Awkward and thin in all the wrong places
Painfully shy with bright, shiny braces
Maddening crushes that have no basis
Tall girls and short boys with little girl faces,
But it feels like love
And it’s the first time your heart is beating
First time it bears repeating
Oh, and it feels like love,
Because you’re thirteen years old and you’re just
waiting for it all to start.
And you made this mixtape
Hours by the radio
Catching all the songs as they come and go.
It’s not just a mixtape - it’s your heart and it’s your soul
In other people’s words from the radio.
Hope springs eternal behind those thick glasses
Hearts and initials on desks in your classes
Stare at your sneakers when your crush passes
Everyone races to grow up the fastest.

Found out about this man through a chiptune set on youtube where he was using two gameboys. Loved him ever since. Probably my favorite chiptune artist. Scottkole
Twitchy, effects-heavy post-punk grooves give way to psychedelic surf-rock delirium on the Toronto quartet's dreamy-yet-doomy second LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 25, 2024
This release makes for an expressive and varied trip through various rock subgenres, and deservedly sounds more like a pure rock album - to call this release "chip rock" seems unnecessarily reductive and dismissive of its more universal musical appeal. Was always impressed by how huge and symphonic everything sounds in the mix. bryface international music concern
