Santa Monica, California based indie pop duo Only Bricks are spreading their sun-soaked anthems with a debut EP entitled Foundation, released April 20. Comprised of husband and wife songwriting duo Anne DiGiovanni and Joseph Lewczak, the EP is their entry into the LA songwriting scene.
Foundation is an eclectic and unique collection of rock, pop, and dance, mixed with their own individual and uplifting musical sensibility. Loaded with songs that will inspire joy with bright, multi-faceted melodies, poppy hooks, and lyrics that tell relatable stories of love, desire, and connection, Only Bricks’ Foundation is destined to be the soundtrack to your summer romance.
Since their crowd-electrifying live debut in April at The Peppermint Club in Los Angeles, the new EP is already getting heaped with praise. The blog Musicotfuture, says it "will have you dancing all night." The blog Thinking Lyrically remarked about the songs’ "huge, infectious choruses that are perfect for summer!" Indie Voice Blog hailed "[t]he sweet vocals of Anne DiGiovanni, combined with the musical genius of her husband, Joseph Lewczak, create music that is a sheer joy to behold, and makes you want to get up and boogie." LA Music Critic Bob Leggett went so far as to exclaim, "[t]he new reigning King and Queen of Indie Pop music. Their new release, Foundation, is one of the best of 2018." Vents Magazine called it the "perfect California indie pop record." Substream Magazine exclaimed the lead single, "Twisted," is "full and rich while still moving and dancing with pop sensibility." Atwood Magazine raved that the EP’s second single, "(Your Love Gets Me) High," is a "fuzzy, feel-good and infectiously upbeat single."
Attention and critical acclaim are not entirely new to the members of Only Bricks. Vocalist Anne DiGiovanni was raised a classical, musical theater, and church musician (piano, violin), while instrumentalist Joseph Lewczak started playing guitar at the age of six. They first combined forces when Joseph’s cover band Generator Honey, a two-time (2013-14) New York Advertising Week Battle of the Ad Bands champion, added Anne’s powerful vocals to match Joseph’s exuberant lead guitar. Each have made their distinctive mark on separate projects: Anne as a veteran of the ASCAP New York Musical Theatre Festival’s Songwriting Workshop and The Bitter End-hosted New York Singer/Songwriter Sessions, and Joseph as one half of the duo Edison & Belle whose seven-song EP, Love Beyond, was hailed by Examiner.com as an "infectious debut" with a "modern, eclectic mix of styles and tone colors." The duo were also recently recognized with a Top 5 Song (Rock Category) in the 2017 Great American Song Contest for their co-write, "Over My Head."

Chorus:
Yes I’m alright
When I’m by your side
Don’t need no drugs to feel good
Your love gets me high
I don’t even feel the buzz when I light up a cigarette
Don’t pass around that weed, cause that shit’s barely legal yet
I just wanna feel the heat when you touch me like you do
Give me that dopamine that I get when I’m standing next to you
Chemicals are taking over taking over taking over
Awwwwww
Chorus (x2)
Friends won’t even talk to me, cause I’m obsessed with one more hit
Want me in rehab but, they just don’t get the thrill of it
And Methadone, it ain’t no good, I’m jonesing for your rocket fuel
Chemicals are taking over taking over taking over
Awwwwww
Chorus (x2)
Doo doo doo doo doo, doo di doo di doo
Chemicals are taking over taking over taking over
Awwwwww
Chorus x2
I understand, life doesn't last
You've had a difficult time
Stuck in a past you can't get past
Living inside of your dysfunctional mind
Open, open your heart and let go
Whatcha waiting for?
Be here, be here and dance, whoa
And don't hold back anymore
Chorus:
Get on the floor
Make your heartbeat loud
Get on the floor
You can feel the sound
Get on the floor
You just lose control
Get on the floor
Let it fill your soul
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get on the
Get up, get up, get up, get up
Get on the floor
You're feeling like you're faking it
But there is nowhere to hide
You've got this chance, you're taking it
Gonna get high on this emotional ride
Open, open your heart and let go
Whatcha waiting for?
