lyrics

he says he writes fiction on the weekends
but we all know that what he really means is
“i’m obsessed with strangers”

now you’re walking away, you’re walking away
you’re walking away from the north star

she told me how to make a proper fist
i wanted a piece of that catharsis,
i was given the face of a renaissance baby

now you’re walking away, you’re walking away
borealis in the mid-day
you own a cover for your cover for your cover
you understand the distance

and you understand the sharp edges of the present tense
and any drop of genuine interest is deliverance

you carry yourself on, without disclaimer, without disclosure
out of the frying pan and into the ether, am i right?

i saw you ripping up the ground like a toddler with a birthday cake
i saw you dive through the primordial foam underneath, you didn’t need release

and you understand the necessity of recurring themes
but i don’t, i’m honestly all over the place, i don’t really go to these events

by Echo Vessel

Much like the act of gazing at clouds, this album leaves room for your subconscious to fill in the blanks. It's as breezy or as hypnotic as you allow it to be. Continental Shelf

A Bunch of Smaller Parts
by Bot Garden

Nick and Rob contribute bass and drums respectively to Bot Garden, although this great EP was created before Rob's time in the band. Still not tired of it even after learning all the (smaller) parts. Continental Shelf

Silver Ladders
by Mary Lattimore

Listening to this record feels like falling through the fullness of space toward unspeakable, existential truth. That's that. Continental Shelf
