Name: Half a Gulf
Duration: P00H03M38S
Description: When James and I finally started jamming together again after like, 5 years, we wrote a bunch of aimless guitar licks trying to re-figure out how songwriting works. The one that opens this song is the first one that stuck, and I think we ended up writing the whole thing pretty quickly thereafter. It's about dysphoria and Chicago, which were my primary concerns both then and now.

lyrics

Stuck in a home where I can't see the water
Stuck in a home where I can't leave the room
Looking to find an ice cube to bite on
Hear it crack under every chew

Stuck in a frame where the fat eats the denim
Stuck in a frame where the pores need to burn
Looking to find some bone in the tissue
Hear it crack under every chew

Try to break this body but I can't feel above my skirt
I hope there's something better to consider
Nailing down the window
A cage doesn't have to be that big
It just has to be bigger
than you

lo-fi beats to hype yourself up and realize between track six and seven that no one you look up to is better than you are to turboprop-puppy

This Toronto group's sound unabashedly hearkens back to the bouncy indiepop of the Darling Buds and the Primitives. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 11, 2019

The Seams' jangly pop is full of lovely melodic twists and elegant turns-of-phrases delineating the quotidian details of love and romance. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2018

When I listen to this (or any album by the garages, really) I just melt into the music and can forget how futile existence is for a while. Play on, blaseball players, and play on, garages! loktaigreywolf
