lyrics

pack a forty for the east river
to that spot where the cops can't fit their cars
all the punks are acting up again
metal studs to the chain-linked fence saying

I am not what I want to be

pack a toothbrush and a change of clothes
you're getting out, that's all I know
you remember saying that to me
LCD lights up the screen saying

you are not what I want you to be

pack a forty for the long way back
to the station that I'll never come back to
for the island that I used to love
for the ones that you're thinking of

I am not what I want to be

As If To Say I Hate Daylight
by Bellows

Some of the most beautiful lyrical imagery of the feeling of being exposed, interwoven with glowing intimate instrumentation. Bellows is a choir in a yelp and an orchestra on a pinpoint. "me like." Told Slant

The Offer
by YOWLER

Sounds like being totally destroyed by something. Haunting and healing and heavy and sunken. Currently making me cry. Told Slant

Higher and Higher Forever
by Zero Percent APR

Lo-fi indie that recalls the glory days of Shrimper and Shimmy Disc, where rock-solid melodies sit inside rickety instrumentation. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 5, 2022

Nyxy Nyx - Thee 3rd Album
by Nyxy Nyx

The terrific new record from Nyxy Nyx recalls the best of the early ’90s—slow-moving, shoegaze-adjacent songs with woozy melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 11, 2022
