Guilt

Take the first breath
Then gasp for air
A joy remorseless
A selfish affair
Impurity
In the glass that we look through
Impair my vision by choice
It keeps my eyes from you
Some develop recurring nightmares
While others develop free will
Some develop the virtue of temperance
While others develop guilt
Crawling up my spine
Burrowing through the skin
Entering the bloodstream
Infecting my mind
Crawling up your spine
Burrowing through the skin
Entering the bloodstream
Infecting your mind

Gone away from the shell of a life
I had found myself wandering into
Behind glass I was frozen like time
In a memory you can't get away from
Killing time, we're all just killing time
Going out every night to feel fine
This chemical courage and positive lines
Against all of the things that we're trying to hide
I should have listened to you when you said
"Nothing will make this easier"
I should have listened to you when you said
"Running won't get you away from this"
It follows wherever I go
Worried mind like a camera lens
With no clarity left for the picture
Filter out what I want to forget
Wipe away all the names and the faces
I should have listened to you when you said
"Nothing will make this easier"
I should have listened to you when you said
"Running won't get you away from this"
It follows wherever I go
Breathing in slow
Breathing out and letting go

Knife Ties Illinois
Knife Ties began in 2020 when John Contreras turned to making music on his laptop to persevere through depression and
uncertainty.
The sounds evolve with an anchor in the lo-fi beauty of Midwest emo and the cold isolation of 80s synth pop.
Knife Ties sets you free.

living in memory of something sweet

Undeniable melodies swim up from beneath layers of distortion and effects, making this a psych-pop winner.

There You Ain't
by Grave Saddles
Twangy grunge? Dinosaur Jr. except make it Emmylou Harris? It's real on the new EP from California band Grave Saddles.
go to album
Melodic post-grunge that eschews all of the negative connotations of that phrase and embraces all the positives: huge hooks, huge-r riffs.

From Where I'm Standing
by Gilah
The latest EP from Brooklyn’s Gilah is an explosion of sound and color, with oceanic guitars and dreamlike melodies.
go to album
Drawing on everything from soft-focus C86 like The Field Mice to distortion-heavy shoegaze, “Eulogies” is pop perfection.
