonna sell a frail present, are you? - put it, put it, put it, back! ooh, the hawk leave me in your daydream love me like a lightshow leave it like you're gonna put it, put it, back - underground or on a pedestal the personal is critical turn around and around like a mouse in the field with the hawk overhead - like the hawk a perfect dive when I'm on the shallow end that's deep dirt you're digging in, baby!

Sour Cherries 02:05
lyrics
hello hello - they tasted sad hello hello - i cried in bed hello hello - “eat the pit!” hello hello - i stayed home sick - used to have so many loves haven't thought about em in so long ate them up + washed them out wasn't worth a single one - cut the cake + wake up late who am i to disintegrate? call your mom and call your dad dialtone sings inside my head - disconnect to reconnect disconnect to reconnect sour cherries never forget hello hello - can't take me anywhere can't take me anywhere - no one, no more - hello hello - used to have so many loves haven't thought about em in so long ate them up + washed them out wasn't worth a single one

Afterlife 2 01:43
lyrics
low life you’re always putting on a show i hear you talking on the radio it hurts until it stops you crawl until you walk it is what it is what it is what it is - low life / afterlife disappearing / reappearing it’s a true connection crossover true connection crossover but you don’t even know your own fucking name - one of these things is not like the other sink or swim or don’t even bother get out of my house get out of my head get out of my house get out of my bed it is what it is what it is what it is - low life / afterlife disappearing / reappearing it’s a true connection crossover true connection crossover but you don’t know your own fucking name - and you don’t even know your own fucking game so put your best foot forward best foot forward if you're tired of loving with nobody to love - one of these things is not like the other true connection crossover

Air Dry 01:56
lyrics
eat the bouquet drunk at the fair pull me from the charged cemetery ground cut me from your hair - pulling up the trap is like pressing through the cracks will we ever be the cave to each other's fang? it's not complicated - love to dissolve to film our friends cropping out the edge of this particular gift shop transcendence - walking down that path is like writing on the cast will we ever be the cave to each other's fang? it's not complicated - press the seed get flower face you put it on and you walk away walk away you wanna be there towards the shine on horizon but you don’t wanna think of it when you can be here you can be here you can be here you can be here - pulling up the trap is like pressing through the cracks will we ever be the cave to each other's fang? it's not complicated - walking in the trap is like pressing through the cracks will we ever be the cave to each other's fang? it's not complicated

Hell Hole 01:40
lyrics
poke me with a broken heart don’t tell me that’s all you’ve got bad time baby, i understand oh come on, he’s just a man - bleed into me, i wanna wanna be your whimper queen bleed into me i wanna wanna be your whimper queen na na na na na - things are dark until they’re not the only way through is out it gets dark but it won’t last this is all just in the past - bleed into me, i wanna wanna be your whimper queen bleed into me, i wanna wanna be your whimper queen na na na na na - romance roadkill, stay in bed let me into your head repeat mantra - “be here now” seep it in and push it out - bleed into me bleed into me bleed into me i wanna wanna be your whimper queeeeeeeen - things are dark until they’re not the only way through is ouuuuuuuut - bleed into me bleed into me bleed into me i wanna wanna be your whimper queen

No Man's Land 02:23
lyrics
brought you into this world and i can take you out of it send a smoke signal to your friends on the other side dark blue sky inside my mind you’re doing it and you’re doing time - one man’s trash is another man’s treasure what does it mean if it’s not forever one man’s trash is another man’s treasure what does it mean if it’s not forever brick by brick you built it up brick by brick you built it up one more person to give a fuck you built it up - move me where i should be treat me like a mystery i wish no one was me i’m so fucked i can’t see - build it up, build it up - pink or blue tell me what to do don’t question me, let’s question you disappeared into a feeling i cut loose it felt freeing - one man’s trash is another man’s treasure what does it mean if it’s not forever one man’s trash is another man’s treasure what does it mean if it’s not forever brick by brick you built it up brick by brick you built it up one more person to give a fuck you built it up - you can’t have a good time with me am i old or am i shitty i make up my own mind you can’t tell me that i’m fine - build it up, build it up - one man’s trash is another man’s treasure what does it mean if it’s not forever one man’s trash is another man’s treasure what does it mean if it’s not forever

lyrics
i can't hear you when you're talking through your teeth i can't hear you - hold me up into the light i'm not your girl i'm not what's right a blue eyed baby a dream you had you want me waiting til the taste goes bad a popular lover its one or the other weak knees lazy don't say you love me passive aggressive but i get the message you do what you gotta do to be right - i can't hear you when you're talking through your teeth - its peaceful but it's painful its two white doves or an angel you lift your true skin helium human two twin ghosts in brand new clothes coming through the wire calling you home coming through the wire calling you home did you rock the boat just to put on your coat and do what you gotta do to survive - i can't hear you when you're talking through your teeth - i wish that i could but i can't cos i won't cos i'm your problem now look at me before you leave its a bad idea that you pull like weeds bury the lead pretend to be happy - i can't hear you when you're talkin’ you’re talkin’

rub my face into the dirt make sure that it really hurts never gonna be the 1 1 1 1 always there for fun fun fun fun never gonna be the 1 1 1 1 1 - i know i’m a vacant stare i know you can’t compare i know i’m a vacant stare i know that i’m very rare - big body nobody big mood big attitude x 2 - rub my face into the dirt make sure that it really hurts never gonna be the 1 1 1 1 always there for fun fun fun fun never gonna be the 1 1 1 1 1 - i’ve got all this skin, nothing to do a big bag that feels like glue

Pinky Swear 02:23
lyrics
we look tough we don’t give up we look for love we like it rough we bite down big time more than we knew what’s wild in me is what’s wild in you We’re born again kids with broken drums it’s a race it’s a chase for number one - i give you gold but you’re semi permanent two steps back you ask was it worth it rearrange it all stays the same with the petals pressed against the frame with the house on fire the house in flames - palm to palm thumb to thumb you pinky swear so don’t play dumb is it true that i dream of you and you dream about me but if i dream about you and how to prove how to prove how to prove how to prove how to prove that it all belongs to you - i give you gold but you’re semi permanent two steps back you ask was it worth it rearrange it all stays the same with the petals pressed against the frame with the house on fire the house in flames - you’re alive cross your heart and hope to die its alive its alive its alive its alive
