lyrics
Why should I ever have to explain myself or my body or anything?
I know what I am. I know how it is. I just...
I just can't take the look on your face.
After I've said it, you said everything.
Without even speaking, you said everything.
I know what I am. I know how it is.
I just thought it would be different at the end.
It's not the end. It’s not the end.
But I can't help it, it feels like it is.
You said everything. You said everything.
I guess I'm not upset, just disappointed that I expected anything
less from you. ‘Cause now I know that means
that I don't even see myself all that accurately.
And my broken sense of self is further fragmenting.
I think I know the answer, but I don't know the steps.
And I don't know the order.
I just know that I don't want to stay.
I don't want to stay.
I don't know if I can keep up.
I don't know if I can keep up with this.
Just hold my hand the whole way through this.
I know what I am. I know how it is. I just...
I just can't take the look on your face.
After I've said it, you said everything.
Without even speaking, you said everything.
I know what I am. I know how it is.
I just thought it would be different at the end.
It's not the end. It’s not the end.
But I can't help it, it feels like it is.
You said everything. You said everything.
I guess I'm not upset, just disappointed that I expected anything
less from you. ‘Cause now I know that means
that I don't even see myself all that accurately.
And my broken sense of self is further fragmenting.
I think I know the answer, but I don't know the steps.
And I don't know the order.
I just know that I don't want to stay.
I don't want to stay.
I don't know if I can keep up.
I don't know if I can keep up with this.
Just hold my hand the whole way through this.

Just inspiring combination of emo-jazz in its purest form. Lyrically it goes over interesting ideas of multiculturalism, parental issues and generational trauma in some of the best ways I've heard in a while. All of the instrumental sections are just beautiful and both singers are outstanding. My favorite moments are probably the almost-yelling section halfway through "I'm From Here" and the horn sections on "Quirk".

This album came at just the right time. I think they're my new apex for mathrock/emo/indie expressionism since Minus the Bear is no longer together. I am so glad I ran across this group. All songs are bangers. Their music is catchy and resonates on a spiritual level for me. Frankly, there's no comparison and nothing else quite like it that I have found. Amazing...thank you for your service and talents, gents...it is thoroughly appreciated. :) <3 <3 <3

Kansas City trio Flooding draw out the more mystical qualities of slowcore and noise rock for a heavy sound that's less stony than doom.

Fans of Polvo, take note! The excellent Kansas City band Abandoncy has the same fondness for corkscrewing riffs & melodies. It’s great!

Classic emo sing-a-longs trade blows with tormented post-hardcore passages on the Brooklyn outfit's powerful sophomore LP.
