thinking in my room today
no other plans
dear accidents- you’ve made this mess in my head
i’m gonna sink in my room today
no other plans
oh, accidents...
i’m sick of thoughts- they’re sick, they’re cryptic
i think in spades
i fail in me- hear, speak in me
language of guess
wishing in my head today
i can never make plans
oh, honesty-
pseudo heart, pseudo skin so fake
i’ve gotta change
i’ve gotta change
deep, deep, deep in self hate
this humility doll has a problem it can’t shake

unreleased track from 2010 that is on the new kyber comp
weird canada review:
From the monomythic archways of Alison Lang:
Halifax’s most endearing/enduring art space, the Khyber, has once again been feted with a compilation of tape tunes from local artists and musicians, most of whom have played/jammed/come of age under the archways, the ballroom, the turret. As with last year’s comp, this is a love letter to something fragile and beautiful and important – moreover, it’s massive (27 songs!), thoughtfully curated and brilliant. There are so many meaty, gorgeous gems here – Monomyth‘s “Anytime” is soaring sweetgaze, while scene vets Scribbler reach achingly fuzzed-out heights with “No Curtains.” The winsome youngsters of ISBN donate a slice of grainy, brainy twang-pop and there are similarly tasty outings from the now-defunct Long Long Long and its ashes, Each Other, risen in Montreal to smile and destroy. There’s a ripper Dog Day track too, and a song from local supergroup Green and Darnelle that nods at the city’s 90′s ghosts and then gnashes them to shreds. Look, I could go on for fucking pages about this tape, I really could, but in the end, I’ll leave with some words from a particular standout, the haunting lament “Wind Came Through” by Former Roommates (who, I think, actually are former roommates): The Khyber needs your love, always, and these songs do too. Listen and linger: this is a sound of a scene piled with riches.
