so you're already in flames
and i'm all the water here
not enough to quench the rage
of all these wasted years
and tomorrow wouldn't care
if we never had been here
we'll just burn and float away
tomorrow is half the world away
we couldn't run fast enough to stand in place
so you're already in pain
and there's no anesthetic here
and we all know who to blame
just point your fingers in the air
cause you never really say
what the point is anyway
we'll just burn and float away
tomorrow is half the world away
we couldn't run fast enough to stand in place
and there's no better way
just burn and float away
there's no better way
just burn and float away
we're already dead but somehow we're still
breathing
so you're already in flames
and there's no more water here

This NYC quartet channels the anxious, experimental nature of late '90s-early '00s Olympia indie rock in their tense, rhythmic post-punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 8, 2016
Juxtaposing poetic balladry with roaring feedback and warped piano lines, the Vermonter's music is as stunning as it is unsettling. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024
