Depressive and lovely
The funeral band plays out
The crowd files in
A broken violin drowns them out
Was I speaking French?
Did you hear what I said?
Though I may get offended
don't hold back on my account
In the time i got close to somebody
I get bested by my own joke
If I'm not playing this rock and roll
I hope they notice
I've lost all control
Time to line up the shot
To configure a plot
A scheme, a hope, a dream
But Who am I to be pickin and a’choosin’
what kind of love I'm losin’ ?
So tell me how the hell you do it,
Every concept has a loose end
When did yours begin to find its own pace?
My Standard issue brand of run and hide
My nightmares all personified
And shifting into high gear oh no
It's lookin like they wanna race
They say
That if you're going through with it
You're gonna have to find a better avenue
Cuz there's only so much I can do
For you
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
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
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
