Keith Porteous (they/em) these songs feel very seasoned in a way that they place themselves at home even in their first listen. The elaborate sounding production in the closing track reaches deep into new heart strings making for something loud and breathtaking while not forgetting to deliver a delicate journey to the ears. Furthermore, guitar tones of tracks like "You Should Be Smiling" offer something to the likes of if Snail Mail & Peach Pit raised a child. Favorite track: Last Call.

    'Being Alone’ is a coming of age record that has been brewing for the past two years. I’d like to think it strikes a balance between eternal optimism and pure devastation, a sentiment that people can either relate or sympathise with.

Being Alone 04:18
Fall into a pattern of a ghost waking in the night time feeling alone but nobody noticed Wrapped up in sheets but half of them are cold I moved my bed so the sun couldn't reach it anymore He wrecked my favourite clothes stretched and warped from where he tore them off of my body he's not gentle with my body so I place toothpaste around my neck and old wivestale to get rid of bruises that nobody uses He told me what to do with my body I should have told him it was my f**king body he has to ask to use it So will you pay for my hormones I need a lethal dose and I’ll cry when i get home feel I did something wrong I don't like being alone and i don't like being in your home I think about as i'm growing older do we not feel guilty any longer because I feel like i used to and i feel like im used too Reparations or repercussion do you not feel entitled to any of it because i feel like i used to and i feel like i’m used too because i feel like i used to and i feel like i'm used too

Big Pop 03:58
Walking around these old empty streets do they feel incomplete got a better life in mind Are you satisfied with what's behind you never looking to far forward I would hate to forge a path for you to follow It becomes clear that I don't want you hear anymore It becomes clear I could probably make you go away We talk about presenting other people as options but I prefer to call bullshit on transactional relationships What’s the point in living if you're living like a dog playing games of catch and fetch I’ll pick it up tomorrow It becomes clear that i don't want you hear anymore It becomes clear that i could probably make you go away

Somethings got to give but i don't know what it is I'm moving slowly but I’m moving at full speed I laid a plan for somebody like me to step into but I haven't found my feet No I haven’t found my feet I hate to ask but do you know somebody who would fit my clothes maybe they could step into my bedroom maybe they could move into my head soon ain't it lucky everybody’s doing it ain't it lucky no one expects you no one expects you no one expects you to follow through It's not like I've been keeping time and my thoughts aren't so undivided i try to keep it happy on the inside always on the inside ain't it lucky everybody’s doing it ain't it lucky no one expects you no one expects you no one expects you to follow through ain't it lucky now ain't it lucky now no one expects you no one expects you no one expects you no one expects you no one expects you no one expects you to follow through

Dream of Me 02:54
Dream of me i'm everything in your eyes I'm alive It's nice to know you think of me in your eyes She's been on my mind all summer long I thought that we’d survive i guess we were wrong Holding on to tight you’ve got to let her go or we won't survive Never liked the beach sand in all my things but if I'm in your arms i'm guessing I'll be clam Never liked swimwear don't like to compare but if I look good in your eyes i'm guessing I'll be fine She's been on my mind all summer long I thought that we’d survive i guess we were wrong Holding on to tight you’ve got to let her go or we won't survive It’s getting closer to when I will be leaving but you still thought that we could just jump right in guess I thought that I was never worth it and I know that you didn't deserve this I often sit and think about you and all the things we never should have been through and I know that you didn't deserve this and I know She's been on my mind all summer long

Last Call 05:20
Motion tired into the night it's been four whiles since the last Keep your breath tied to your tongue Keep your words and where they came from I've got time for intertwining but it's grasping for life I've got time for unwinding lets hold for the night But could we hold for a second till the last call and let us hold for a second till the last call She's not tired of understanding she's tired for the cause She’s not tired of where i'm standing not enough weight to punch down walls But could we hold for a second till the last call and let us hold for a second till the last call But if you hold for a second then you hold for a whole lot of hurt and if you hold for a second let you sink on what your worth Hold on But could we hold for a second till the last call can we hold for a second till the last call Let us hold for a second till the last call can we hold for a second till the last call
