I want a fixture to love
I want a failure no one wants to speak of
I wanna write new songs when we touch
I wanna decay so no one gets a sense of us
The kind of romance that feels sharp
I prick my finger and watch my friendships fall apart
And now the room begins to get smart
I must confess I never got this far
I've detached from hopes and dreams that
Just for a minute might've meant something
I'm not gonna do shit today
Open my head, climb into the back
Now would you call yourself my friend?
You are the last one I let in
We could take up residence
Inside my private tenements
Dogs and children a happy home
getting lifted,feeling alone
If you take the latter
I do too
A sunken vessel
For hidden meanings
And I'll paraphrase
The only way that I know how to
The only way show you off and flaunt you
The only way that I could say i want you
Let's get illegible
Let's paint it vermilion
Such a brilliant pigment
One in a million
Chased my demons all the way home
I beseech you, let me alone
Now would you call yourself my friend?
You were the last one I let in
The stiffer the drink
The less I gotta sing from the heart
This is album is like nothing I've ever heard. I love how the dissonance turns into cohesion and then proceeds to flow between the two. The jazziness of it, the tenderness of it, the lightheartedness of the sound in places...it really astounds me. I wish I could listen to it for the first time again. coitosk
Can't select a favorite; heard a local college station play "Incandescent" a couple years back and took notice of how infectious it was... after hearing the whole album I'm hooked; what a great record from front to back. Lauren Elle Anderson
A churning indie-rock meditation on relationships and personal struggle from the New Jersey band, propelled by powerhouse vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 8, 2020
