Yannick Boumans Waw! This is a major album.
If you like the underground Indie scene from the 90’s...these Guys are up to the challenge.
So hard to find such a sound nowadays!
I feel like 20 again!

Same Place 01:40
We were just two kids lying on a pile of leaves under a twisted maple hands gripping red foliage A man came and killed us under the park pavilion ripped a hole right through us ripped a hole then flew off Back then we weren't ashamed of the thoughts we had In fact we were proud We spoke them all out loud of ships to Malta flying machines cancer-repairing powers fragrant, eternal flowers Now I'm muted for hours Now I'm muted for days I have no one to talk to Are you in the same place?
2.
Wait and watch the carriage crush my brittle bones You waited for the lighted door some galavanting rube And so I waited too a noble, silent fool to be nothing to anyone and for no one to know where I am I've been standing on a cliff for so long now denigrating my mistakes blinded to my gold While you, you languish in place hollow in your little cage I've seen the traps that you laid so wallow in your little cage Watch me rise Watch me climb out of the mire
3.
Chameleon 04:39
They have charmed you the ones I abhor Overtaken seasons of my life now Fortune seekers who fade when the nectar's dry thieves of every ray you aim to welcome Reinvent again to never know yourself The sharp chameleons conspire for the kill They have charmed you so now you adore all that seeks to numb you latches on now Feeble half lives archived in a blue-screen void posturers who starve without the chorus beaming Reinvent again to never know yourself The sharp chameleons will conspire for the kill What does it take to reach you? What does it take to move you? Out of the masquerade Contend with the cold, imperfect air or stay in your antiseptic tomb Your remote decline wasting, falling through Brought to a Manet meadow you wince at the perfect weeds Alone at a silent table you tremble while you breathe An amnesia placebo will never rescue you out of the past.
4.
High Street 04:54
High street incites a momentary lapse of mind so I look away My years of need hovering like icicles from a belfry wall In place of me a simulacrum hollowed out strolling, weathered shell a roving fear just to lose or fall again all my stolen peace I won't waste inside or splinter under indifferent cosmic might Hierophany: I find it in the unloved detritus I'm inclined either way to labor quietly while it rains then I display when I need something to keep me going I unfurl the parchment release the locusts Don't try to push me backwards in any way I move in amoebic rapture inside the grain I always find another way out.
5.
Ruby 04:30
Sand-sculpted ruby you are on the countertop of a crowded bar populated by flies with 20/600 vision in both eyes They can't see you the way you produce and reflect light They can't know what damning pressure produced you We're just the bugs conscientious and proud moving with grace through the fields and plows A kid with a rock wants to straighten you out but I move myself over your body My feeble shelter the gesture itself is what matters When the caustic nightmare moves with gravity's helping So don't wait until you're whole again In your moments of grace you regenerate You're the one that shines No witnesses required Your dignity is their venom and it's my anodyne Each joy is entirely yours Sprung from the clay deprived of water you'll make it farther
6.
Anodyne 03:29
We're not a pile of stubborn vices and I have no pride worth saving When I'm risking death through lifelessness I would welcome humiliation At least it's something I glued the egg shells avoided every patch of ice I levitated for you to see Above the trade winds behold your tired scribe lost on the periphery Your anodyne You could have had me in the garden then I was a mantis in your palm all night I don't despise you you tyrant thing Is there something that I could do? Do not wander through the empty spire with intimations of suicide Stay beside me by the open fire Smoke from embers floods our weary eyes
7.
Take it Away 04:13
I meant to see you fly and flourish I never meant to see you burn So take me away Your light hesitates In a gallery of masks you choose the one that shades your wounds I'll take you away my light resonates I'd rather risk pure than ever calcify Effervescent life You couldn't kill it if you tried I was wading in a black pond underneath the moon I feel asleep My fingers pruned I woke to voices in the stirring weeds of both me and you You heard my notes I was entombed but now I'm awake restored to grace So are you, unexhumed Say you'll never lie fused into this fragile truth I'd rather risk pure than ever calcify Effervescent life You couldn't kill it if you tried I could just erase you That's what everybody does but that suggests that you meant nothing to me And when I feel two things at once such as paralyzing pain and the conviction that I care for you for life While our souls collide our souls align our souls entwine Out of the light, I couldn't leave you out of the light
8.
Wayfarers 02:20
I was not the right one for anyone So I was sequestered like a powder keg dampened in the chamber, where mold was grass I was wine in an oil vat Sanctuary somewhere a novella spared from the Säuberung So why fight it? I know I'm going to be there no longer Too tired of despair Nepotrebujem pomoc from demons I prefer my patchwork pantheon Dancing in the gutted pews with the motley wayfarers

Rapture 01:10
