What a sweet song. Never heard an artist name drop MC escher before but i love it. Look up waterfall by MC escher, what a great painter he was. These guys are brilliant.
I met Ashley, once at a wedding. He kept his originality, wearing unconventional shorter pants, nicely displaying his socks and runners. He is sweet, rather quiet and carries a smile whose lips you'd want to bite! Great song!
@MzWhite although 15/16ths would be an off beat (an awkward one), that's not what he's talking about.
the imperial measurement of 2 and 15 16ths of an inch is the only literal metaphor in a song of fantastical simile. as in, she's sitting right next to him - just to the northeast.
I really like this song, but it has been awhile since I've done anything with music (21yrs). In the title 2 and 15/16ths I know that 2 is the march beat and the 15/16ths is the off beat. Is that what we hear 2:00 min into the song.

Maybe if your cousin was that chick we would care...haha
USS is awesome. Part of me wants them not to get big so they stay local, but they deserve all the respect for putting together some new original music that everyone can enjoy.
lol what do u mean you dont get them? there lyrics man, theres no rules that say they need to tell a story or even make sense. there cool and you really dont gota think much further then that, right?
but i want to! thats the fun of listening to songs with trippy lyrics:P they had to be thinking of SOMETHING when they were writing the lyrics...and even if someone can just interpret them in a cool way that makes sense...that works too:P
wait now i remember, and i remember doing the same thing when i saw them at the toronto freedom festival like a year or two ago. i was all like 'who are these guys' and then they started playing their single and im like oh snap i know these guys.
@rikulover911 I agree these guys are OK, but to call them oriiginal when the use sampled music . and i mean come on.. the guy sounds like a gay Beck...
Umm... Actually USS released their first album in early 2007.. Obviously you have just heard about them recently. Hollowpoint Sniper Hyperbole was on that first album and so, it has been a few years from when they first started. They definately did NOT just release their first cd in the past summer though...
@adamcolvin cuz once a band goes mainstream, they start makin the music just for money and writing songs out of their pockets, or even someone else writing their songs, and it sounds like crap, this is a small alternative band out my home town, and if they become mainstream, ill be pissed
@teragreg Yeah I guess so, but I know many bands who have gone mainstream and have been there for a while and haven't changed anything. But then again I know bands that have gone what you just mentioned.
woooooww damn guys that girl is smoking;) nice work! hopefully ima make it out to the sound acadamy i still have not witnessed the complete madness:( i do however have some merch:D
