Night Bus Postcards

by Kilo Meridian

Six short postcards written on night buses, trams and ferries between towns after the heartbreak record.

Tracks

  1. 1. Butterflies on the DashboardFresh shirt, window down and a radio turned low. It's me trying to feel like myself again, and almost managing.bright synthwave, romantic synthpop3:24
  2. 2. Snow Globe on the ShelfA snow globe on the shelf, shaken once. I wanted to write about a memory that's smaller than it used to be.melancholy synth, dream pop3:32
  3. 3. Rooftop Kite, Last LightUp on a roof with a red kite and a long string. It's the playful little brother of the kite song from years ago.playful synthwave, nostalgic synth2:58
  4. 4. Sleeve Rolled, Night Bus Across TownHeat still on the glass and a bus crossing a sleeping town. I rode this route about forty times to finish the verse.nocturnal electronica, romantic synth4:37
  5. 5. Postcard Without a StampA blue sea and a pier on a postcard in a drawer. It's the title track in spirit, though it didn't take the title.nostalgic electronica, tender synth3:34
  6. 6. Two Time Zones, One LineYour morning is my night and the phone is warm in my hand. I closed the EP on the call I keep meaning to end.romantic synthwave, dream pop4:01

Liner notes

After Empty Marina I stopped driving and took the night bus for a few months. I wrote these on my phone against a fogged-up window, one idea per ride. They're short and a little unfinished, like postcards you almost send. The light came back slowly, but it did come back.
