Release Notes:
Whistling to life with a scrap of found sound/dialogue, the song then wings into
a vague, hazed-out stone-toss between 2 tired notes (a dead ringer for that famous
Les Rallizes Denudes bass riff), ebbing and flowing beneath smeary streaks of white-washed
vocal blur. A Top 40 single for a universe of ghosts. The B, ôRise + Go,ö might actually be
the more aching of the two, a broke-down bedroom ballad, awash in sad seas of reverb,
lapping at the shores of isolated islands, gently sailing into heartbreak. Sounds lo-fi but
lush, like it was recorded high on a cloud on a cheap 80s boombox. Imagine that. Black vinyl
45 RPM singles, mastered by Pete Swanson, in photocopied sleeves with art by Remy. Edition of 380.
