My two favorite tracks off the EP on a natural colored vinyl (Black ones pictured here are the test pressings :) )
Side 1: Sever Ties ; Side 2: Just For Sport
Sultry, sad, and very lush.

lyrics

Sever ties with ungiving
Sever ties with ungiving

Spread your love beyond its means
So I might die
Feed me fruit as the fires burn
So you can cry

And I'll caramelize your tears
And we'll crystalize our fear

Lover hurry home from jobs
So we can sit
And sink our teeth
Through crusts of bread
Into the marrow

Sever ties with ungiving
Sever ties with ungiving

Share our worries at the table
Round as the moon
And fruitful as a womb

Isn't it funny, these words don't bring us money
But the carry us through
Our doubts deep blue

Sever ties with ungiving
Sever ties with ungiving

Best to bed now
Warm in the red light
This place is forgiving

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
