Woke up in the night with a false
sense of dread
It’s so lonely in here, can’t get
Out of my own head
So I peer through the window for
that sweet validation
Mother shine your moonlight in
Cuz my tides need turning
Went out to the restaurant
Had myself a mouthful
The taste wasn’t right, the
servants looking awful
But I’ll swallow it down with a
smile for that sweet validation
Beaming like a proud father’s love
So simple and empty
In a world as it stands
Chipping away at our replica
Tender and unaware we
Stretch our infantile arm
I’m feeling nausea all over the phone
Feeling kinda seasick and alone
Tossing coins into the font
Raindrop down the webbing wire
Hoping this one draws a grin
Cuz the scene here’s feelin' dire
I’m feeling like I’m losing the plot now
Floral in bouquet tied in satin, fraying everywhere
I’m feeling like we already wrote this one
One million times before

Dark synthpop/darkwave that succeeds mightily in crafting compelling moods and movements with brilliant songwriting. At times there’s almost an alt-rock vibe, but overall the sound makes me think of some of the darker and more somber Duran Duran songs.
That said, I could have done without the admittedly and thankfully infrequent usage of autotune on the vocals. Lute FP
Consummate pop songwriting both smart and smooth, with the ability to resonate universally without compromising uniqueness. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2017
