lyrics
When the world got full
Of bright wet grey days
And our smiles tumbled stairwise
Like a clumsy child
And our tears fell like glass
Through old honey
And our fingers laid to rust
They were laced with white mold
And all the flowers that we picked
Were just snakes of light
Reflected off suburban rain puddles
And then someone shouted “sleep!”
She was full of claustrophobic
And all the world went monochrome
With ice-colored glitter
Now suspicions could solve themselves
In the fissure of sweaters
With moons trembling in her window canyons
Trembling, snow in my hair
Gutless, don’t be afraid...
She says our bodies mold by thirty...
And no plans could attack our bones
See, we were too sleepy to die

Getting to hear Emily Haines sing Anthems live is always a treasured memory. This has been my favourite record for 15 years and I can’t wait to see the Toronto anniversary show in December. Much love from a long time fan! devgen92
Effervescent pop without a drop of irony, perfectly geared for fans of the more dance-oriented side of indie music and Tears for Fears. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 2, 2023
Spacious, psych-tinged indie rock from Philly; painting in blurry watercolors (but not without percussive headiness). Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 16, 2016
