with the bright lights coming down
from across the island sound
i could almost feel a distant glow
but the air hangs heavy now
like a dark unmoving cloud
covering over everything that i see
and the lives we know
are isolated roads
leading nowhere
as the darkness grows
i could remember when
i wished the days would never end
and california didn’t seem so far
but now all i ever do
is pass the time in solitude
waiting for anything to come my way
and the lives we know
are isolated roads
leading nowhere
as the darkness grows
and the days we’d spend
in the company of friends
are blurring memories
from a portrait’s view
in the passing still
of the late november night
i thought of how this season
used to make me feel so alive
and i thought of being home again
after four years on my own
but it wasn’t enough to mitigate
the feeling of being alone
Emotional and ethereal, each track of stands well on its own while also forming a strong and cohesive album that's an amazing expeience listening to. I've felt at ease, happy, and sad listening to this incredible album, and I've fallen in love with. I've no definitive favorite, but I'll set mine to be the track that makes me most happy. njs
This Chicago (where else?) post-rock group builds wafting atmospheric ambient out of slow drums and a shimmering churn of droning guitars. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 30, 2024
Utter perfection. Reminds me of Sigur Ros's "Valtari." One of my top 3 albums of all time. 11/10. Literally able to make a grown man cry. Easily one of the most beautiful albums ever made, and one that makes me miss every girl I never knew. Nathan Guerrette dit Latulippe
