about

If your work is stacking up, go ahead and sit on top

Over the course of five records, critics have defined Hollow Bodies as “project management rock.” Many fans assume the label is a joke, but the band is deadly serious about best practices for shared timelines. “The Beatles would still be together if they’d had doodle polls!” says Balasubrahmanyan.

The lead singer infamously makes the rest of the band fill out timesheets to report on their activities. I watch as Balasubrahmanyan reviews Dewar’s entries from the previous week. “Ok 1 hour recording scratch guitar, fifteen minutes emailing with the studio…” He changes the code on a time entry for “noodling” from song writing to business development.

“The four most important skills any band needs to be great are scheduling, transparent budgeting, and clear roles and responsibilities,” says Balasubrahmanyan.

“what’s the fourth?”

“uh, like art. Or whatever.”

Battery Park Wallflower Lyrics

B E
My letter box, it’s getting full

C#m B F#
Gonna find a little time for youuuuu

B E
Dishes can wait awhile, feeling the pull

C#m B F#
Gonna find a little time for youuuuu

Pre-chorus

E B F# B
If your work is stacking up, go ahead and sit on top


C#m B F#
Gonna find a little time for you

Chorus

E B F# B
If you ever had a world, go ahead and let it twirl

G#m E F# B
Gonna find a little bit of time for youuuuu


Verse 2
Let in a little sun, on my front porch
Gonna find a little time for you

Letting the faucet run, laundry ignored
Gonna find a little time for you

If your work is pilling up, go ahead and sit on top
Gonna find a little time for you
If you ever had a world, go ahead and let it twirl
Gonna find a little bit of time for youuuuuuu
