I’d be the first to put my hands up that there’s one too many things that I want, and if that burns bridges to you then I’ll have to find another route. I hope you understand that I need your trust as much as you need the truth. I have known from a very young age that the best and worst of us end up the same. I never told myself fairy tales even if I’ve led myself astray before. I’m well aware of the snakes in the grass and I am well aware of the knives pointed at my back. It’s out of love I tried to keep you safe and explain that these futures, these thoughts, are your past mistakes. I was a wreck but I covered it up; you were caught between moments and that wasn’t enough. As a result our characters are amalgamations of collections and incomplete parts. I tried to marry the truth with your hopes, to keep your burdens halved with every dawn approached. I know I wasn’t ever close to perfect, but I never let you go. Lover, your heart is not my home. It’s just a habitat and habitats are known to become inhospitable.
This split EP from two France-based musicians is a gem, both artists recalling the glory days of slowcore in their heart-tugging melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 11, 2023
Jack Goldstein's deeply personal exploration of love and grief is expressed here through a blend of emo and hyperpop. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 12, 2022
Bouncy, jangly power pop with a slash of acidic shadow, as the very best twee always has. From Boston, they met at band camp (not Bandcamp). Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 2, 2019
