road trips 03:53
Feels like just another Case of looking different on the outside Hop in Let's drive to the school yard First day at the new one See how the summer has changed us It changes Oh but it barely changes at all Little stiff, a little awkward Wait it out, getting better Hop in Let's drive to SoCal Get a real burrito Get high like we used to It changes Oh but it barely changes at all Little stiff, a little awkward Raise the bar, see where it gets you Hop in Let's drive to Portland Be the real white liberals See where it all went down Hop in Let's drive to the city Let's wait in the traffic Pretend we have money [guitar solo] Hop in Let's drive to Nevada Across the acid desert Go crazy seeing the same thing It changes Oh but it barely changes at all Over time a little looser Every time with more eye bags Feels like just another Case of looking different on the outside

frontlines 03:26
Finally Everything's a little less green And the street gets this way Becomes a mirror some nights The same way Your face gets when it gets late See myself in every gesture 'Til I get up to leave Can't you tell Is it not obvious Well I'm on the frontlines of my own I'm on the frontlines all alone Can't you see Because it's obvious to me I'm on the frontlines of my own Sometimes it's nice to be alone And maybe We can find some space to breathe Leave the world for just a sec Just once feel something fresh Can't you tell Is it not obvious Well I'm on the frontlines of my own I'm on the frontlines all alone Can't you see Because it's obvious to me I'm on the frontlines of my own Sometimes it's nice to be alone

Remember when We first found Something in between us to hold To believe, to protect Our hearts and minds It felt so good And it seems like the feelings just won't leave I've never felt this way this long And it seems like the feelings just won't leave You can't stop kissing me just yet And it seems like the feelings just won't leave I've never felt this way this long And it seems like the feelings just won't leave You can't stop kissing me just yet

area code 03:56
Now I'm way back home I know right where to go And if you need me, just punch in my number No area code Saw you make my drink We used to sit and think I don't know who you are now But we got the same area code The older I get, the less I come home Doesn't that mean I'm doing well, the older I get? 'Cause what I'm feelin' Is that nobody knows where to put themselves So I'm not so alone Headed home this break Won't catch me at the lake But if see me, just walk up and say hi It's just better that way Oh and I Just started feeling safe And then I saw your name Started thinking maybe all the loose ends Will just stay untied

about

in a vague sense, this EP is a tribute to the absolute weirdness endured in the pursuit of being a person. in a more specific sense, it is about my experience leaving a small, supportive home town looking for something else, and what I've been able to find so far. enjoy.

recorded in various bedrooms and basements in Berkeley and Oakland, CA.

FFO: Frankie Cosmos, HOMESHAKE, Tame Impala, VARSITY, Ashley Eriksson, Pedro The Lion, Slow Pulp, Palehound
