Nounverber This soothed my post-holiday lo-fi synth jones over the weekend. This album hit me like Devandra Banhart collabing with early Black Moth Super Rainbow, which would have been the greatest thing to hit the indie scene ever. I searched high and low on Bandcamp for anything remotely close to this, and this pretty much nailed it. Digging this album, severely. Favorite track: Equine.

Don't stop, won't stop. Don't stop. Won't stop. Don't stop. Won't stop. Don't stop, won't stop. That's cool man. That's all you're gonna say to me? That's cool? Don't stop. What do you want me to say? I think you're crazy? No. No. No. Won't stop. Don't stop, Won't stop. To tell you the truth man, I'm kinda torn. For all the times I wanted to believe, but couldn't find the strength of mind, I'll carry on, now without a doubt. Making up for our lost time. Don't stop, Don't stop. Don't stop. Don't stop. Don't stop. Won't stop. Don't stop, won't stop. Don't stop. Won't stop. Don't stop. Won't stop. Don't stop. Won't stop.

Holy Days 01:38
Circling the sun, again and again. A repeated day is like seeing an old friend. Will you be here for the holiday? No, I think I must be on my way. Rolling joints with the in-laws. Something suspenseful, really long pause...for the holiday. For the holiday. Every time that I've ever felt lonely, I just needed to think of you. Family gatherings, all the anxiety, let it go just be you. Yeah, yeah, YEAH.

The circuitboard’s warm and you’re making me laugh, you’re only wearing socks and it’s helping you dance, I only got one shot to hit your heart like lightning. I open up like the pouring rain, comforted and covered in a sweet embrace, time starts to stop as your arms are tightening. Still holding on, we jump up and down, you giggle uncontrollably cuz you love this sound. I high five and that look in your eyes, I’m ready. A high five and that look in your eyes, I’m sweating. Whatever. You play my heart like a synthesizer, turning my dials to increase my desire, you hit the chord that makes everything exciting. Hair in your eyes, you can hardly see, you wear your smile so vibrantly, I never knew someone could be so inviting. I chase you through the hallway, what a beautiful back, once I have you cornered you begin your attack, we’ve never had this much fun playing in the house, playful as a puppy and as sharp as a cat, no hope for me once your spell is cast, if you told me to love you I would do nothing else.

But what about a more normal lifestyle?

Heatwave 01:32
Taking off, when it’s hot, the breeze it feels so good. While it lasts, I’ll take the chance, do you want to hit the road with me my friend? I’m only saying, life is short, let’s not waste it by being apart, you get me? And I get you too, more than you know.

I look in your eyes, I see the spark of life. You go your way, and I go mine. Please know that I care. Part of me is still there. By your side, or in the back of your mind. Wherever you find me, I’m here to remind you to love. Wherever you are, you don’t have to go far, to find your heart, and let it steer your course. And in the end, there is no end, there’s only love.

Main Out 01:28
This song’s for the one’s who have traveled so far and never gotten close to their dreams. When you’re building your life you take hold of your mind and shape your reality. What you leave behind, your understanding of time. Before the curtains close you want to know, the feeling of the moment. How now will stretch for every breath, until you’ve breathed your last. Until then, this is your life. Until then, this is your life. What chu waiting for? It better be good. Forget all the things that try to stop you, from being you. Isn’t it obvious that if you trust, you will find, the will to live, and live your dream.

Ha!

Why’s everybody looking down? Don’t they know that we are surrounded by a paradise? By a roll of the dice. You move at the speed of light. The waves emitted from your body will find me across the room. Suddenly in bloom. Your warmth is like the sun. If armageddon comes, I want to hold your hand, making out as our last stand. I can accept we’re doomed, as long as I’m with you. You’re impossible to ignore. I’d do anything to be yours.

Equine 02:11
Oh how it glows. When you’re far from home. Returning to the nest, I’ve made for myself. Friends align to find shelter, knowing their friendship makes things better. Rolling away the days with you. No matter how short lived this is, I’m still perplexed by how good it is.

Shaumburger 02:28
All I ever really wanted was a little bit of earth, some dirt, and worms. For what it’s worth, my emotions don’t compel me to coerce, compete with, or control your soul. Shockwaves, compound, mind meld. Always, around and round.
17.
Holding outstretched forearms and fingers, hoping to catch your heart when it beats near. Lonely no more, thanks to your ears, only comfort awaits. I’m looking, my heads up, I’m squinting hard to see, you’re walking on this planet, I know it’s hard to believe. Time can only stop us for so long before we meet.
18.
Don’t let your worries consume you. Just let it all hang out. Too bad you’re bad at saying anything. Tell me what’s that about? Call me up, write me back, how can we explore, where we overlap? You want something, or you don’t. But how am I supposed to know? Either whispers or nothing at all, come on don’t be lazy, come on take control. Hold yourself accountable. If you want me to reciprocate, I need you to reply, please don’t make me wait. I know you’re busy, I know you’re shy, I know you’re anxious and you don’t know why, but try, try, try. Call me up, write me back. How we can explore where we overlap. I know you’re busy, I know you’re shy, I know you’re anxious and you don’t know why, but try, try try.

On the search again, for motivation. Why do I need anything? Nothing to prove, I’m here. Isn’t that enough?
