I fold, I'm not even making sense
Why roll over in my defense
When my goals can be reached without you?
Oh yeah
My spine, twists with the dissonance
As my role in everything starts to shift
but I'm fine, I promise I'm still about you
Oh yeah
Ariel which whatever way
Anything not to watch it break
“I'm afraid you've gotta
You gotta hold that weight
Even times you just don't wanna!
Even when you’ve got nothing to hide…”
In time, the sentiments ive repressed
To love you no matter how hard it gets,
Will break loose with a 'what are you getting up to?’”
Ariel, I'm running ragged chasing baggage
And I'm feeling down, Ill admit it
But don't you make a sound
I'm coming up
Itll take months to prove that I want to
Give you my all
I hope they can hear me
I want em to fear me
If nothing at all
And O’ the enmity
The hostile push and shove
Combined with the baggage,
thats what makes us “Us”
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
