The Cause

It seems like everyone is blind (you’re sick, you’re sick boy)
And I see see see so I gotta make it right (do you really wanna go where the others all go)
Dozens pass by and we give ‘em some more time (you’re sick, you’re sick boy
We warmly welcome you, it’s your turn to shine (do you really wanna go where the others all go)
It’s the talks, all the talks
In holes and corners I walk
It’s the talks, all the talks
For the cause
We all stan the company man (you’re sick, you’re sick boy)
And you won’t believe how grateful I am (do you really wanna go where the others all go)
Second thoughts, second face, in fact (you’re sick, you’re sick boy)
Smiles in the front, disorder in the back (do you really wanna go where the others all go)
It’s the talks, all the talks
In holes and corners I walk
It’s the talks, all the talks
For the cause
I am the one making mommy proud
It’s the talks, all the talks
In holes and corners I walk
It’s the talks, all the talks
For the cause

Once Again

Make yourself comfortable, it’s gonna be a ride
The pre, main and after courses right in front of your eyes
Repetition, once again, this is why we’ve gathered
We will gobble up just anything
We’re all sincere
Some are halfway through, pursue, some have just begun
Some are directionless but willing to run
So we pass it around, round 6, gobbling once again
We will extend
We’re all sincere
No smile, no cry, no desire
Makeshift ways of making time fly
All needs, all greed, all tired
I’m sure we’re not the only ones

A prisoner, a clown
And a bar in town with a name referring to a tree
Strangers, so we started talking
My heart wide open, I enjoyed anonymity
It feels like anything, still I miss a thing
You’ve got me feeling fine, I need you by my side
I do
15000 k’s, an upset belly
I’ve been there before, my love, it started long ago
No strangers, but we started talking
You’re more than welcome to stay but I gotta go
It feels like anything, still I miss a thing
You’ve got my feeling fine, I need you by my side
I do

A Necessity

I’ve been searching in the dark, oh, resentment I felt
Thanks for putting in all the work, I’ve been trying to get myself
Disagree to disagree, a never ending dialogue
Redefine the gravity, made me living like someone else
Disguised myself in camouflage, ruined it by being loud
Naked, cold, still wet, I’m done with living like someone else
Never thought I would get this far, second youth has begun
It has been a long long run,
you’ve made it hard, pushed me down but I’m walking with pride
And if you want to know why
I love what I once had denied
You should try to walk some miles
A necessity
As an act of self defense, necklace on the shelf
So here we are looking, just looking, I’m still living like someone else
Sacrifice your peace of mind, if I want to be with you
I remember the old days
When we walk but at least we are walking with pride
And if you want to know why
I love what I once had denied
You should try to walk a mile
A necessity

Alarm at 9 o’clock, already getting dark, yet I came along
Such a foolish move, but I did it all for you
Sparked my instinct on, it’s getting obvious, don’t know what’s going on
Although I came along, I did it all for you
I said: You’ve got me so, so selfless I’ll pull through
Do you feel the same? And then I spot the chain, spot the keychain on your jeans
While I try to find out if you know what it means
And then I smell the rush, while our trousers touch, I hope you know we aren’t seen
Slurping on the gold, trying to find out what it means
I said: You’ve got me so, so selfless I’ll pull through
And when I rise, I look into your eyes, and kiss you on the cheeks
While I immediately feel it shaking through my knees
Wet pits and finger dips and your rhythmic hips, it’s a secret we both keep
And I will process this, slowly grinding in my sleep
I said: You’ve got me so, so selfless I’ll pull through

Love has changed, it’s getting foul
I want it as it was
Gazing faces I allow
I need it as it was
I want it all
My love has names I won’t repeat
Chasing needs with ease
Incoming call for my defeat
Different needs to please, I please
I want it all
I walk it off

The Big Blowout
02:32

Excitement lurks at every turn, moderation I should’ve learned
Consequences seem like something I can’t wrap my head around
The first exit, direction east, risk I will love to see increase
Realizing I’m in need to wrap my head around
It will be fine, at least it seems
Our shared debut, both so green, our hands still spotless clean
and how it seems to float in our heads around
Both easy to break-in, we would take what we could take and
to this day that’s something I can't wrap my head around
It will be fine, at least it seems
Acquaintances eager to help, came running for the gold we held
We should’ve been coming around
But we chose for the quick and easy and oh how we’ve witnessed greed
When he came around
It will be fine, at least it seems
8 hours on the clock, 800 grams in stock, my heart pounding in my throat
I remember trying to not make a sound
Thriving on adrenaline, trying to control the scene, I noticed he had won
As he took out his gun and simply turned around
It will be fine, at least it seems

He always has been a dreamer
The birds took him out
Who would ever believe him?
Yeah, the trust, it got fewer
In every try to get help
So the expected future:
Waste, distraction, violence, drugs, sedated, silence, love
Child’s play in the attic
Learned a different love
Who would ever believe him?
Kept on rolling with the punches
The doubting got lost
So he bailed his way out of:
Waste, distraction, violence, drugs, sedated, silence, love

Past Me

Words still ring, of cautionary tales
Cover up, never trust
Morality, forget about it
Invitation, no night without it
Make way, you will get nothing
Make way, hey
Forced to shy away
No time for paranoia
(an) Attempt to stay sane
It’s getting harder to stay sane
Reflexive scare, throw your hand away
Destructive stare, burning on me
Confidence, forget about it
Dominance, no night without it
Make way, you will get nothing
Make way, hey
Forced to shy away
No time for paranoia
(an) Attempt to stay sane
It’s getting harder to stay sane

The great underlying instrumentation paired with Florence's droll stream of consciousness lyrics make this album stand out. It feels so personal and confessional. Favorite tracks are Strong Feelings and Leafy. I've heard Scratchard Lanyard on alt radio and love that one as well.

Every song is great, but the lyrics to this one put it at the top for me.

You Wanted the Bike
by Aversions
The soaring arcs of post-rock, the punchy rhythms of post-hardcore, and the jagged lines of post-punk all join on the latest from Aversions.

An explosive, ennui-laden EP from Vancouver band Aversions, contrasting jittery post-punk melodies with muscular hardcore breakdowns.

A terrific split cassette from two promising young indie bands, this is one part melody, one part fury.
