pierce through the night
kindle the flames in this house of ice
build it all up
let it break down
guess you have to get lost
before you'll be found
they say those are the times
but here you are stuck in love with what you despise
move it all out
let it back in
guess you have to be hurt
before you can heal
and now the tide's coming
and I'm not sure we will
ever feel the same
the patches of paint, they defy you
the stairs you once played on, now they hardly hold your weight
those were the times
mourn with a smile
guess what you have lost now
you won't find
again
seems nothing remained of that shiver, that held you
that broken door frame, that kept you up all night
we give what we have
if it's not enough
I'll try to mourn us with a smile
and now the tide's coming
and I'm not sure things will
ever be the same
one day far I'll build another home for us

This split EP from two France-based musicians is a gem, both artists recalling the glory days of slowcore in their heart-tugging melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 11, 2023
Dreamlike and gorgeous bedroom pop from Ukranian one-man band nearr. Foggy synths and downcast vocals make for an absorbing listen. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 16, 2017
