Silence is misunderstood
Silence comes bad or comes good
It's the moment of shock
Or peace within the tranquil woods
And you know I'm not messing around
When I tell you silence has a sound
If you wait till one a.m. in the desert night,
You lay down in the sand and close your eyes
CHORUS:
You hear silence
And all of that previous violence
Is lost in this grievious silence
I feel an increasing in my sense
Silence
Silence is prayer or defeat
Quiet, girl, you'll get us both seen
But there's a narrow line
Holding back the beauty queen
So a screech breaks gold apart
What once was peace is now nostalgia art
But if you long to be numb and be quiet, too
Close off your skull and follow through
CHORUS
Oh, what a noisy road
Where tranquility is such a rarity
Give me some silence, hon, and go
Help yourself to my every penny
CHORUS 2x

This NYC quartet channels the anxious, experimental nature of late '90s-early '00s Olympia indie rock in their tense, rhythmic post-punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 8, 2016
Juxtaposing poetic balladry with roaring feedback and warped piano lines, the Vermonter's music is as stunning as it is unsettling. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024
