VULFPECK /// Lonely Town (feat. Theo Katzman) 

You convinced me. Population: 2.

Joe dart on that upright bass,

This just made my day!

Vulfpeck should do a "Only Towns" tour. Setlist is only Dean, Hero and Lonely Town. No cities on the tour schedule. ONLY TOWNS.

"I forgot to bring a mic stand, can I use your bass stand?" "Naw dude I forgot my strap so I'm gonna need it"

Wow that Theo Katzman guy looks just like the drummer/guitarist/singer from Vulfpeck!

I was hoping they’d feature Theo in the video, shame it’s just his guitar.

I love when Theo sings on Vulf tracks.

If you look carefully there is a guy laying on the striped couch under the guitar.

Joe playing his Bass upright is probably one of the funniest things I've seen in a while

Sofa, so good.

Theo is pretty laid back.

These new upright basses seem very practical and portable.

The stripe zoom at the end there is truly awful, great work

Getting a real good Beatles vibe from this one

Ok fine it's great!! :)

01:23 everyone just HITS that little riff?! come on. too good.

Brings a whole new meaning to “low volume”

now departing from *< dean town >* next stop *> lonely town

Most of you probably already know this, but that’s the way John Lennon recorded the vocals for Revolution 1: lying on his back with a mic pointing down at him.

2:28 that piano+bass lick made me smile so big :)

The take at the end is the most wild male vocal work I've seen

Best new Paul McCartney single he didn't release ;-(

that pose strikes fear into his enemies

I AM IN HELL STUDYING FOR MIDTERMS, ALMOST GAVE UP RN, AND THEN THIS COMES AND SOOTS MY SOUL I DIDNT WANNA WRITE IN CAPS BUT I ONLY NOTICED NOW AND I DONT CARE THANK YOU BOIS FOR SAVING MY DAY

so much compression on the bass - I love it! Gimme more!!!

he’s the mayor of lonely town, population: 1 (population: 1) starin’ a hole in the ground, starin’ at the sun (oh-h-h, wo-a-ah) and i’m starting to feel like he might be real, like he’s something i might become runnin’ for mayor of lonely town, population: 1 see the mayor of lonely town, standing in the square at the county fair shoutin’ his message out, but there’s no one there (oh-h-h, no-o-o) and the silence surrounds, but he’s lost in the sound of the army of fifes and drums marchin’ for mayor of lonely town, population: 1 (SADABADABLABLABLABLABLUB) if you want to go to lonely town, just pay the fare (dabada, dabada, dabada) unless you’re with me, then you’ll get in for free, ‘cuz, baby, i know the mayor (dabada!) no one seems to want to be near him, they all run away-ay, but deep inside their soul you can hear him, callin’ out your name oh, the mayor of lonely town, tuckin’ into bed, (oh-ohh) what’s inside his head? visions of sugarplums, and loneliness (oh-h-h, ye-e-s) Oh, we’ve all got to be what we want to be but that doesn’t seem quite so fu-u-u-u-u-n (da-boh-dub) to be the mayor of lonely town, population: staring a hole in the ground, population: mayor of lonely town, population: 1 (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahhhh)

This song is so satisfying, The perfect melody, perfect chord changes, perfect blues/jazzie notes (thanks the piano !) Perfect bridge Perfect lyrics You make my days better

We need to make a group call "Woody's sparrows" or something like that. This guy deserves more attention from every fan, old or new. Is the soul of the band

Almost a bit Unknown Mortal Orchestra breathy sound in his voice at times. Me gusta. First listen is like Unknown Immortal Beatles.

Fun having that "Billy Preston /// Nothing From Nothing" intro there! I just discovered that track last week, freaky hearing it pop up here too.

I'm already enjoying the music

Where is Lonely Town in relation to Dean Town

"Yo Dart, you can play bass, but can you play the uPrIgHt bass?" Dart: *star power*

Come for the Dart, stay for the Katzman. And the I Will at the end, damn.

I'm getting serious Beatles vibes off this. Its like a mix of Martha My Dear, Rocky Raccoon, and something else I can't put my finger on.

It's like they just found out about the Beatles and heard them for the first time. Excellent production skills.

I don't see anything on that couch but a floating guitar. 🤷‍♂️

2020 ..paul mccartney vibe...Heart of the Country!

I've listened to this song like a dozen times in a few days and it doesn't get old.

This is one step away from Lazy Town. Please cover "we are number one"

Anyone else get a late-Beatles vibe from this?

This music is making me love myself

Could be a lost track of the "White Album"...

Joe Dart on the upright bass!!!

HE MATCHES THE COUCH!!! this song has serious beatles sound, nery nice.

