You know lately I’m having trouble finding sleep
I just stay up at night watching bad TV with my records on repeat
I keep thinking of the mountains that I climbed as a kid
But I retired from the great outdoors when the British winter hit
I’ve never been a man of many words
I have trouble controlling my stutter and it’s only getting worse
So I have these paintings on my arm as a mark of permanence
For a picture says a thousand words so at least for now I’m set
We’ll find our way back home
Another night of fighting off the cold
There’s skeletons hidden under my bed
They moved out of the wardrobe long ago for a new place to rest their head
And it’s nice sometimes to feel I have company because most of the time I’m just so terribly lonely
From the first time I heard your voice in the halls of this house
I wanted to pull the walls down brick by brick just to let the silence out
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
