about

ambush bug's proud warrior brother is ashamed of his clown-like older sibling.

lyrics

class, insecta; kingdom, animalia
phylum, arthropoda; family, reduviidae

my brother precedes me, my brother, the disgrace
no cockroach or bedbug--he chose the human race

and not the average mortal, no!
idiot, he went higher
stupid bug, stupid bug, stupid phymata

suborder heteroptera, you can blind a thing
cousin melanolestes, we are poison, we are king
we can kill a man

but we're nothing against steel
stupid brother, stupid bug!
bloody imbecile

Rachel Taylor Brown image

Rachel Taylor Brown Portland, Oregon

Rachel was born in Portland and lives nearby with her beloved husband Jay. She makes disturbing yet ultimately sensible songs you can sometimes dance to.

She sees loads of ugly and beauty in the world. Trying to capture that sweet and sour thing in a song is what she’s mostly trying to do.

She records with audio midwife and dear friend Jeff Stuart Saltzman and his cats.

Thanks for stopping by! ... more
