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.

Includes unlimited streaming of Mortal Enemies via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Your flight touched down on Tuesday
at JFK
and I offered to come and collect you
in the usual way
With the shades on your head
that you borrowed years ago
I shouldn’t cry, because I know
You’ve always had her heart

I left you at her doorstep
like an abandoned child
Holding a fresh bouquet of lilacs
and with your eyes all tired and wild
With the news that she had waited
several lifetimes to hear
I shouldn’t cry, because it’s clear
You’ve always had her heart

You’ve always had her heart
and liked to flaunt it
You’ve always had her heart
but didn’t want it

And you hurt me more than you know
without any cruel intent
As vague as you had been before
I knew what you meant
When you said you were coming back
to seal your fate
I shouldn’t cry, ‘cause it’s too late
You’ve always had her heart
I shouldn’t cry, but I can’t wait
You’ve always had her heart

To See the Next Part of the Dream

Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough

Really cool album from an amazing artist. So many different sounds going on. It's tricky for me to choose just one favorite track. I also love the albums he's produced/helped with. Legend. alex0rm
