#6 MR GOOD You’re not so good Verse At first, you were too meek Could never stand so weak The name that first cursed you Ironic that it means Chorus You’re not so good Through another fellow’s eyes You’re not so nice When you take off your disguise I’m sorry that your name is all the good that remains Verse Though you’re a nasty guy The cash falls from the sky In this mediocre bubble Where standards aren’t too high It’s hard to shine a shit Without a suit jacket You’re reaching out for coattails You worthless charlatan Chorus You’re not so good Through another fellow’s eyes You’re not so nice When you take off your disguise I’m sorry that your name is all the good that remains

about

'Disaster Matinee' is the debut full-length from Seoul's 4-piece Baekma. Mixing post-rock and punk elements, grimy riffs and rich vocals, Baekma manages to slide between genres, ooze style, and generally do whatever they feel like on this wild album. 'Disaster Matinee's' polarity drives each track. Beautiful and rough, it pulls you along for the party and also for the eerie aftermath of the early morning. Baekma are here for fun, and 'Disaster Matinee' brings it to you raw—you get the dance party and the matted hair and regret all at once.
