lyrics

As we sink I took some time to turn it over alone in my head
because queen anne's lace has never grown
so north of this place, but by some twist of fate
and magpie's white magician gloves are
casting our lot with every wingbeat

if you forget, they said you can play again
give it your best, but I'm bound to forget again

so if that's true then all that I knew
was just a small speck that floats in the blue sea
whose tidal pull is wearing the hull
of continent's edge on down to the bone
and every thread that we've ever sewn
will strain over time and, in any case, is bound to unwind

if you forget, they said, you can play again
give if your best, but I'm bound to forget again

you asked for this, you're bought and sold
on a visionless mould of a house burning down
as you take out the loan

are we just tragically cursed to repeat the same eternal verse
where wherever we stab, the universe feints
just mocking the play?

and if you forget, you can play again
give it your best, but I'm bound to forget again
and again and again

Untangle The Roots
by Julien Mier

Diversely-sourced sounds and driving beats. I really admire the balance Mier is able to find in these tracks. Names for Sounds

A Journey to the Purple Planet
by A Cosmic Gift

Fantastic sounds - I can't get them out of my head. Beautifully cut-up with a slow groove and Grace's airy vocals. Those string swells. Names for Sounds

Blooming
by Feather Beds

Blooming influenced me the instant I heard it. Imagine if Animal Collective wrote songs and Sufjan Stevens sang them. Playful, kind and so much to find for yourself in these tracks. Names for Sounds

❤️ The music, the lyrics, the album art-everything about this release is eerie and lovely. It goes right for the shadow nature inherent in all of us, resulting in music which is uncomfortably close even as it plunges into pitch black. Plushie Fanatic
