You can’t find the real thing
That’s your favorite thing to say
I listen to how you talk
And the words that you thought you couldn’t save
You shout out the first thing
That I thought you’d understate
It’s a lesson in how you caught
All the friends you run across and interchange
Outside of friends who don’t remember your name
There’s not a single one
It’s good to fantasize on the things you’d say
You’re not a friend at all
You’re making a big show
Of a tiny fiction
They may not believe you
But don’t be afraid
Now that I gave you what you wanted
They may not trust you
But that’s the price you pay
You faded into darkness
You shout out the first thing
That I thought you’d understate
It’s a lesson in how you talk
And the words you run across and interchange
Outside of friends who won’t remember your name
There’s not a single one
It’s good to fantasize on the things you’d say
You’re not a friend at all
You faded into darkness
You’re making a big show
Of a tiny fiction
They may not believe you
But don’t be afraid
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
This album rips. I’ve passed on Japandroids for several years since discovering Polyvinyl Records, and I have to admit I regret that decision immensely. This album is fast, furious, and a LOT of fun. Kirk Gauthier
