eyes open, chest filled with fate
the sun was especially burnt out
and it was 3 weeks until darkest still
where went all of our innocence?
does this break your heart?
and I built a home, in your flesh and bones
but it still didn't still me.
but I swear this time, your love will be remembered
A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
Toronto band Respire deliver a post-hardcore tour de force on the largest scale possible, orchestrally rich and incessantly uncompromising. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 6, 2021
Very chill, but deceptively technical post metal full of imagery and feeling. I listen to this album and I picture myself as one of the people on the cover. I feel the cold wind as I pull my jacket tighter. The ocean mist hits my face with the smell of fish and salt. The boat rises and falls with each wave. I would liken it a bit to Altar of Plagues.
