somoso This album really sets me at ease, it's like an audio massage. This album came at a perfect time. Favorite track: Sunday.

Alpha Chrome Yayo Saturated in saw wave synths that'll warm every fibre of your heartstrings, and liberally laced with incredibly beautiful vocal harmony mantras, Kintsugi is the present to yourself you deserve.

Named after the Japanese practice of joining broken pottery with powdered gold feels so apt; this is a record that celebrates its scars.

Chiaroscuro interplay of light and shadow abounds, and while there is plenty of darkness it's an album that feels overwhelmingly, cathartically kind.

Treat yourself. Favorite track: Patience.

I could have gone with her but I chose to stay with you

Stop, just stop, what you're saying now Your words are just baseless declarations of intent Lies, these lies, we tell ourselves Harm spreads like snakes born from synthetic malcontent And I feel everything intensely, as you say. But how can you feel any other way? Devoid of emotion, behaviour is unkind A symptom of a rotten and malignant mind Stop just stop just stop just stop... Words are just empty shells to you but not to me You said those words, I trusted you Shame on me

Patience 06:31
A cannon gave your secret away A photo by the sea Waiting for these weeks to pass Perpetuity A cannon gave your secret away I'm walking out of need Absolution follows you No matter the deed Anger gave your secrets away Phone calls just at dawn Vows that you will never keep One of us is wrong (Repeats)

Caught Out 06:34
You've been caught out for the final time Each brick cracks revealing every lie And I can't stay awake And I can't stay awake I have seen it with my own eyes Hibernation can't be your disguise And I can't stay awake And I can't stay awake All my demons crowd around my bed Friends and lovers, family in my head And I can't get to sleep And I can't stay asleep There's not a single consequence You'll not be held to account There's not a single consequence You'll not be held to account
