Wouldn't it be something if all of your predictions were right
Getting your attention is too easy a thing to achieve
Twenty-five years is longer than it took to decide
And so I won't
Make that choice again
Cuz it won't mean so much if I edit what I say
Holding on tight to feelings that could never come true
Was it really worth the pain that you would put yourself through
Holding back tears is all that you could do to survive
And so I won't
Risk it all again
Cuz it would mean so much to see this to the end
And so I won't
Risk it all again
Cuz it won't mean so much if I edit what I say
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
