Dirty from Mother Engine by Amiture Music

Dirty started with this bouncing 808 beat that’s still on the final recording. In a way, this song is our most indebted to early hip-hop production on the album because of its melodic relationships. Each melody, guitar, bass, vocal, etc… is in a different key. This way we were able to find a darker environment that reflects the textures and soundscapes that older sampling technology had. Different samples in Dirty fit together regardless of their tuning, creating a cacophony of anxious gestures that somehow become a glittery dance track. We recorded each part live in our studio and not on a sampler, you can feel that kind of live, almost like theater, expressionist bravado. The lyrics tell you all you need to know about the ideal way to listen to Dirty.

Lyrics

I want to figure out my sense of you
It’s not coming back
It’s not coming true
You lie a millions time before the hand of god can give you eyes
Is it worth the save

You’re just like me
You wanna be a lady
You wanna make it dirty

At night I feel alive when I think about the touch you gave me once
And I have to say
And now I see you with this girl
I’ve never seen before
But does she know who you are

You’re just like me
You wanna be a lady
You wanna make it dirty
You’re just like me
You wanna be a lady
You wanna make it dirty

Before you go and leave this town
I want to taste it one more time
For years and years and years
I wanna feel you one more time
