i don't remember how i found this band (maybe through lithics?), but i've loved their shtick ever since. repetitive, syncopated & coarse guitars playing around in one chord accompanied by drum chaos. Matt Radosevich's simple vocal parts cast the cacophany in an innocent light.

all the songs are from the EPs the band has released over the last 6 years and it's that weird thing where i already have a deep affinity for the EP versions so now it's like this album is my new stepdad that i have to learn to coexist with.

here are the lyrics to seven winds. there's also a very good live version performed during a "spoiler room"

seven winds blow hard

seven breezes blow on

wind chimes, tin cans, rope lights

rattle in the meantime

seven winds blow hard

seven breezes blow on

wind chimes, tin cans, rope lights

rattle in the meantime

rattle in the meantime

rattle in the meantime

and i won't be caught

and i won't be caught this time uncovered

and i'll bide my time till i've crossed safely now

till i've crossed safely now

seven winds
