Joe I saw them play last week. They reminded me of the band Sarge. I dunno if this was before or after I learned they were both from Champaign. Favorite track: Unusual You.

Cyan Pepper Saw y'all at exhile on main a couple months ago for the release of this album and finally got around to buying it! The whole album is such a vibe Favorite track: Routine.

PlayFairPunk I was already sold on this album after hearing the pre-release songs routine, scab and ponytail. Then I listen to the full album and the very first song “Stay” absolutely blows me away. Each release from this band makes me feel less alone about my battles with anxiety and depression, my waves of nostalgia and contemplations on my childhood, and insecurities around current familial relationships, whether that’s the bands intention or not. So happy to have this band to listen to!

Jared D. Weiss I'm going to assume TMF stands for "that MF (dog.)" cause, damn, that's a heck of a track. Favorite track: TMF.

Stay 02:16
When you call, I already know From your tone of voice When it comes, it knocks you down You don’t have a choice What kind of pain do you feel Descriptions make it real We keep track, keep hoping that it’s Not worst case Hear you moving around, it wakes me up at night Listen close for the sound, know that something isn’t right Promise I will stay Until it goes away We can’t run away, so we turn on the light Senses rush awake, meet an unwelcome sight Promise I will stay Until it goes away
2.
Routine 02:15
You love the routine I feel so guilty When I come home late at night But you make it alright You say that you’re sorry but I don’t think you’re sorry, bud You’re dragging your feet around Like you’re stuck in the mud Help to step outside of me When everything’s too much Some kind of spirituality You love the routine If you could talk please tell me How to give you the best life Want to get it right You love the routine You look so happy When I come home every night You make it alright You say that you’re sorry but I don’t think you’re sorry, bud You’re dragging your feet around Like you’re stuck in the mud Help to step outside of me When everything’s too much Some kind of spirituality

Scab 02:43
Why do you come here if you don’t want any help Maybe you just want to hear it from someone else Stuck inside it Casual violence If I stick to a plan, will I start to feel better again Stuck to the pan, pick it off like a scab It’s so easy to believe In what may not come true It’s not always visible Don’t know what to do If I stick to a plan, will I start to feel better again Stuck to the pan, pick it off like a scab Stick to a plan, start to feel better again Stuck to the pan, pick it off like a scab I thought if I tried hard enough Then maybe it would go away But no matter what It’s with me every day It’s with me every day It’s with me every day But if I Stick to a plan, will I start to feel better again Stuck to the pan, pick it off like a scab Stick to a plan, start to feel better again Stuck to the pan, pick it off like a scab

Rocket 02:36
I’m blasting off in a rocketship To a different planet ‘Cause I’m sick of this Spend my days with My head stuck in the clouds I might as well not Try to come down Stand on solid ground each day Can I open up my heart And escape The world keeps spinning but I just want to move on I find myself retreating Into another daydream You can see the empty look on my face I’m not really here I dissociate It’s so dark out in space I hope that I can find a better place The world keeps spinning but I just want to move on
5.
Feel like you walk around with egg on your face When you look at yourself, the mirror starts to break Another black cat passes by across the street Every day feels like it is Friday the 13th It’s just not your day Things never turn out your way You hold your breath as you pass by the graveyard Reshuffle the deck but you’re drawing the same card Is it a curse, is there something else to blame It’s not too late, maybe your bad luck can change It’s just not your day Things never turn out your way If you could only find four leaf clover Then all your troubles would soon be over It’s just not your day Things never turn out your way Unlucky buddy
6.
TMF 01:48
When you wear that fur trimmed coat It makes you look like a villain Puffing out cigar smoke Blowing hot air While I’m just chilling Interrupt, excuse, pretend Explain what I already said Lay down, army crawl your way Back into the conversation Go on and tell me All the things that I do wrong Show me your success I promise it won’t take too long Insincere smile You’re treating me like a child Every conversation feels like I am put on trial Go on and tell me All the things that I do wrong Show me your success With no acknowledgement Go on and tell me All the things that I do wrong Spill all your secrets I promise it won’t take too long

Unusual You 02:22
Too proud to talk about it I’m not out of line When we speak, it’s in opposites Are we wasting time It hurts to see how hard it is for you to find Compassion for another living thing Where do you learn this stuff, the logic’s feeling pretty rough You know you speak with so much certainty Being cruel Is not unusual Unusual is you When you speak every single thought out loud It leaves you without time for listening Clawing for a sense of common ground Is not the way that I want things to be Being cruel Is not unusual Unusual is you
8.
Ponytail 04:15
You’re driving me home I’m in the backseat Just like when I was a kid Staring at the back of your head Sitting in the silence of a missed opportunity You saved some of my hair Chopped off blonde ponytail From when I was a little girl Now it’s like Dirty brown water We keep changing but I’m forever your Daughter When did your hair start to go grey When I’m not there I miss the gradual change Feeling old and still afraid Wish I could see Where I’m supposed to be Please don’t lose your joy in gentle things

Lucky 02:38
We were wishing on plastic stars Ignorance was easy Healing is hard Now I stand at the edge And regret is staring right back at me Was I trying my best I think I have finally started listening Remind me I should consider us lucky
10.
Cold Walk 04:05
Wearing my sister’s jacket Gloves in the pocket I’ll grip them like a hand So much time but still can’t sleep Dreams make more sense than reality Fall deeply, wake up And try again When I look at my face It’s like a drawing I wish I could erase And try again Why do dogs run away Learning the desire of escape Now we take walks every day Sad dog barking in the yard Tired of being alone Wants to go inside But no one’s home I forgot to take a picture of you It’s like I’m looking straight through I forgot to take a picture of you It’s like I’m looking straight through I forgot to take a picture of you It’s like I’m looking straight through To prepare for a time without you
