I start before you pick up. I'm asking for permission
To record some songs about us. To recall some things that happened
You offered a helpful context, "it didn't take place on an island"
I say, "you need to separate the ill from the illness"
You tell me, "it's not so simple. Depression is part and parcel"
and you're sick to death of cures for you as a person
I say, "that's probably truth. But I could've used some clues
long before I got invested." You reply, "I telegraphed it."
Daily tears since I met you, and that's not a romantic gesture.
True mess, that's my nature. And I guess that's what thrilled you.
You wanted it until it bit you. Then you ran like it chased you."
I say, "I have a nature too."
And you end with, "yes, I know."
Sickness excites. Until it's close enough to bite.
There's distinct appeal. Until you're beneath its wheels.
A true attraction. Until what comes after.

A friend with a reliably fine musical taste posted this album on FB and I wasn't disappointed. Love the guitar sound and the passionate vocals (melodic enough to not pass as screamo or whatever). Punk rock spirit yet with a lot of dynamics (definitely a yes to the Dischord reference) and compact songs that won't leave your head for a long time. Many many
great tunes on here but for the moment USMA and Lay Low have to be my favorites! Great band, very happy to have found them! perpendikel
Heady hardcore punk from Black Aubergine has groove, heft, and an experimental edge percolating behind the blown-out surface. Bandcamp New & Notable May 23, 2023
