Lyrics:
Why’s it so hard to see you?
I preach your love, but can’t see you
The world is small, green and blue
I drink your blood to see you
Where were you?
Where were you, when I needed you?
How could you?
I can’t live life prepared for death
Where were you
Where were you when I needed you?
“Hailing from the south-shore Long Island town of Massapequa, Gamblers have always been aware of the ever-looming influence of New York City, but they may as well be coming from another world. The band’s upcoming debut album Small World (out 9/25 via Symphonic) showcases the unique perspective one develops when viewing things as both an insider and an outsider. After cutting his teeth touring with DIY alt-rock bands in high school, bandleader/producer Michael McManus spent practically every waking minute that he wasn’t in class holed up in his Hunter College dorm room crafting the unique hip hop production style that paved the way for collaborations with Meek Mill and Heems, as well as musical contributions to Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown and Viceland’s Gaycation. With Gamblers, McManus marries the beatmaking sensibility of hip hop to the songcraft and jamming-in-a-room spirit of an indie rock band. Even in its brightest moments, Small World is replete with references to addiction, mental illness, corruption and violence, with cutting insights always lurking in the shadows between McManus’ seemingly innocuous wordplay. With one ear to the pulse of Long Island’s trash-strewn cultural landscape and the other focused on the human condition itself, McManus tucks his layers of meaning into lyrics that on first glance appear rather straightforward. The band’s sunny hooks may evoke The Beach Boys, but much darker things tend to wash up on the south shore, much as they do on the shores of our own conscience.”
