The EP starts off with the track "Meeting," an old song off the Summer Demo re-recorded and sounding much better than it's predecessor. A great track to kick off the album, with depressive lyrics sung in a desperate, poem style manner reminiscent of La Dispute and Victor! Fix the Sun. Then the song "Sergue" starts up. The song begins immediately with with feelings of being lost, scared, and overwhelmed with thought, being bombarded with emotions and feelings, but never talking about it and being quite and conserved for years. The feeling of slowly speaking your thoughts to people you feel were open-minded friends, but just up and leave as soon as they can. A feeling of always being alone with your thoughts which is followed by "K____n." This beautiful piece of instrumental music is a perfect break between mixed emotions and desperate vocals to a calming and soothing song to rest the mind. It's a nice track to keep you grounded in the album. What follows, though, is anything but relaxing and soothing. The last song to finish off the album is "Nostalgical," a track of losing friends and going separate ways. Of growing up and getting old. Imagery of working 9-to-5 jobs for money to raise a family and have a home. While you hold on to the fun times and try to live life to the most it can be, everyone has grounded themselves and are working on getting cars and security systems, further dividing your friendships.
This is a goddamn beautiful and depressive album, very bitter sweet. You can check out their Bandcamp, Tumblr and Facebook page in the links below. If you like them, buy an some of their stuff, go to their shows, and support them as much as you can. Hope you enjoy and happy listening!
