Somehow Absolved
From everything I said,
so is there something more, yeah is there something more
I blacked out
All those conversations
talking to strangers
I'm talking to strangers
fall asleep forever
dreaming of the summer time
poisoning your heart
poisoning your mind
Embroiled in self disputes
The cold concrete
Approaching far too fast
What will you do
alight like you're landing
Or alight like you're burning
What are you burning with
why are you doing this
Open my eyes I and you are gone
So Afraid of change but you're always on your feet
A waxing objective
Self-conscious Prerogative
I never asked for this
Somehow Absolved
From everything I said, so is there something more, yeah is there something more
I blacked out
All those conversations
talking to strangers
I'm talking to strangers
fall asleep forever
dreaming of the summer time
poisoning your heart
poisoning your mind

Coming in way too steep
taking on too much speed
coming over your house
taking off your clothes now
like getting thrown backwards through places you know
like getting caught outside by the undertow
like recognizing the voice, but never knowing a name
telling you everything, you don’t listen anyway
You could take what you wanted from me
You could take what you wanted all along
we’ve got nothing in our heads
we’ve got to make amends
taking on water fast
can’t bail it all by hand
that which drives you forward
will capsize you
like getting thrown backwards through places you know
like getting caught outside by the undertow
like recognizing the voice, but never knowing a name
telling you everything, but you can’t tell what it says
You could take what you wanted from me
You better watch your back now baby
black trees
solemn swears
sink your teeth into me

Eyes
fixed on the horizon
Searching that distant line
As if It was her idea
take your time
maps on the floor
maps in your eyes
it’ll take you out
different tongues, different colors,
and the patterns they become
take me back to shore
everything’s different
take me back to shore
everything’s changed
Take me back she said
it’ll never happen again
never again
so get a ride home, or set out alone
find a stable solution or none at all
you’re so self indulgent, with no self control
so get a ride home

I cast off from the eastern shore,
Headed west across the plains
I was alone, it was romantic like the books I read back home
That sweeping open beauty making you feel so alone
And so it ends i’m leaving tonight
Street lamps and sidewalks
this city fading day by day
I said it, I said it and i’m not sure what’ll happen now
it’s out, it’s out, it’s out, it’s out
oh hold on hold on
come on, come over
my feet are stuck in the clear cold water
A loose grip on everything lost to complacency
I haven't learned to hold the ones I love as close as they hold me and it goes on
And so it ends i’m leaving tonight
Street lamps and sidewalks
this city fading day by day
I said it, I said it and i’m not sure what’ll happen now
it’s out, it’s out
hold on, hold on

Hymn
06:27

|
a red pen, a straight edge, light dappled on the sill
Making a black box, a contract, a key that fits no lock
a weapon made from a mind on a track,
we need numbers, don’t stray from the pack,
Your unsung heroes Breathing down your neck, their ancient aims substitute for yours
hey DemiGod, come down from your bed,
you are not blessed, you hold yourself in torment
so hey come down, hey come down
come down and tell the truth, help me tell the truth
Golden
But at what cost
Golden
And so we sing the hymn
so draw up your plans, sketch it out on a page
You could pen out friends n lovers and places
like a feeling, so fleeting,
it’ll fade like city lust,
Dreams and memories
In films and on tv
Projections, ideals of what we want to be
hey DemiGod, come down from your bed
you’re playing martyr
stuck in your own head
so hey come down, i come unannounced
Hey come down, hey
Golden
But at what cost
Golden
And so we sing the hymn
take me back to the place where i grew up
out on my own two feet
back to those teenage streets

there’s a winter lake in my heart
Still surface reflecting heaven's stars
moving silent and slow
Moving just to stay alive
you’re angel drowning like a moth to the flame, a teenage idol suffering for the fame, to stay cool
I can’t take responsibility
its all these memories, always haunting me,
Like something lurking up from the empty deep,
It’s all these memories, like submarines
she’s ancient at nineteen
tissues and stack of magazines
Faded issues stacked on your tv I know you’ve been watching me through that screen wishing my door was open, my window unlocked
But they're not
this time
i'll leave you waiting outside
I can’t take responsibility
It’s all these memories, always haunting me
Like something lurking up from the empty deep,
its all these memories, like submarines
we’re all so poorly defined
Unreachable truths, a flaw in your design, i guess Gödel was right
Suddenly my chest is tight with retrospective anxiety,
as I look you in the eye, and say that i'm fine
Yeah it's fine, I know it's not my time

Latin dance blur pass dismiss
If you’re there I’ll send a kiss
I'll careen by off of center
the tree of life traps keys of gender
Leaves dripping blood-stained dew
Stuck together, skin is glue
Orchids strung up at the treeline
Stamens sinking into wine
Latin dance kills pass the hit
Broke into a million bits
I grabbed the box, and at our urging
Lynch Hung his cleaver like a surgeon
Leaves dripping blood-stained dew
Stuck together, skin is glue
Orchids strung up at the treeline
Stamens sinking into wine

Speeding Away to Someday
by Fleeting Joys
supported by 6 fans who also own “Sungazing”
Wow! Y'all have outdone yourselves on this one. It is pure shoegaze noise bliss. Swirling like I did in my acid days to MBV. It's retro, it's modern, it's disconnect jagged edge.

The title track pulled me into Slow Crush's orbit, but Tremble held me there - alongside Lull from the Hush LP and the whole of Seasurfer's Dive In, it can send me into an altered state of consciousness. The album vibrates with hints and nudges, from Slowdive twangs to a Corgan-esque chord shift, but Slow Crush are their own sound - thick, dark melodic, etherealistic soundscapes with Isa Holliday's vocals both binding the music and rising above it. One of the best bands in years.

Introducing Blush Juliet
by Blush Juliet
This New Zealand group have a sweet glaze and an underlying toothiness that would have fit right in on mid-’90s alt-rock radio.

Bleak, throbbing work that lands halfway between coldwave and shoegaze, this Berlin group hits that spot just under the breastbone.

Excellent stuff, Spotlight Kid offer something darker and heavier in the often twee world of Dream-Pop or Shoegaze as we call it in the UK.
