limits of desire has to be one of the most captivating and emotionally driven albums I've ever heard

Timeless. All I had was like 2 words and a beat and I panicked for a moment but was able to find this amazing song again after so long 😭🥂💖

I wonder if small black still even check soundcloud, i hope they see this....YOU GUYS ARE UNDERRATED ! I fucks with your music so much 

The third released song by Philadelphia's Work Drugs.  Written by Benjamin Louisiana and Thomas Crystal.  Additional pretty vocals and whispers by Joan Wellfleet.

Only in Your Eyes

Lyrics:

If you think you know yourself
Well you don’t
You don’t
 
You’re too afraid to lose control
To let go
And just float
 
All of these dreams
Within you
Within me
Somehow
I feel
Part of you
Is part of me
 
If you try to find yourself
On your own
Well you won’t
 
But if you learn to love yourself
When you’re low
Well maybe there’s hope  
 
All of these dreams
Within you
Within me
Somehow
I feel
Part of you
Is part of me
 
Deep underwater
Your emotions
Call to you
“Go where the wind blows
All of this time spent hesitating”
 
Down by the water
Cross the ocean
I should go
Go where the tides pull
All of our lives to rearrange them
 
With you I feel I find myself
I let go
And we float
 
All of these dreams
Within you
Within me
Somehow
I feel
Part of you
Is part of me

Within You, Within Me

In the cold and dreary winter of 2009, alone in his bedroom and hidden from the darkness of the world outside Justin Paul Vallesteros had begun working on something that would change his life forever. What began as a couple notes played in experimentation soon transformed into vibrant melodies that soon shook Vallesteros’ musical foundation to the core. Guitar chords laced over pulse sating synth melodies and drum rhythms was a departure from Justin’s previous work; he began to create the dreamy nostalgic pop music that is Craft Spells. Justin is a California native who now finds residence in the mid-size town of Stockton, the heart of California. Craft Spells is the epitome of the recent uprising of the DIY music scene. Coming from a place not known for its musical history or impact on music culture it seemed destined for Craft Spells to stay as a bedroom pop project with no final destination in sight. But soon the shear amount of blog volume his work began to generate was unimaginable. Sites like Weekly Tape Deck, Pasta Primavera, No Modest Bear and Pitchfork’s Forkcast took notice and thus began the never ending worldwide posting and re-posting on blog after blog of Craft Spells. The sound is led by Justin’s blissful voice, backed behind beautiful guitar melodies over heavenly synths, pop basslines and looped rhythms. Captured Tracks has released 7” single for the song “Party Talk” and will release the debut LP due out in Spring 2011 called Idle Labor. 2011 is going to be a busy year now that Justin has set up a live band for future touring. Keep a look out for tour dates in Europe and US come the new year. In no time at all, Justin has been able to move out of Dave Brubeck and Pavement’s shadow to create something his own which he shares with the ever continuing admiration of the world.
