Lyrics:
Oh yes, a regular Antoinette
She rolls her own cigarettes
Never takes second best
I was going to say hello before it's time to go
She used to be a rebel, still wears denim though
I said that I like your coat
She don't act surprised
She's talking
But I know she's only listening half the time

These days will all seem better in time
Waiting on that hindsight

I caught you sleeping in my bathroom
I should drive you home now
Every drug you've ever wanted
Tell me are you happy now? Halfway to passing out?
By the time you get the chance to reflect fondly on your life
Congratulations! I know there's regret somewhere in your eyes

These days will all seem better in time
Waiting on that hindsight

Family Hahas - Hindsight (GROUPHUG Volume 2 is out 7/31!)



Minneapolis-based Carroll, one of the most colorful, carefully honed acts in indie rock, are many things: young, vibrant, contemplative. But perhaps most interestingly, they’re a case study in how four distinct creative voices can coalesce into one balanced, relentlessly engaging sound.

The mechanics were simple enough: Near the end of 2011, Brian Hurlow’s demos (think melancholic, synth-based pop) caught the ear of his college classmate, Charlie Rudoy. The latter was a drummer who could bring to the songs a live, artful element. The pair quickly moved in together on St. Paul’s Carroll Avenue, tucked neatly in between Summit Hill and the Mississippi River. After some experimenting and tip-toeing through early gigs, Hurlow and Rudoy brought on board two more musicians to flesh out the live show. Max Kulicke and Charles McClung, talented artists in their own right, slid seamlessly into the line-up on guitar and bass, respectively. From there, Carroll—two Rs, two Ls, and now two Charlies—was set in motion.

An EP, Needs, was followed in quick succession by a host of accolades.

Though their buzz was reaching a fever pitch, Carroll escaped to a cabin in the remote Northern wilderness. There, they recorded a handful of demos that ended up—by chance, by fate—on the desk of the renowned producer Jon Low (The War on Drugs, The National, more). Low summoned the band to Philadelphia, where they cut and mixed their self-titled debut LP in 18 marathon days. The sound could be best described as closing your eyes and submerging yourself into a bathtub of your ideal warmth--only to open your eyes and discover you're bathing in a hazardous green liquid. Even knowing this, you can't deny that you feel warm and coddled.

Despite the pace at which it was made, Carroll (due out September 18 on Entertainment One Music) is thoughtful, pointed, dense, fun, hypnotic. As for that coalescence, the band refuses to get in its own way. Carroll’s exercise in writing perfectly fucked up pop gems yielded an LP that sounds like a pop approach to writing heady, woozy, psychedelic rock. With singles (“Bad Water,” “Alligator”) already dominating radio markets, Carroll should soon test its thesis from a much wider platform. Having opened for such disparate acts as Le1f and Dr. Dog, the four components to a singular vision are sure to find a home on dials and stages near you very soon.

This is for desire she said
as she lay waiting for you in her bed
she just wants to feel the edges of herself
be reminded the weight of you felt like no one else

And it's not love we lost 
we just forget to nurture its cause
and I've been waiting on you 
to make us feel brand new 

She said this is for the words I forget to say
I love you most of the minutes of most of my days
but sometimes we step out of line 
I miss the beat of your pulse by mine 

And it's not love we lost 
we just forget to nurture its cause
and I've been waiting on you 
to make us feel brand new 

Please don't wait till we're strangers in our bed
till your loving someone else instead 


And it's not love we lost 
we just forget to nurture its cause
and I've been waiting on you 
to make us feel brand new
