lyrics

There's a cool breeze on Rue Parthenais ma Cheri which means I can't sit with my back to the window while peeling my clementines which means waking up with lip flesh peeking from its hand-me-down enclosure I reward myself over and over ma Cheri by pressing knees into lonesome orbit clattering buttons and their beloved gashes the cold fell me to sleep actually on Rue Parthenais the smell of sun on a wooden porch is all that could have awoken me

Pry open my lips still and stinging place two gold coins beneath my tongue in the pure dark here it's all pins and needles and sleds like stretchers rushing through the park tiny corpses marionette jolts sirens ma Cheri grant me horse fly wings and snow carcasses I'll strain to hover above it all living in the city it's like skipping in a dream living in the city it's like death came early this year ma Cheri? she wink called me even though I chose to ignore a speck of silver on the grubby floor Ah! the one-eyed cold you poor rotund only getting stiffer forever cadaver dragged through goosebump streets flower vibrations dan ma levre my freckles fading looks like I've been in here five days in here five days five scarlet freckles on the inside of my white tee with the navy rings damn

The great underlying instrumentation paired with Florence's droll stream of consciousness lyrics make this album stand out. It feels so personal and confessional. Favorite tracks are Strong Feelings and Leafy. I've heard Scratchard Lanyard on alt radio and love that one as well. tofupotpie

Anti-Anxiety Exercises is a testament to Canadian socialized medicine. If this were US punk, it wouldn't be nearly as healthy an exercise. naataq

This taut, punchy 2015 anarcho-punk EP from Istanbul's Ugly Shadows gets a worthy cassette re-release through A World Divided. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 21, 2021

I don't hear a lot of this kind of music, gives me ,loose Sonic Youth vibes. Everything about it is cool, like too cool for school cool. I want to skip class and spray paint an alley with these people. Kyle Zarnoch
