"More Woke" I call I call I call murder. Yeah it’s true, I went out for a walk And, as soon as I left they were taking it to the streets. I kept going and merged with the crowd whose faces, most like mine, were shouting “it’s what we see.” “This is murder - the state’s out of order and you’ve killed one of our human kin” That next moment I turned right on Hope St As soon as I saw the line of police. We don’t care to be "more woke" than You just need to call it as it is. We don’t care to be "more woke." You call defense, we call murder. You. You call law, we call murder. In America, I call murder. How many times do you need to hear a lie before you consider it true? Oh, as I kept on walking got more silent Oh, could I keep seeing through this hue? No, "your silence won’t protect you." How many times will you believe a lie before you can see That from a pale mouth, this is murder For a dark mouth, this is murder From a tired mouth: this is murder With a dry mouth: this is murder (It’s not about more woke it’s about more work.) We don’t care to be "more woke."

about

“More Woke” is a reflection on racial injustice inspired by the 2020 uprisings in the wake of George Floyd’s murder. Writing this song has been an inspiration for us to act in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and provide on ramps to action for our community!

We aim to put our money where our mouth is by donating all proceeds from the sale of "More Woke" in perpetuity to the Let Us Breathe Fund (northstarfund.org/about/let-us-breathe-fund/). We’d be honored if you join us in supporting them by purchasing this single - we suggest a minimum of $2, but there's no ceiling. Thank you for your generosity and for showing up with us!

"More Woke" features recordings from the protests we attended this summer. The chants become the foundation for the production, weaving in and out of synths, conversing with percussion, and ultimately determining the tempo and structure of the song.
