this is the point where no one hears you
the signal’s lost, the comms are dead
this is the point where no one can reach you
save the ties to other lives you would efface
when you cut the cord i watched you
spiral out into the void and your face
bore the valleys of some heavy burden i could never see
and the lines across your back i couldn’t trace
i know you’ve gone and dug your grave
but i made the time to see you ‘fore you leave
all your flowers never reached the sun
i was standing in the rubble watching all the buds get plucked out of their place
this is the point where no one believes you
from your fiat of despondency proclaimed
all of language insufficient, and all of movement heresy
and the world kept on turning just the same
i heard you say “i am from nothing and i am nothing
and when nothing’s really all there ever was
will this shared hallucination we call living
mourn the loss of one more hollow-hearted fool?” well i hope it does
i know you’ve gone and dug your grave
but i made the time to see you ‘fore you leave
i still offer you the hand of a companion
i will stay inside the walls that you have set up as your penitentiary cage
and the days have changed but i’m still here the same
and the light may fade but i’m still here the same
till the day i die i’m still here
one of the most mind-blowingly inventive pop records i've ever heard. sweet melodies with dark, evil twists wrapped in hazy, dense layers of production. sweet sugar candy that rots all your teeth lilac roadkill
the perfect combination of weird grooves, perfectly-constructed melodies, and off-kilter guitar and synth. warning: they are broken up now lilac roadkill
On their latest LP, the Austin group peel away the synth and distortion to highlight the jangly melodies at the core of their songs. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 9, 2022
