it’s not riverside
but you more than make up for that
it’s not “am i alright?”
it’s all in the cause of it
did you lure me in
with what your hands can’t allow
four moccasins
something saccharine
it’s a fable for now
autumn arrives
with a drill, a tap, a trazodone
another counting down
pencil creases beside the thumb
have you learned how to live
like you’ve nothing to hide
have you learned how to die
how you wanted to
with no mess left behind
back through your eyes to days of trash and glitter
back when your mind was top of the litter
when sweetness was never in short supply
with sun at the fringe of a winter sky
and a snowfall could lift you up out of your everyday
it’s not the same kind of light that you recall that was streaming down the hall in your youth
step out of memory out into a blizzard now, are your winters getting colder year by year
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
