Blur Season

Tracks

1. 1. Late Bakery Window, Cooling RacksThe first thing I hear when I think of this record is warm bread in a cold street. We recorded it at 5am for the full effect.lo-fi, bedroom pop3:33
2. 2. Tram Depot Sweeper, Sparks and DustSweeping up sparks and dust after the last tram, and nobody watching. I loved the idea of someone doing quiet work in the dark.lo-fi, dream pop3:20
3. 3. Canal Lock Keeper, Lantern on the GateA lock keeper, a lantern and black water rising. The slowest song on the record, and one of my favourites.slowcore, dream pop3:03
4. 4. Wedding Toast at Midnight, Glasses LowA friend's wedding, last dancers swaying, glasses low. I wrote the first verse on a napkin and Imogen finished it.dream pop, romantic ballad3:28
5. 5. Slow Dance in the Kitchen LightA kettle off, dishes dry and the radio low. It might be the most domestic song we've written, which is the point.bedroom pop, dream pop3:12
6. 6. Rise Up Loud, Neon AnthemYes, we wrote an anthem. We were embarrassed for about a week, then we started to love it.synth pop, shoegaze3:51
7. 7. Raffle Ticket, Number Forty-TwoA raffle ticket, number forty-two, and a tiny bit of hope. The drum machine gets to be a little silly here.lo-fi, bedroom pop3:04
8. 8. Cap and Gown, Cardboard StageA borrowed gown, a cap that won't stay on, and a cardboard stage. I wanted it to feel like one big shaky grin.dream pop, indie pop3:47
9. 9. Green Light Mixtape, Rolling HomeA crooked marker on a cassette label is the most honest sort of love letter. Our tape-swapping days are all in this song.lo-fi, bedroom pop2:57
10. 10. Overpass Sunrise, Hands in the AirWe closed the record with a sunrise and a lot of reverb. It's the closest we've come to a stadium, and the stadium is an empty overpass.shoegaze, lo-fi2:56
