Masterpiece 04:18
You don’t have to paint me a masterpiece You don’t have to prove nothing to nobody Cause it’s already clear as the blue sky I wanna burn up all my dreams and walk the earth by your side I wanna burn up all my dreams and walk the earth by your side You don’t have to tell all your secrets to be given five stars out of five you can keep them for your own sweet mind I wanna burn up all my dreams and walk the earth by your side I wanna burn up all my dreams and walk the earth by your side and do no good and stay all night forget the ties that bind me now and waste my time away Waste my time Take your time Waste my time Waste my time

Halos 03:22
Don’t know if it’s a lunatic thought on which all stars hang Here comes the myth, by my side, you’ll be needing me sometime It’s hanging over like a crown, when I’m letting you down Turns my blood blue and bound, burning sweet heavy loads down my cheeks Goddamn the heat of the halos that hang around, when I’m gonna leave you out How come I’m still doing you wrong somehow? How come I’m still doing you wrong? You’re out of it, forget all this, just like you spit on everything I’ll pick up my dress, by my side, oh my night, oh my knife Could not scrape you if I tried, you would not wait in any lines for me So why’s the light so bright? Preacher’s finger on my eye How come I’m still doing you wrong somehow? How come I’m still doing you wrong? All my thoughts, all my thoughts, all my thoughts go back to you All my thoughts, all my thoughts, all my thoughts go back to you

I Was A Rose 02:43
I’d like to believe that you can always turn around and it won’t be hard to find you standing still in the sunshine Like the medal like the jewel, by the upstairs window is still hanging where they left it, in the air such a long time But every day is changing me For you I was a rose, for you I was a rose I wore a costume and so did you, it’s alright that we liked the way it felt in that temporary light But I’m afraid, whatever happens now will turn my world around and you won’t recognize the one you knew For you I was a rose, for you I was a rose, for you I was a rose I was a rose I was a rose And time is on your side You’re in my mind cut to the tape Don’t try to make it over It’ll never be that way again cause I’m changing I’m changing

Lucky Nights 04:56
Like it rains in paradise enough for everything to grow I’m glad we have the time for now together even though Everything has hunger and no one’s ever satisfied Still I won’t forget the way it felt to have you on my side You give me lucky nights Lucky nights You make the gold come down Oh Like the midnight sky would be a long long time ago It feels like Saturn spins for me every time you say hello And if you think of me someday and wondering why you still do I think it still will be enough for me too You give me lucky nights Lucky nights You make the gold come down Oh You give me lucky nights Lucky nights You make the gold come down Oh

about

The unearthly folk of singer songwriter Mila Webb blends empyrean lap steel and gossamer melodies to draw the out of body experience of a deeply inner life. Her debut EP, Lucky Nights, arrives in 2022 via Perpetual Doom.

Webb describes herself as “a bit of a late bloomer,” with a wink. The sixth child of singer-songwriter Jimmy Webb (“Wichita Lineman”, “MacArthur Park”), and the younger of five older siblings collaborating under the moniker The Webb Brothers, Webb bristled at the notion of leaving her own permanent record. In an embrace of anonymous fulfillment, she landed residence in a 70-person co-op in Berkeley, CA - a backdrop of fleeting privacy that led her to seek singularity in song. This is the kind of cosmic joke that informs her music’s psychedelic idealism. A move back home to Los Angeles, and tentative steps out of hermeticism, produced the demos that became Lucky Nights. Best detailed by her aptly named “Masterpiece,” Webb teases her interchangeable preference to “Waste my time / Take my time,” marveling at the indiscriminate difference between living in a moment and letting it pass you by.

The titular song is a love letter to darkness- “like the midnight sky would be, a long long time ago” Webb sings, an ethereal ode to the accident of happiness, inking vividly the memory of a dream in the stark brushstrokes of the woefully awake.

Recorded and co-produced by Chris Cohen (of Chris Cohen, The Curtains, Deerhoof) at Tropico Beauty (Glendale, CA) and various home studios, Lucky Nights also features contributions from Greg Hartunian, Harrison Whitford (Phoebe Bridgers), Max Whipple (Tobias Jesso Jr., Midnight Sister), Jay Rudolph (Midnight Sister, Weyes Blood), and Will Canzoneri (Jessica Pratt, Vampire Weekend).
