Of interesting note: The lyrics "Climbing the Ivy" pays homage to my childhood friend John Ivey of Chicago, Illinois, who founded Chicago fashion brand "Ivey League Brand" www.iveyleaguebrand.com
lyrics
Some nights I wish I hadn't pulled in—I wish I had just crashed. It'd be a lie if I said I never woke—my face melted on the dash. Dexy, tobacco, and Red Bull and beer and I'm fucking myself. Sooner or later, we'll be able to enjoy our death. Climbing the ivy, I'll suffer any pain, to drink hot energy drinks, in the cruel, cool summer. Hot energy drinks in the cruel, cool summer.
Addiction, never leave my brainstem. Exhaustion always in my eyes. Hot energy drinks in the cruel, cool summer. Fuck Port Edward’s.
I have a huge appreciation for texture, and sonic texture. This record's lo-fi is something so well felt, it's brilliant. I can't get over the one chord structured song, "How I spent my Summer." Heccra

Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu
