lyrics
I wanted to drown out the silence
To clutter my head from outside instead
Wanted to fill up every corner
And leave not a space to contemplate
I packed my bags, ran towards the bellow
Of engines and horns that grumble and roar
But in the hum there is no solace
Relief is a bride for whom to fight
I longed to hear some quiet, but then it came a cruel blow
And so I ran back to the noise, to mute the silence
Turn down the silence
There is a road outside my window
The wheels never cease to keep me from sleep
I've not the courage to escape it
My head's in a spin without its din, I cannot win
I longed to hear some quiet...
We are always on our own
Even when surrounded by a thousand souls
There is no lull in between what's inside and outside of the wall
I long to hear some quiet
I cannot hear the quiet...

Drifting dreampop and snarling grunge, with potent vocals wrapped in gauzy textures one minute, surrounded by jagged riffs the next. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 21, 2023
A hushed and low-lit EP from this Melbourne musician, where dreamlike melodies drift across a bed of tender guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