I live for this song’s bridge

Main this is sooooo Beatles. I love it.

the clip at the end really shows how genuinely you guys enjoy making music

Looks like I know what I'm having for lunch tomorrow.... A whole big heaping helping of funk

I can hear the Beatles here. It's like listening to when i'm 64, sweet honey pie, Maxwell's silver hammer, your mother should know mixed up together with renewed joy and adorable 'silly excitement'.

No joke - I have that exact same couch. I'm sitting on it now. It's a Bauhaus. I love this music. I only wish I had that shirt to match.

God the vocal take at the end blows me away every time. Theo is a God

Still jamming out to this at least once a week since this was released 🌝🎧 Theo got that scat man blues

OOOOOh that little shot of Jack really sums up an army of fifes and drums.

This makes me smile slightly and I feel ok

Lyrics: He's the mayor of Lonely Town, population, one Population, one Stare in a hole in the ground, staring at the sun (oh, woh) And I'm starting to feel like he might be real Like he's something I might become Running for mayor of Lonely Town, population, one See the mayor of Lonely Town standing in the square At the county fair Shouting his message out, but there's no one there (oh, there) And the silence surrounds but he's lost in the sound Of their army of fifes and drums Marching for mayor of Lonely Town, population, one (Sha, bada, bada, bada, bada) If you want to go to Lonely Town Just pay the fare (babada, dabada, dabada) Unless you're with me, then you'll get in for free, 'cause, baby I know the mayor (dadadoh) No one seems to want to be near, they all run away But deep inside, a song you can hear, calling out your name Well the mayor of Lonely Town, tucking into bed (oh) What's inside his head Visions of sugarplums and loneliness (oh, yes) Now we've all got to be what we want to be But that doesn't seem quite so fun To be the mayor of Lonely Town, population Stare in a hole in the ground, population Mayor of Lonely Town, population, one (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

It reminds me of Harry Nilsson!!! Beautiful!!!

It’s giving Harry Nillson. Legendary. So glad to be alive at the same time as Vulfpeck

Strings on frets on stripes on stripes. I’m lovin’ it.

These guys are like the Beatles of funk.

Are you kidding me? This song is golden!

Piano lines are the most beauty!

Theo's t-shirt/sofa upholstering match is no accident.

I haven't even listened to it yet but it's already my favorite song.

This has really made me couch my blessings

ok. so, im addicted to this song, its my all time fave from vulf so far.

Their best song

That's some serious overdubbing. I can barely hear it in the mix, but it's there. Glad you guys usually leave a nice lil treat for us at the end of your vids

this is some of the catchiest shit I’ve ever heard

Producer: Can you play this one on an upright? Bass guy: Sure

Heartbreak Hits vibes. I like it !

This is the first song i've ever heard of vulfpeck :,) Second was "Love is a beautiful thing"

Even Joe Dart knows the superior quality of SX basses!

one of the worlds greatest pop songs

Theo is my spirit animal.

This is a great song.

1:33 is Theos EXTRA high pitch backing vox in the background from the end of the video... I think. Im pretty sure at least my dog heard it.

would really enjoy seeing some more "behind the scenes" in the making of vulf records..that clip of theo at the end is pure awesomeness

Please come to South America!!! You guys have a huge fan base here. I’m from Uruguay but you should come and play in Argentina and Brasil too. We are in love whit your music and it will be and dream come true to see your set!!! Please!!!!! Come to South America!!!!!

Help I've been listening to this on repeat for 8 hours how do I escape?

it's awesome how you guys always nail it. love that upright bass

this is honestly pretty funky but its chill and makes me feel good about being sad

It's so Beatles but also it's so Vulfpeck. Love it.

If Lonely Town was in Mexico, the name of the mayor would be Juan. Population: Juan

Vulfpeck (feat. Jack Stratton, Joe Dart, Woody Goss & Theo Katzman)

Just visiting lonely town for Valentine's again, dont mind me.

That moment where you (privately) try to mimic his voice in the end clip...and are humbled

Vulfpeck I need you in Argentina right now. If any of you comes you have free barbecues at least.

The release of this single coincides with the 50th anniversary of the White Album. Coincidence? I think not. Keep it up Vulf squad!

This song gets better every time.

This is so insane and original oh my god

AND I CHOSE...to have the vocal ability of Theo Katzman **coughhghgh**

Who else is hyped for joe dart on the upright bass?

This is golden. Almost cried.

this just might be my favourite song ever

I NEED THINS ON SPOTIFY RIGHT NOW

This premiere idea is so ridiculous: RU-vid has just given us videos we cannot yet see. Thank you!

Easy listing Acoustic funk at it's BEST!!

I'm instantly hooked.
