Geologist has shared the second single, “Government Job”, off his upcoming debut album “Can I Get A Pack Of Camel Lights?” out January 30th via Drag City.

Brian Ross Weitz (Geologist, member of Animal Collective) said this about the song: “20 years ago, I left a government job to do Animal Collective full time. That might sound like a no-brainer trade, but there are days I don’t know about that. I liked the job, and think there is honor in many government jobs, especially living in DC now, as I watch so many crucial ones being eliminated with little reason beyond cruelty and greed. I got to be part of many beautiful things in music, but if I still had the job I’d ideally be part of a solid foundation that lets others experience and do beautiful things themselves. So for the song “Government Job,” I stripped away all the hurdy gurdy parts from my live set and gave the electronic foundation to Adam McDaniel, Emma Garau and Merrick to express themselves on top.”
