With freckles as sparkling as yours
Who could dare to un-sparkle your dots
A face as unreasonably adorable as yours
Who could dare to thoughtlessly smudge your cheek
With black hair as infinite as yours
What could dare to bar your passage through the void
I have done almost nothing right
My entire adult life
But having dared to touch the fire with you
breaks the chains
Of my being nothing (too)
Indiscretions as starling as yours
Who could dare to define them as wrong or right
With invention as amusing as yours
Who could dare to remain uninvolved
With secrecy as bewildering as yours
What could insist on penetrating

what will you do if and when
I am someone else
They are a freak cool
Impermanent candy
Common Loon inopportune
But don’t you worry about it now
Red Balloon over used
(So) don’t you worry about it now
A beautiful b.o.i.
Vaseline to be polite
It's time to creep out
Get Low Low dandy

Oh I looked upon
Dreams mocked to death
Slats and husks and frozen frame
Sinking into the dust
Oh I was repulsed
And I acted thus
Mocked by liminal space
Pressed down into the dust
Given all this
why can I go back
how can I stay still
when caught in these acts
The area, the mass and shape
air above the massive space
Oh what’s to be come of this now
Unto floating eyes
Flash in deep release
Calendulas loomed
Before they were consumed
All turns for the worse
Unreal but not untrue
Seized by the mass and shape
is it all it is

Favourite of all time contender. Just bought the Deluxe 4LP. Cozy, emotionally hard-hitting, once-in-a-lifetime.

I don't usually listen to hardcore shit, but when I do it's pessimist anticapitalist shit fueled by prudish christian hypocrisy and a sardonic sense of humor. Let's go out to the refinery and soak up man's arrogance.

wanted to check out the offline version, it didn't disappoint at all.

Portland shoegaze that plays, as the best representatives of the genre do, with huge, hollow atmosphere against intimate observations.

Noisy, unsettling experimental pop in turns touching and political. From now until 3/5, 50% of proceeds go to Planned Parenthood/ACLU.

Tenured punk Dan Sartain ditches the guitars in favor of midnight-blue synths and robotic rhythms on this album of minimalist synthpop.

•AOTY 2022• This album is a masterclass on how to stir up chaos without getting lost in the madness. Every nook and cranny of this album is slathered with intricacy. There are many claustrophobic moments throughout this album, but clarity is not lost in the process. From front to back, this album does not let up in the slightest.