Be here, be here and dance, whoa
And don't hold back anymore
Get on the floor
Make your heartbeat loud
Get on the floor
You can feel the sound
Get on the floor
You just lose control
Get on the floor
Let it fill your soul
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get on the
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get on the
Get up, get up, get up, get up
Get on the floor
Make your heart beat
You can feel it
You just lose it
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get on the
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get on the
Get up, get up, get up, get up
Get on the floor
Make your heartbeat loud
Get on the floor
You can feel the sound
Get on the floor
You just lose control
Get on the floor
Let it fill your soul
(repeat)
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get on the
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get on the
Get up, get up, get up, get up
Get on the floor
Woke up to find the sun, shining on our love
I’m reaching for you, you’re pushing me to
Some other place in time, just wanna stop, rewind
Get under my sheets, put you on re-peat
I'm tongue tied and I can't breathe
I’m starstruck, and I can’t believe, that I’m
Chorus:
Helpless, helpless, helpless there’s nothing I can do
Helpless, helpless, helplessly falling into you
Lips touch and we forget to ever leave this bed
I’m wrapped around you, you’re bringing me to
The edge of ecstasy, I’m tripping I can’t speak
My body’s twisted, I’m so addicted
I’m strung out and I can’t sleep
I’m re-born and now I believe
Chorus (x2)
OH, OH, OH, OH, OH (x2)
Baby you get me, you get me, and you got me (x4)
You got me
Chorus
At a penthouse party
And everybody that we know
Making speeches and toasts
Cause I’m leaving, I’m leaving tomorrow
Saying goodbye, hello
Is not how it’s supposed to go
Think you’re back in my life
But it isn’t, it isn’t a yo-yo
Haven’t talked to you in months but I’m far from sober
One Republic song comes on as I call you over
Chorus:
Hello goodbye We keep saying
Hello goodbye I don’t even
I don’t know why You put me through
Hello goodbye
Falling back together
As if you never broke my heart
But I see how this ends
And we’re playing, we’re playing the same parts
Head is spinning, I’m on
The elevator lobby floor
You got me super confused
Now I’m blacking, I’m blacking out hard core
There’s your hand to pull me up, get me back on my feet
In a cab you take me home, then we turn down your street
Chorus
Every time, every time, every time you fucked me over
I swore it would be the last time
Now you’re fucking me, you’re fucking me, you’re fucking me over and over,
Can’t let go, now I know, I know my line
Chorus (x2)
This love used to be a palace now it’s a prison
Locked down in the dungeon of the kingdom I’m missing
Now get getting your attention is a constant battle
Your smile your smile is like the sunshine in Seattle
Where did it go?
Where did it go?
I don’t know
Chorus:
I don’t want to be just an afterthought
Not a keychain for the car you bought
Only take me out in the parking lot
I don’t want to be, I don’t want to be just an after, just an afterthought
This love, used to be a Tesla now it’s a Taurus
Stalled out, in the traffic on the freeway before us
Now leave, leaving might be selfish of me but I don’t think so
Cause your heart, your heart is like July in San Francisco
Why is it cold?
Why is it cold?
Why is it cold?
I don’t know
Chorus 2:
I don’t want to be just an afterthought
When you blast off like an astronaut
Cause I don’t want all the space you want
I don’t want to be, I don’t want to be just an after, just an afterthought
I don’t want to be a snowglobe in your palm
Taken off the shelf to shake up when you want
I don’t want to be a worn-out party dress
Hanging in the back of the closet, just another thing you
oh - oh - oh - oh - oh - own, a thing you
oh - oh - oh - oh - oh - own, a thing you
oh - oh- oh - oh - oh own and I know
I don’t want to be just an afterthought
Not a keychain for the car you bought
Only take me out in the parking lot
I don’t want to be, I don’t want to be just an after, just an after --
I don’t want to be just an afterthought
When you blast off like an astronaut
Cause I don’t want all the space you want
I don’t want to be, I don’t want to be just an after, just an afterthought
2 am, driving home
On the 10, you’re all alone
Turn the key, the ghosts come out
Try to sleep, you’re counting doubts
Did you get what you wanted?
Did you get what you need?
Chorus:
In California
California
California
California
The rain was always falling on me
April, May, craving sun
On a date, you’re moving on
Close the door, and get undressed
Try for more, you want it less
Did you get what you wanted?
Did you get what you need?
When the traffic on the 405 is bad enough to
make you want to take the uptown B
Then you realize the same old shit you’re carrying will
only come along with you back east
Give me half, half a line
Just when you can spare the time
Push me out, pull me in
And I always let you win
Try to break free from your psycho games but I can’t leave
Chorus:
You got that twisted kind of love
You got that twisted kind of love
You got me so sick, it’s toxic, I can’t get enough
You got that twisted kind of love
So I wait, wait for you
Doing what you tell me to
Get me high, bring me down
I just hope you’ll come around
On the sidelines of your psycho game but I can’t play
Chorus:
You got that twisted kind of love
You got that twisted kind of love
You got me so sick, it’s toxic, I can’t get enough
You got that twisted kind of love
Quit playing games, quit playing games, with me baby
Quit playing games, quit playing games, I can’t take it
Chorus:
You got that twisted kind of love
You got that twisted kind of love
You got me so sick, it’s toxic, I can’t get enough
You got that twisted kind of love
