born in a spray of
swollen knees
blind hope and
measureless belief
laying like the husks they are
cast across the cracked tile floor.
soon taught to learn but with no task
beyond a thousand indispensable distractions.
raised by silkworms and the mice
interred in textbooks and advice.
“you’re so cruel to yourself
but don’t speak ill of the dead
just do until you heal”
scared lover wakes you from a dream
sighs sounded like a stifled scream
glass wishbone arms in moth-pocked sheets
fall still until dawn intercedes
on sleepless nights, you sense it too
your punctuality will destroy you
your love is not repairable
and thinking is unbearable

Sadly overlooked and underrated, it's one of 2018's essential records, mixing highly catchy Pop sensibilities with exquisite Noisy sound treatment. Don't miss this one! melomanocinefilo

Cecil Frena can make any type of record! I’d love another record in this style! BUY this record so you can get the best song on it, “Now I Remember” Larry David
It's not often you see a debut EP so beloved that fans still get lit when they hear a song from it in concert. That's how good this is. weirdschlongbox
