about
Written by Owen Ashworth
lyrics
here comes the frost that freezes every year
shutter windows hang the Advent calendar
what are you doing on your own with frozen ears
I know we’re changing like the trees in Montpelier
you took a job that put you on the road
for days & weeks in motels’ sleepy TV glow
with static filtering through pay phones in the snow
it drowns your home by Christmases & love-you-sos
& all our promises come so easy
they fill distances til our next meeting
but you’re always off the phone
long before I’d prefer to be
& I know that we should get some money saved
I’ve felt the kicking growing in me every day
oh we’ll live fat & happy when you get home you will say
but I’d eat beans if you’d just stay
& all our promises are so fleeting
when all I really want is you close to me
but you were already out the door
by the time that occurred to me

as someone with a sort of shitty relationship with christmas, listening to advance base (particularly this album) as well as Owen's christmas specials have been my own little way of celebrating the season <3 tulpa toad
The Cleveland band temper uncompromising metalcore breakdowns with infectious jangle-pop melodies and ample dark humor.

Beautiful songwriting, less is so much more. I don't know how someone could make a record so catchy while also being heartbreaking in a fun way. rahlinrigsby
