The first time I felt my breath
I also felt their hands around my neck
The first thing that I could see
When I opened my eyes
They were stifling me
The first time I took a step
They redirected the direction I went
The first taste I had of free
In the blink of an eye
It was taken from me
Into the sun from the shade
We cannot stay in a dark age
Eyes open to survey
The universe we can create
The last time I held my tongue
I could see I was not the only one
We all felt the weight in our hands
Put them back in our mouths
So we could voice our demands
The first time I took the stage
The world around me fundamentally changed
If they don’t like it they can leave
And I know now they cannot take it from me
Got this record as a birthday gift from a bandmate and it coincided with the loss of my grandmother and a painful trip east to see to final arrangements. It provided both company and consolation during that difficult journey and thematically, is spot-on for this season of life. Can’t say enough good things about these guys. Creep Church
It's a glorious swirl of Fleet Foxes, and Smile era Beach Boys.
It gently consumes you like a river's current as you float atop—getting that unexpected sunburn in September barnudiolikesyourband
Synths abound on the new single from Hearts and Rockets—icy cold, sharp, and minimal, and topped with a punk rock sneer. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 22, 2020
This record is fucking phenomenal. Period. From beginning to end, it's so lush in its attack. The build up to the final track will give you goosebumps, as well as make you tear up, raise your fist in the air, or all three at once. Don't pass this up. Jared Singleton
