train stop is wrestled to the ground & pinned down by the heat
the air's unruly as it threatens to crush the fragile street
train arrives later than expected
i board but it's too late
my head has swollen but it's empty
train stops, my head deflates
i can't believe the world around me
outside i feel you near
i'm wondering if our glance means something
you smile, it looks sincere
i'm wrapped up in a gauze that suffocates me
you give me fresh air
i'm waiting but i'm so impatient for the days sparked by somewhere
i feel my body in these clothes
my stomach's full of sand
& i've spent hours walking watching water embracing the land
i'm floating high above the city smog
i watch my summer crawl
at last the heat wave passes & the cool air brings me down so i can be again
Dizzying psychedelic songs that feel like they're being played at the bottom of a deep canyon, drenched in reverb & echo. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 11, 2022
The latest EP from U.K. experimentalist Charlotte Valentine is disconcerting and fascinating, pop broken down and warped. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 9, 2019
