ECLECTIC PICKS - 2022 (Part 1) (Freshonthenet)

i remember meeting lauren
i remember meeting ivy
i remember meeting amy, then tara
i remember the first show i saw here
and war pigs in the lecture hall
play that champagne supernova solo again
i'll kill you

all in the wrong order
i remember cleaning up glass
smashing it too
no good mornings
and a reading of this tao lin poem
bring me my wine

i left myself in the river
i left myself in the river

i'm in a good place

i'm thinking of a colour
i'm thinking of the nice things
in the river

'Tower of Babel' was born of humming birds and the three years of viscous river ooze dripping from our mouths. a boschian tale of queer fertility, a line under everything, a nervous glimpse of something scurrying under the bed. all this and more explored throughout its monumental twenty minute runtime. this album stumbles naked from noise rock to hyperfolk, always completely delirious, vomiting darkwave and a kind of minimalism onto your lawn.

the first single is called 'manta ray'. something horrible has washed up on the shore, in your room, at the club, in this dream. in this dream i am running towards some glimmer of moonlight, hollow and completely out of my mind.

i am trying to break through to you, the listener; i want nothing more than to be the swirling vortex of feedback and pop sensibilities that you need me to be. this album is a part of that, i think. i hope there is something for you, no matter how brief. thank you.

in the river

UNWRITTEN RULES - This song is about unhealthy coping mechanisms and the impact they can have on loved ones.The lyrics depict the negative reactions that people can have to mental
illness and how our gut reactions towards a loved one who is struggling can be upsetting to the individual going through it. It’s also however, about the healthier coping mechanisms of art and
music and how they can heal.

“I carry around lots of guilt about the impact my mental health issues had on my loved ones. It’s really stupid though because if I was physically ill I wouldn’t feel so bad about being unwell. It’s
an angry song, I was angry at myself and my brain and our horrible society. It started off as anger towards people but I soon realised that these feelings were misdirected which is why it seems as if I am talking to a person within the song when I am not".

At its core, ‘Unwritten Rules’ presents the complexities of human relationships and the negative aspects that are found within even the healthiest of connections to other people.
