There was a crispness in the air that night
Street lights leaking through the window
Like as a child getting off a plane
Strange sense of newness to the family place
You cross the room like you’re in a ballet
Took my hand, it’s nice to meet you
I hold this strangeness in my memory
Abstract bodies, did we kiss that day?
There was some evil in the dressing room
Hummus, IPA, band stickers
A sense of threat was in the air that day
So much baggage between the band mates
A little anger as we crossed the stage
Did dontuomo on the family
It’s not so simple, chosen family
Each one bringing some new shit to play
To meet there in a ballet
To meet there in a ballet
Where we dance away
To meet there in a ballet
To meet
To meet there in a ballet
To meet there in a ballet
Where we dance away

"deep in the swirling space, where my body and the world collide" Incredible, fraught, deep, challenging music from Gabby. I loved working on this album!! Also, I co-produced it :) Bellows
Bad Moves is a very melody-centered and full of life punk band. I really love this record and you will too! lots of wacky moments of playful guitar stuff and really exciting songs. One Thing is my fav Bellows
Point the Flashlight and Walk is my favorite thing Felix has made. It has a ton of wisdom about devotion and how love changes after relationships end. I learned a lot from this record. Bellows
Despite its themes of isolation and loneliness, Caroline White's latest batch of folk-pop confessionals is an LP brimming with confidence. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 7, 2019
