Agent K Not Sure why this is being missed among the Bandcamp Shoegazer & DreamPop Core.
The Rob Dickinson-like Vocals might be more of an acquired taste these days perhaps.....but the music is "straight up" classic & timeless 90's Creation Records Bliss.
Bri's ethereal vocals provide a nice counter balance on 5 of the "softer" tracks.
I mean Simon Scott (Slowdive) even remixed 1 of the trax from this set.....C'mon now.........
Time to Step Up!
(NYP) STEAL! Favorite track: Emerald.

Sway 06:03
She sways like the ocean ripples in the breeze I swam inside her she pulled me underneath I tried to fight the current her tide is stronger than me She breaks my heart She weighs me down I keep on crawling back to her pain She is an angel with a broken wing She tries her best to fly her way to me She said she loved me but love is temporary She breaks my heart She weighs me down I keep on crawling back to my pain

Opium 03:51
Outside there's a poppy field that makes everything surreal gives me an ounce of relief even though the feeling is brief I will medicate myself in hopes to heal my mental health So once they blossom in my lawn you will not find me I'll be gone Waiting in my room for opium to bloom eradicate the gloom and mend my aching wounds Waiting in my room for opium to bloom I try to ease the pain but still I feel the same I wish this feeling would stay but no chemicals in my vein could ever nullify the pain I'm always gonna feel this way
4.
Vertigo 03:08
Pretty lies in your sweet red eyes and waves of scarlet wine through your mind in a world of vertigo, I've never known where to go, I've never had a place to hold. And you, you flow through me like rain I've gotten used to all your pain after this war you've made I'm still walking through the delay; knowing it can never change after the war you've made Still you, you will always be always hold that melody inside of me yeah, you brought me up you brought me up, brought me up brought me up and broke me down down again, you broke me down. Bring me up, bleed me out Bring me up, break me down.

Shine 03:47
tell me why you left behind your smiling face your shining light tell me why you passed on by and gave up on your precious life I wish I was by your side when all your hopes and dreams had died I would try to change your mind and show you the beauty in life in my heart deep inside no matter how hard I try you won't die memories are bittersweet for you cannot share them with me my heart still beats on for you you live in me you're burning through in my heart deep inside you live on for all time you still shine

Wave Spell 03:32
Why do I feel so far apart, Where do I start? When you swim into my room, you rip right through everything I do. But I swear I'll never speak I will set every alarm, get lost inside your arms In disordered stars But if, if i let this go now would that make you stay? What is this in my way?
7.
Pull Away 03:09
When I'm moving towards you you pull away and I don't want to hear it from you I don't want to go there with you I'll pull away. Why I am here, I am in a room I have never made a sound When I'm moving towards you You pull away
8.
Your Bedroom 02:30
I open up your bedroom door needles are spread across the floor I call your name you do not wake my heart sinks low I start to shake since you've moved out of your room it's become a cold and empty womb that is harboring the sight of death memories are all that I have left your arms stretched out your head hits glass your lover screams she says come back your lips are blue your skin turned grey there is no pulse you've gone away since you've moved out of your room it's become a cold and empty womb that is harboring the smell of death your blood stains remain on the blankets
9.
Luna 03:26
In every shade of blue I will love you Like a crescent moon I will hang onto you Onto you With your voice like propane a sweet fire to my veins and your touch like Novocain numb me from my pain and you're something I've dreamed of a feeling I've never touched I'm drunk with your beauty I'm dizzy in your embrace In outer space I've found my place In outer space with you
10.
Emerald 02:39
slip into my room and melt into my bed actions speak louder than words we've ever said words alone are not enough for someone to express their love we dim the lights and then we slowly get undressed and we begin to feast upon each other's flesh you're the rose I'm the thorns you're everything that I adore you hover gracefully above my beating heart its poetry in motion a gorgeous work of art pull me close hold me tight I'll drift inside of you tonight I love it when you're laying naked next to me I swear I've never been this close to ecstasy our love shines like the stars that dance above the broken homes

Low 07:22
All this time is not passing at all I'm waking underneath of something you can't see. Why do you keep asking me all these things? I don't know, besides, I'm caving in beneath. When I've found a place where the sky goes red and my dreams are dead and my skin has bled on the words I have said to you, I'll take it back. It's like I could disappear when you're near. Hang up, and pull around, down and out. I'll sink into your skin, from the outside in There's a line so thin, when will it break again? Tomorrow is not real in the space of you can you make it true, will it laugh or will it lose? When I've found a place where the sky goes red and my dreams are dead and my skin has bled on the words I have said to you, I'll take it back. It's like I could disappear when you're near. Hang up, and pull around, down and out. Your voice, worn out and sore, sore and worn. why do you take me here? far and near

about

"To have made modern, mollifying dreampop out of death and depression is no mean feat." - The Big Takeover

"Drawing on the liquid sound shoegaze tones of 90s bands like Catherine Wheel and Slowdive, as well as current torch bearers like Wild Pink, the band’s Solace LP is 11 tracks of expansive bliss." - WXPN 88.5/The Key


"It’s a collection of very dreamy, ambient, atmospheric songs, but those songs still have a strong sense of melody." - Speak Into My Goodeye


"This is an album evoking a strong sense of natural surroundings, of muted sunlight trying to break way through heavy clouds, or of mirror-like reflection upon dark sapphire bodies of water. " - Somewherecold
