I know you're not like that others
and I hope that you're fine when you rewind
and see that when you uncover
that true love don't wait
and you'll laugh and you'll cry
every time when you try
everyday just be everything that you say
but you're not and it's fine
but you'll hope and you'll sigh
and you'll pray to some fuck everything's ok
Following the release of their EP Hollow Joy in 2015, Andy Alvarez and company continue to provide fantastic lo-fi indie tunes that meet at an intersection of youth and sincerity, yet matures both in lyricism and musicianship since their last full-length release. One of my most anticipated albums of the year, this doesn't disappoint.
