salty kisses 03:05
what do we do when our legs are crumbling down from paranoia as deep as the ocean wave after wave crashes upon me 21st century problems never given a chance what's in my heart but coldness and contempt i swear i'm not what they think i am
2.
memories of scattered brains coffee mugs and innocence trying and failing to make sense four or five years made no difference then these saturdays might be everything someday grey clouds above trees of orange and red gaze at me our youthful adventures before life began are not any longer our youthful adventures are not any longer why can't these things sort themselves out why can't i learn to be myself why can't these things just sort themselves out

old problems 00:52
caroline, i feel sometimes that i've taken you for granted. my eyes swell up with tears. the truth is, i feel like i haven't been at my best. but i swear that i'm trying. for you i'd give my life. "she looked so womanly. like a work of art that was exclusive to me only. i looked at her face and pictured my future."

OGR-015 /// Calendar Year - a life (NITE) cycle

We are beyond excited to announce our next release is a re-issue for Calendar Year's fifth wave emo staple/masterpiece "a life cycle". We are putting the album back onto cassette with two (2) seperate variants that includes updated artwork by Austin Ryder plus the re-mixed version of the album "A NITE CYCLE" appears on the B-Side!

calendar-year.bandcamp.com/album/a-life-cycle


"Indiana trio Lights Strung Like Stars already push the limits of acceptable sound quality, but even their demos sound high-fidelity compared to the solo material their guitarist Blake Mawhorter releases as Calendar Year. Composed in the patchwork style of Modest Mouse’s early cassette releases, his debut EP A Life Cycle is a shambolic sequence of ideas crammed end to end, ignoring the occasional flubbed note if it means sharpening a song’s overall impact.

Opener “Salty Kisses” sputters into action, Mawhorter noodling sloppily before cranking up the distortion. Power chords oppress the mix, pinning percussion and tinny keys to the walls. This pump-faked intro is just preparation for the hairpin turns and curveballs placed strategically throughout the record. There’s a carnivalesque keyboard melody at the end of “So Goes My Life” that feels so out of place it’s genius, and bitcrushed drum machine on “Saturdays in October” helps blunt the abrasive force of Mawhorter’s screams." - daily.bandcamp.com/lists/bedroom-screamo-list?fbclid=PAAaZY6gHRsKsM4KaJtxkQ6uutG1lEogTrVgiWHMMCS0vEc5ZMrzMCqh97GZ0
