These aren't cased in a conventional sense, but wrapped in plastic and sandwiched between quality printed cardstock. As low-cost, low-impact, and eco-friendly as I could get. Professionally printed and burned, so likely a lot nicer than the home-brewed ones I was putting out before.

lyrics
Not a poet, not a writer,
Only know the same 6 chords
Got very lucky with your friends and your van
Putting too much work into your band.
Not married, not happy,
Only smiling driving out of state playing basements with your friends,
No money, still drinking,
And we’re all so full of wonder how this ends.
The lines around your eyes,
From when you smile, and when you cry,
Are the same damn thing
And that is not a lie.
Greasy pants and dirty t-shirts,
Constant dirt underneath the nails,
Friendly parkinglots and driveways,
Sweaty hugs and open highways,
Driving sober you might get to see the end,
Lone guitar with sturdy spellbook,
To two piece guitar and bass,
Bring in your brother,
And the one from another mother,
You all can share this dream you’ve gotta chase:
The lines around your eyes,
From when you smile, and when you cry,
Are the same damn thing
And that is not a lie.
The lines around your eyes,
From when you smile, and when you cry,
Are the same damn thing
And that is not a lie.
The lines around your eyes,
From when you smile, and when you cry,
Are the same damn thing
And that is not a lie.

*****
Ah yes, the space in the notes where I apologize; well this time I once again didn’t rip anyone off (aside from the parody art as usual.) So I’ve decided to change this apology space to a ‘thank you’ space. Frankly Lost would like to thank Rachael, Johnny & Tiff (congratulations!), Brooke, Reggie, Prettyboy, Apes of the State, Avery, Chuck, the OH7! family, Zoe, MWC, and the Bees. We apologize for any confusion or anyone we’ve missed.
Frankly Lost is a rogue personality fronting a slowly-ever-growing band of misfits making highly energetic and earnest DIY
music that feels somewhere between fringey singer-songwriter Art and ska-punk. Following in the tradition of American Folk music, their works are musically and lyrically simple, charged with emotion, and inspired by acts such as Erik Petersen’s Mischief Brew and Frank Turner....more
I've made music with these guys before, and will likely do so again soon. They're a great group of dudes, tons of fun live, and I like this album a lot. Hoping to hear more from them soon. Frankly Lost
Before I started recording music in a van, I was recording in a basement. That's where I recorded this excellent folk-punk EP for Jonny Bear. He's a great friend and a rad musician. Frankly Lost
Post-addiction introspection, the scorn of the heartbroken, and a rippin' bouncy mandolin. Get angry, be hurt, smile a lot, and definitely shout along with your stereo. It'll get stuck in your head. Frankly Lost
supported by 10 fans who also own “Portrait of the Artist at 30”
A timeless album from one of the all time folk punk greats. I am so grateful for Pat the Bunny having blessed mine and so many other's with their music! This album will always be here for me. junehenryfan4lyfe
