Is it really a surprise to me
That they’re taking you seriously?
I always had the very best seats
Now they’re calling you off of the streets
Your face is now a sharpened jaw
All these women are in shock and awe
That such a nice guy
Could be so unrefined
It’s like an ancient dug up curse
Is what you leave will be what’s worse?
I don’t care
There’s no one out in the upper lot
For us to be seen or caught
I’ve been hoarding all of your tapes again
I know you’ve got a slot at 10
I’ll be waiting with my work in tow
Knowing how these conversations tend to go
Your eyes don’t read “I’m fine”
But I can’t stop thinking of you as mine
Just for now
It’s like an ancient dug up curse
Is what you leave will be what’s worse?
I don’t care

Recorded at Rosa Mortem in Sacramento, California
Sometimes the production makes a record for me. The songwriting is awesome, and Steven John Marr did a awesome job capturing the band’s sounds. Love the fuzzed-out, overdriven guitars sounds on Garden, the Wedding Present-ish tones on Holdin’ To Your Breath, and on and on... theMichaelFrank
i forgot how good this record is, i picked up the vinyl at a record store figuring i would listen again eventually, and here i am the same night enjoying every track. definitely worth listening!! katt2
An easy-to-love combination of emo and jangle pop, the first full album from Spirit Night in eight years feels bathed in a golden glow. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 8, 2023
Slowcore, shoegaze, twee, and noise find their way into this ambitious full length from the St. Louis band Frankie Valet. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 9, 2020
Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
