In every moment of ambivalence I’d find some comfort in the knowledge that somewhere you may be watching from afar; and in time we’ll see eachother again. But for now I’m tightly clinging to an unseen hand that leads me through the dark, praying that it’s you.
Softly singing through the annals of my youth. Never one to be dramatic but I knew you’d be unable to depart without making sure we understood you’d always be around.
Out of sight, and sometimes I still find that hard to sing about.
We’ve gotta ask if you could feel it as you left?
Cos there was laughter from another room.
A warmth imbued in everyone you knew.
And it feels uncomfortable to say it out loud, but I was happy when you died.
When I found out, everyone was full of love and of light sharing stories of your life.
And we still speak of you in dulcet tones, every word in homage to the houses you’ve made homes.
I wanna know if you could hear it as you left?
Cos I was laughing from another room.
Your brevity suffused in me, even though I’m still bereft of how to praise you adequately - I hope to God that I still make you proud.

Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey
The post-hardcore band’s latest is a reflection on time, memory, death, and grief—and is their dreamiest material to date. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 22, 2019

This album is overwhelmingly good. I've been making music for long enough and listened to too much music to not be impressed easily. This album is goosebumps from beginning till end. Completely different realm of existence of good. minerva
