lyrics
We’re Diggin Up Hatchets today
and sharpening the blades
in case, a stitch of hope remains
in this hell that we’ve raised
Hey! We’re witnessing the waking of the dead
we’ll ripping all the wires from our heads
we’re pumping all the poison from our veins
and scrubbing out these wicked stains
We’re burying mercy and grace
in unmarked shallow graves
Today, the piper must be be paid
for the tune that he played
Let us pause and be thankful for this evening
and the fact that we are breathing
maybe living has a meaning after all
there’s a plan for us lunatics and liars
we have faulty gears and wires
they can’t save us but they’ll do the best they can

Hopscotching from jangle pop and post-hardcore to math rock and shoegaze, these Minnesota rockers have a gift for musical multitasking. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 29, 2024
Effervescent pop without a drop of irony, perfectly geared for fans of the more dance-oriented side of indie music and Tears for Fears. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 2, 2023

This is the most beautiful, moving, exhilarating and obsessive album I’ve heard for years. It made me laugh, cry and want to run to the forest all at once! natalieofnature
