beach day

lyrics:
there's a bloody grin above my head
and I'm telling you so
there's a lot of questions in my head
and i'm kinda bored

there's a moment
there's a promise
there's a shotgun
don't press the button
please, take advantage
I'm not longer here

and I feel my heart trapped inside
and I feel my lungs teared apart
would it be better?
if I could not give a damn
would it be better?
Mordder says...

there's the funny things that come by

and I feel my heart trapped inside 
and I feel my lungs teared apart
would it be better?
demise, he's looking upset
would it be better?
hey, Sarah's preaching a debt

hey, Sarah's preaching a debt
demise, he's looking upset
if I could not give a damn
if I could not give a damn

I started work on this album after being put out of work in June of 2020. I’d been traveling for my job for a really long time, and when I came home I was a bit lost. The first night I got home I dreamt of a song. When I woke up I picked up my guitar for the first time in about a year and wrote the song Ambulance. From then on, I spent a lot of time re-learning to play my instruments, since I hadn’t had access to them for so long (in addition to the fact that I was suuupppeerrr rusty on guitar to begin with, it’s been a REALLY long time) and getting back in touch with some older music that I’d been putting off listening to for a while. Originally, this album was gonna have a much more upbeat vibe, but as we delved deeper into the pandemic, that vibe disintegrated and devolved into what’s easily the most emotionally vulnerable Blue Hole album to date. After scrapping the original version of the album (Slate and Tents are the only original versions that made it on the record) I went on a musical tangent into Cosmonaut, born out of me rediscovering synths and trying to capture the magic that I had with Osmosis. Whether or not I was successful is debatable, but it was a great excursion to get my mind in the right place to finish Songs Of Isolation, the right way. 

Most of these songs were recorded alone, between the hours of 2-6 A.M.. Nearly all percussion was made by hand with various objects laying around the studio. All of the vocals were recorded in a week-long stretch on my couch. As far as lyrics, production, instrumentation, and overall execution go, this is easily the most intimate album I’ve ever even attempted, let alone released, and the emotions expressed here are all real and very important to me. I feel like this marks the beginning of a new era for Blue Hole and my musical output, as my music continues to bind itself tighter and tighter to my personality and emotion. In my mind, my anxiety makes me feel like I’m too old for this type of thing and every album feels like my last. I’m turning 23 on the 15th of October, so I have to keep reminding myself that I’m (hopefully) just beginning, and not to beat myself up too badly. If I keep making things that I can be this proud of, that shouldn’t be too hard. 

Thanks for listening, 
Jake

akí te va benjamín contreras

ya no es normal verla llegar
no va a pasar nada más

y esta ilusión 
de sentir que todo
va a volver eventualmente
me consume lentamente / no me hace bien
