half•alive — "back around"
great song, great album. this is the only thing I've ever heard that resembles the production on The Velvet Teen's "Cum Laude," particularly the synths and overblown bullhorn vocals on "gyzm kid." If it's not a direct reference, I'd be very surprised!
which track is, by the way, a tour de force:
Do the people you love still come greet you like you'd never left off? Or has your skin become too rough? Is it too hard to even keep in touch?
Yeah, i try my best, but when i can't
And i'm away, know you've all my love
In this sea turtle moment
To have and to hold
As our bodies burden
This returning torrent
it's fucked up that this album is approaching 20 years old
