I was around when the bridge got burned
I take a lesson but I never learn
And I walk my way
And I don’t look back
And they say it’s not that bad man
But I think I’m running out of ways to believe that
So I took apart my television
I’d come to think I need a bigger one
When I look back now
Had we lost our heads
You could tell I'm slipping backwards
By the way I could not understand what the man said
You were never there
When I was a beaten broken person
Knocking at your door
I took you for a better friend
But I've been wrong before
I recommend what the old man said
You gotta do it if you want to get ahead
But if you want to get a heart you got to give yours to me
And I think I’m slipping backwards
So you can’t tell me to be there if you won’t be
You were never there
When I was a beaten broken person
Knocking at your door
I took you for a better friend
But I've been wrong before

As far as indie albums in the 2010's and beyond go, this is one of the most cohesive and emotive albums I've experienced looking back on it and is Jay Som's best album tokyonoir

Absolutely brilliant, dreamy indie folk-rock. Most of the songs are somewhere between two and three minutes but feel as though they last a lifetime (in a good way). Beautifully heart-wrenching from beginning to end. Kirk Gauthier
The Seoul-based indie pop duo lean deeper into the interplay between dance and emotion on their second album for Beeline Records. Bandcamp Album of the Day Aug 31, 2023

I’ve known of STRFKR since around the time this album was originally released (2012 or 2013, most likely). That said, it’s taken me until now (February 10, 2023) to listen to STRFKR. And allow me to say this is something I somewhat regret. This album reminds me a lot of MGMT’s “Oracular Spectacular” but less polished. There’s an earnestness to these songs that is undeniable, and it’s a helluva lot of fun. If electro rock is your cup of tea, bring an empty cup; STRFKR’s gonna make sure it’s full. Kirk Gauthier
