Washington - I Believe You Liar
Spritely, bouncy, instantly catchy local indie pop from Megan Washington, who wrote everything and played most of the instruments. Talented smart pop goodness.
When I’m gone don’t bury me, I will not lie under this town I will not lie where I can’t see, please don’t put me underground If the day is sunny, let my father say some words If the night is starry, let my mother tell you all her stories.
