You were shot down for banging on sidewalks
Waking up sovereign states
Raking up graves and wasting your common grace
Creatures outside were posting your face up
Dreaming up shadow plays
If you could straighten that spine you got a way to decide your fate
Instead of breaking your silence you could be the same way
And keep your favors to yourself but
They could see in your eyes there's not a thing they could say so
Holding on tight to places you remember keeping your story straight
Taking your time with friends you invite to your wake
You’re so tired of waking up shaking facing your passing days
Rolling in circles hoping the fever would break
Instead of breaking your word, you can pay to make sure
They never back the train up, but
They can read in your mind you got a reason to stay

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
