Tell me once again
How you think this all will end
In a flash, in a flash
Collapse and start again
How can you be sure
You’re the dreamer not the dream?
Pinch myself on the arm
But it doesn’t mean a thing
Let’s escape to
Pine needles and blackberries
MTV and ice cream
Shouting in the wind
We’ll lean over the railing and we’ll
Spit into the creek
Dead leaves getting stuck in the wheels of our bikes
We can take the shortcut
Behind the pizza pipeline
Pool our quarters ‘cause a medium is $7.99
You always get nervous
When we ask about your weekend
It’s alright, we don’t mind
You know we like you anyway
Let’s escape to
Pine needles and blackberries
MTV and ice cream
Shouting in the wind
We’ll lean over the railing and we’ll
Spit into the creek
Dead leaves getting stuck in the wheels of our bikes

The collaborative EP from two Seattle bands is an unexpected delight of dancey guitar rock with an appealingly tossed off vibe. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 3, 2024
Indie rock suspended between youthful ennui and youthful rage, hooky but cerebral and taut with rhythmic tension, just like the 90s. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 23, 2024
