about

"Arnold Wolf" sounds like you're leaning your ear against the amp cone. Is about a former boxer in his 60s. He's excessive, he looks like something out of a 1970s movie. We tried to give back the impression of something with its feet firmly planted on the ground, heavy, proceeding slowly but rhythmically, like a pulse. We tried to get close to the haunting sound of hill country blues. Octavers, fuzz, and mixing amplifiers with direct input, to have the guitars sounding like they're in your face.

lyrics

I’m an old fashioned man
I lift ten pounds more than you can
I drink vinegar for breakfast and
I've got rat poison in my veins

I’m an old fashioned man
I’m the Wolf, I gave myself a name
I smoke cigarettes with hookers and
I own the world record of regret.

I'm an old fashioned man
El boxeo, was my shame
Nicotine like protein
That’s my favorite gasoline

I'm an old fashioned man
Met a woman last weekend
She wakes up late in my bed,
No, you can’t leave your toothbrush, babe

I was a mannish boy, now I'm old
I am fat, lonely and bold
I played the drums in a sick blues band
I’m a fool cause I shot a man
