lyrics
Indulging old clichés of absence
Inevitable given the distance
The pace of your departure
The things we didn't say
In the cold, bright, immediate months since
Memories taking up residence
In listed spots across the town
Landmarks my mind can't tear down
Have to face the change, constant and mundane
Smother questions left unanswered give up fighting yourself
there's nothing to gain from this, it doesn't help
wasted thoughts, old clichés, mental ping-pong each day
all that remains here since you went
Still stuck on old clichés of absence
More masochistic nonsense
I summon the strength to feel something
now the train's pulled out of the station
now the situation's beyond me
I can lament the hesitation
Have to face the change, limited and strange
Sick of all the blame fixed upon your name
Muddle through
Make new plans
No more scripting altered endings for the past
Leave a house in my head
where you'll stay with all my other missing friends
Old clichés will remain
The ever earnest truth, it sounds so lame
Muddle through
Making new plans
Embrace the possibilities we can.
Inevitable given the distance
The pace of your departure
The things we didn't say
In the cold, bright, immediate months since
Memories taking up residence
In listed spots across the town
Landmarks my mind can't tear down
Have to face the change, constant and mundane
Smother questions left unanswered give up fighting yourself
there's nothing to gain from this, it doesn't help
wasted thoughts, old clichés, mental ping-pong each day
all that remains here since you went
Still stuck on old clichés of absence
More masochistic nonsense
I summon the strength to feel something
now the train's pulled out of the station
now the situation's beyond me
I can lament the hesitation
Have to face the change, limited and strange
Sick of all the blame fixed upon your name
Muddle through
Make new plans
No more scripting altered endings for the past
Leave a house in my head
where you'll stay with all my other missing friends
Old clichés will remain
The ever earnest truth, it sounds so lame
Muddle through
Making new plans
Embrace the possibilities we can.

I liked Desired's self-titled release very much, so had to get "Lovestory" as well, its style feels the closest. Desired must be a fan of the 80ies "Cat's Eye" anime, as tracks 1 and 8 are from its soundtrack.

It’s tough to choose a favorite for this one because I like them all. I think I might choose Come Down because the vocal sample really enhances the mood of the track.

Feels like you just came home and are winding down before bed after a fun summer day.

Irish act Perlee used lockdown time to develop demos into this raw, but lovely collection of tuneful alternative folk songs.
go to album -
Haunting and moody art pop spun from gauzy layers of synth and topped with aching vocals.

The four songs on this EP are smoky and mysterious, wreaths of synth surrounding Kiara NGL’s whispery vocals.
