did you forget i tried to kiss you on the mouth?
you couldn't find the words to say or even shout
so you tackled me and started choking me with force
when you came to, you saw me startled on the floor
and it hasn't been the same
as when we first would hang
i thought you weren't like that
but people change
people fade away
and everyone that saw it happen didn't jar
they just decided it was best to stay afar
they couldn't speak to you until this ran its course
and you flew home without a handle or remorse
and it hasn't been the same
as when we first would hang
i thought you weren't like that
but people change
people fade away

Twinkling, glitched-out ambience punctuated by bubbling beats: think Stereolab's foundation if they were less European and more Californian. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 6, 2016
This New Zealand group have a sweet glaze and an underlying toothiness that would have fit right in on mid-’90s alt-rock radio. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 1, 2019
