about
I’m bored. we're all bored. we wrote and recorded a song during this boring time. Here is exactly what it sounds like as a waveform. It's about falling in love and not knowing exactly how to say it yet. This concept of shared love-'you say you love me but what does that mean?' It's like...does love mean the same thing to both of us? Can it ever entirely mean the same thing, being different people who experience life so differently? Maybe that's why they invented the 5 love languages, to reconcile with these little differences in how we give and take and feel love? Maybe this expression that you're listening to now is as close to an understanding of love as anything else.
Everything on this track is the first take, meaning we only recorded each part once. It was home recorded, right after SXSW was called off by the covid. It was meant to be a demo and then we were like...actually this sounds more genuine than it would if we just sat in a studio and hacked away at different takes, trying to make it perfect. The result is organic and cage free, but may contain soy and tree nuts.

lyrics
You say you love me
But what does that mean?
Loves so subjective
I don't know you that well
I never know what I'm gonna say
I never know just how to say
I never know what I'm gonna say
There's no telling
Just how far we'll go
It won't take that long
At the pace we go
I never know what I'm gonna say
I never know just how to say
I never know what I'm gonna say
But what does that mean?
Loves so subjective
I don't know you that well
I never know what I'm gonna say
I never know just how to say
I never know what I'm gonna say
There's no telling
Just how far we'll go
It won't take that long
At the pace we go
I never know what I'm gonna say
I never know just how to say
I never know what I'm gonna say

A fascinating document of a band finding its groove. It's got a drier sound and is rougher around the edges than "FOD", and some of these tracks feel more like experimental studies in rhythm/texture than proper songs. "Sunbeat" is especially weird, and I love them for it.
