about

this is a collection of songs written within the last months of my 19th year- february-april of 2020. all together, they're about wanting to live, not wanting to do that, conversations with friends, losing a love, my human cadaver lab, and of course qu*rantine. together they kind of burst out, after not being able to write music for 8 months. i think realizing that it had been that long was when i knew something was really wrong. i stopped doing my homework, i started getting out of bed, and i sat by my desk and began writing these songs that i thought i'd probably not share (also a reason for how unpolished and out of key some of them are). they came out like they belonged together, some of them are sisters, some are twins. they share a lot of the same stories.

my mom referred to our old house as an albatross the other day. not in the cursed, stroke of bad luck kind of way, but in the way that there was always work to be done, always something hanging over your head. someone said that an actual albatross (a bird) following your ship is good luck, but shooting at it was what curses you.
sometimes music kind of feels like a jumbo glowing albatross, like theres always a million things on my list that i want to do, songs i want to give more love to, songs i want to start writing with the rest of the band. sometimes it really hangs over my head because like anyone else i want my art to exist in the exact way i imagine it in my brain, but really thats not how it works. mostly though its an excited feeling, theres always enough to do that i know song writings gonna be with me for the rest of my life. so this release is just my way of not shooting the bird, and creating a moment peace amongst my list of shit to do.

the general theme of this EP is that shit happens, and its gonna hurt, and sometimes everything hurts, but you have to get out of your fucking bed or you're gonna fuck everything else up worse. but im doing a little better these days and thank you if you listen.
