lyrics
Cold side of the pillow,
marking on my cheek:
loyal in my cold life
so sadness doesn’t seep out
I go to drink
to warm my soul or whatever’s inside: frightened animal.
When I’m cold I’m closed:
someone broke my nose at night,
blood ran through the valleys of my face.
Looking through the mirror
I couldn’t feel a thing:
outside
without meaning.
The pillow’s warming now,
most flip it around.
I want to feel the heat
pass right through my cheek;
flow to ocean dark and swirling
to thaw a self emerging.
Face warm and yearning,
sun and meaning filling everything
and me
with love for everyone:
when I hurt others
I drink spilling meaning so I can sleep.
“Two faces have been shown
in your reductive songs
you want simplicity.
Bipolar binary.
Inside more selves are swimming,
surfacing, it’s never ending.”
I sat watching the leaves
blow in the autumn breeze
thinking of that baby we almost had.
A self created me.
I drink for times when life’s beneath is shown
burbling up, bursting the self I’ve known.
Kelp speaks to me. Sad and experimental like Drowse. Musical freedom. I teared up during the chorus of "Falter" while watching them play last week: "you are changed." drowse
August creates slow, warm songscapes. He has released a wild amount of albums since starting the project last year and I'm in awe of his work ethic. Also, my friend Alex from Sprain plays on this. drowse
Portland shoegaze that plays, as the best representatives of the genre do, with huge, hollow atmosphere against intimate observations. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 23, 2016
