lyrics

Well, I'd rather
Tie a kite
To a flagpole
And watch it float around
Nowhere
And wait for
It to come around
Would you do it if I was faithful?

Where should I stay?
Where should I go?
Where's the wind blow?
Should I sit still and be
Grateful
That your constance
Won't shift with changing seasons?

I want to feel it in my ribs
Want you to kick me in my chest
Like fire shut up in my bones
You burn me out when I confess

(Hildreth/Bowers)

VI: Flora
by Botanist

Really puts the "hammer" in hammered dulcimer. Meditative, droning, misanthropic black metal with an unusual instrument at the center of it all. The Camellias

Sprained Ankle
by Julien Baker

Direct, confessional, bracing. Listen to Julien. The Camellias

W - Part One
by GARDNSOUND

Gardner's main project. It's like Trent Reznor discovering chillwave. Blissful and eclectic. The Camellias
