  • The Emperor's New Clothes Lathe-Cut 7" Single
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Lathe-cut (by hand!) VERY LIMITED edition 7" single. Why so $$? FWIW, we are not making a profit here. These are handmade and costly to do, but they look great and we wanted to make sure this small handful of leftovers was on offer in case you missed out first time around.

about

A latter-day Betty Goo track that I'd always almost liked but the lyrics were pretty crap. So I re-wrote the verses and suddenly, 20 years later, it did the trick!

lyrics

Back step, side step
Dust-up, rusted
Forgotten, left out in the rain
Pleasure, fissure
Aching, failing
Sounds like nothing good at all
I think I’ve set us up to fall

I spun the bottle, pulled the trigger
But that’s the horse of a different color
I spun the bottle, spilled the liquor
And now we’re faced with the difference

about

Aaron Tap Los Angeles, California

Aaron Tap is terrible at branding. So he releases shit from both his current band Frank Shirts and, lately, the resurrected Boston trio Betty Goo, and maybe someday even a solo record. There are themes, yeah, but mostly it's whatever spirit moves the music that decides what name it goes by.

Aaron also plays and sings with Matt Nathanson, the Paula Kelley Orchestra, and Populuxe.
