mmemaledicta Every time this band puts out a new album, I'm like, "best since their first album", because they're just that good... every. Single. Time.

But honestly...
This one's the greatest yet! Favorite track: Homemade Mask.

hvu77 Impeccable and layered sound design, superb nuggets of samples, beautiful vocal sound, perfect beats... Really can't stop listening to this well- crafted and compelling album. Feels like we're wandering around in an attic filled with sparkling filaments of future memories. Favorite track: The House Always Wins.

feel it slip away they said don't worry about it gentle sleight of hand until they watch you let go joyful in the lurch now they can’t unsay it penitent descending not the future bending feel it fade away they said don't wonder about it blue light in the forest keep my cellar door shut scornful from the perch now they can’t unsay it so much for the omen it takes one to know one

7 floor down the stairs harbor chimes blowing in the evening air bittersweet camera flash picture us smiling up through the ash shameless banshee out in the yard where the tulips blow faithless we wanna see something bubbling up from the ruin in a dream coastal rain parking lot spirit in the storm drain throwing shapes homemade mask stalking the halls where I saw you last same old banshee out in the yard where the tulips blow faithless we wanna see something bubbling up from the ruin this ain't about love scrounging just to show you cause I'm on the defense pejorative scorpio somebody changed you somebody stop the show trial darken my doorway

Komorebi 04:52
said you’d never change you pushed me through a fraught cold world circle the drain your downfall the portal door merciful gray the moonrise the pendulum afraid of the dream of the answer waving back to you there’s somebody there there’s somebody there someone will come there ain’t no fatherland I want a breadcrumb to choose to love I wanna break I’m not afraid of someone just running down the sand I won't help I’m moving further in and out of love I’m out of love I’m out of love

sign of the times six to midnight eating the rags down to the last word dare you to care back to nature tripwire curves new persuasion both of them there with demon lips again they wouldn’t sow the road to regret my past deeds meeting your stare the precise time best of both worlds through the obscure fever to tell don’t you ask me all of them stare from their balconies able to dare hush the timeline they will just cut and run dissolve in shadow
9.
my world is over I know this is true but they can’t dissolve the memory birdsong deathbed on a morning late in june it don’t take to some astrology habit to see nothing was real that summer heading up to see the ocean cliffs couldn’t find the words to tell you it’s too much my heart is broken
