holy holler, in the water
salt and sand erodes your blistered feet
holy holler, what a daughter
leave her breathing underneath the shallow sea
oxygen is running thin
the icicles grow back here on shore
coming out for the day
you brought no blanket for us to lay upon
said your home was the sea
did you mean to say me
do you mean to say with medicine
and everything else you put inside my pocket
I’m not better now
nothing figured out
I’m not better now

This is potentially the greatest dreampop record of the 2010s. Combining bold, memorable melodies, varied and textured music, and emotionally breathtaking lyrics, Psychopomp will be remembered for many decades to come and has an unforgettable place in the heart of anybody who knows it. Devin Passage
Lost track of these guys for a couple years, then saw the Tiny Desk concert come up in my feed. I've had the album on loop on Spotify since Friday.
This song in particular has been stuck in my head all afternoon. quiksilv26
