1.	Banquet Hall Love Story 03:54	lyrics	buy track
He’s just a kid of suburban sprawl Who can’t save face in the eyes of God And she’s just a girl with love in her heart Who can’t seem to find the right place to start The right place to start Their eyes meet across the banquet hall As the snow outside begins to fall Winter’s chill is lost on them As the fire of love has their hearts on mend It has their hearts on mend And she’ll take his hand and they’ll dance through the evening And he’ll come to understand that she’s there to stop the bleeding Because ‘til now, he’s had no plan To defend against the feelings But with her, and her steady hands He has a chance, to stop the grieving Stop the grieving, stop the grieving
2.	The Grand Parade 04:05	lyrics	buy track
It started when I was 6 A kiss on the cheek and a final glimpse and you went away But you never did say That by the time, I was 12 You would still not be around to heal the pain Could I have made you stay? So at 18, I lost my mind Went barreling down the 405, oh god I didn’t want to face The fact I’d sit at 24, Locked behind my bedroom door, filled with hate And I still can’t shake Oh, this sinking feeling You made a mess of man out of me Oh, when you walked away, That day at the grand parade That day at the grand parade I can’t even describe the way it feels To be left behind, and spin my wheels After all this time, it’d be surreal To have you back in my life, shit This is the way I feel This is the way I feel This is the way I feel This is the way I feel
3.	Lake Placid 03:49	lyrics	buy track
So what went down, what went down? That has you sinking under the surface now Don’t you know, don’t you know? We’re all just dying out in an afterglow, an afterglow We dive into a lake so placid We watch our bodies fade to ashes Just put us down, put us down You’ve tossed these bodies all around Don’t you see, don’t you see? There’s just too much weight We’re falling to our knees, to our knees We dive into a lake so placid We watch our bodies fade to ashes A gentle kiss from lovers we hold Contain the balance, they’re as precious as gold We bury our hearts We strain our hearts But why do we? We break our hearts We strain our hearts But why do we? We dive into a lake so placid We watch our bodies fade to ashes We dive into a lake so placid We watch our bodies fade to ashes
4.	Voyager 04:44	lyrics	buy track
Close your eyes and count to ten I’m here waiting once again Standing on your porch with a long drawn sigh Oh how lonely it must be to die I can’t accept the blame for you, oh no I’m trapped inside the cycle It’s really such a shame We’re caught inside a web of misguided loyalties Close your eyes and count to ten I’m here waiting once again Standing on your porch with a long drawn sigh Oh how lonely it must be to die So call up your friends and hit the beach Oh how we live for sweet relief Traverse the water making waves I’m thinking of you all the way, all the way, all the way The temperatures rising in my heart The burning of a catching spark The signs of sadness are wearing thin A life finally in motion A life finally in motion A life finally in motion A life finally in motion
5.	Violet Sweatshirt 02:54	lyrics	buy track
Still's the night, prying at what's left At your best, sweatshirt cloaked over your chest Tired eyes make for tired conversations Confusion sets, a lack of common sense In your head, war persists without an end Tired eyes make for tired talks Our veins are full but our blood is thin
6.	Blackfoot 03:12	lyrics	buy track
Come back to me I knew you so well Come back to me Save me from my hell Come lay with me Like the garden when we were young Come stay with me A bond that can’t be undone And I try, to let you know That I’m not running back, running back, oh But the truth is that I’m just tired Of empty houses and empty towns, oh I’ve seen it all I know it’s gone I bury my bones at the bottom of the lake I hit it hard I know it’s gone But after all we’re just dust on the ground

My brothers band. Post-punk at its finest. I don't even listen to this genre but this record is just solid. They tour across North America too so they are most likely in your town soon Western Jaguar

I can't fully put my finger on it, but there's something in this album that makes me think of the Cramps on one hand and the Gorillaz on the other, not sure what though. I do love the direction this is headed in. A few of these are a bop like nobody seems to understand. I feel like it's relevant for how a lot of people feel these days daneascott
