about

“Psychopath” is the latest single from independent Sydney artist NOT A BOYS NAME (Dave Jenkins Jr). Born out of an unlikely collaboration with Tasker (Okenyo, Dante Knows, Pleasure Coma).
“Psychopath” is about gaslighting, manipulation, and the awful feeling that you are being taken advantage of.
It was inspired by a maniacal acquaintance that Jenkins Jr had been working closely with that almost lead to him to give up music for good.
“I wanted to quit music, I thought I was going insane”.
“It was not until I got some perspective and spent time away with my friends that I was able to realise that I was being manipulated”.
Laced with psychotic fuzz guitars, frantic drum fills and a heavy bass line, the music itself evokes memories of Talking Heads, Early MGMT, and the eccentric forgotten 80’s music you hear in underground clubs in the early hours of the morning.
“Psychopath” marks a shift in NOT A BOYS NAME production and musical evolution. A clear step into the future of twisted indie/pop music that will have you moving no matter what.

lyrics

Look into the mirror
Can you tell me what you see?
Do you like your face or is there someone that you’d rather be?
I wanna help you relax but you just wanna get rid of me
You always call me just to hang up
And when I fall for it I get stuck
Cause you offend and pretend like I’m the one who’s lost my mind
But that’s you

One word
It’s on the tip of my tongue
And it’s coming to me right now
There’s a name for you

Psychopath
you’re just so psychopathic
When we talk it is so damn erratic
When we kiss oh it’s so unromantic
Psychopath
Oh so psychopathic

In your eyes nothing but charm
Calculated and perfected to catch me off my guard
Undermine and surprise me at every turn
Form a spark, make it work just to watch me burn
Psychopath
you’re just so psychopathic
When we talk it is so damn erratic
When we kiss oh it’s so unromantic
Psychopath
Oh so psychopathic
Undermine and surprise me at every turn
Undermine and surprise me at every turn
One word
It’s on the tip of my tongue
And it’s comin to me right now
There’s a perfect name for you
Psychopath you’re just so psychopathic
When we talk it is so damn erratic
When we kiss oh it’s so unromantic
Psychopath
Oh so psychopathic
