Lyric zine of the debut Grooblen LP, One of Four!

About the album: One of Four, Grooblen’s debut LP, is a sonic surreal musical circus spanning everything from the ridiculousness of the human body’s capabilities to heal, to geckos, to meandering along gardens and coastlines, dreams about murderous eyeballs, puppetry, and so much more. The album was written during frontperson Ellie Stokes’s diagnosis with a rare optic nerve condition during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which proved to be a fantastical, surreal time. Side A: “Diagnosis” is a soft welcome into this flippity-dippity surreal reality, with visions of lush green gardens, friendly lizards, dancing carnivorous plants, singing spiders, while Side B: “Solution” plunges the listener into a scarier, heavier carnival dreamscape full of alien brains, terrified dogs, and controlling puppets.

One of Four was written and recorded in San Francisco with some of Ellie’s very best friends, her brother William Stokes (drums), and Jack Stancik (bass), and is a true testament to their inseparable friendship, bound by experimental, jazz-rock melodies and a passion for reptiles!

Yellow hair Round, googly dim eyes Black bat with purple wings but it can't fly White rabbit trying to hop with strings attached A hand up its aaaa... Yeah I have feet... But are they mine? The ground I walk on was made with working people in mind So if I walk without having a specific aim Am I wasting that road's time? Am I? Am I? Am I? Am I?
