    Mortal Enemies is a collaboration with Josh Kaufman, known as a member of supergroups Bonny Light Horseman and Muzz, and for his work on records by Bob Weir, The Hold Steady, Taylor Swift, and many more. Recorded in 2013, Mortal Enemies blurs the line between confessional writing and character-based narratives with staggering intimacy. Comprised of nine Nagler originals and one cover (Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy"), the adventurous musical arrangements touch on folk, psychedelia, soul, and Tropicália. Vinyl includes an MP3 download card.

lyrics

I'm in a situation
and all that can get me out of it
is one more drink
I need to sit in the park
watch the chess players stare at their pieces
and think
You say it's like pulling teeth
getting me to speak
a word that isn't shrouded
but you can't be my girl
or live in my world
it's too crowded

You say I'm wasting time
I can go back to school and I don't even have
to pay tuition
You've got all these big plans
that with timing and commitment will come
to fruition
I say it's like shoveling snow
Hearing you go
on and on about it
But you can't be my girl
or live in my world
it's too crowded

It's too crowded with ghosts of bedrooms future and past
It's too crowded to fill it with anything that might last

We need to get the check
say good night and walk to our
respective destinations
If we were wrong in retrospect
we'll just have to use our
vivid imaginations
You say I'm just letting go
and I've given you no reason to doubt it
that's why you can't be my girl
or live in my world
it's too crowded
