about
new single “Big Talk” is part of a collection of signature lo-fi jangle pop recordings written during the early days of the pandemic. Texturized by not much more than an electric guitar, a drum machine and distorted synthesizers, “Big Talk” marks a return to minimalist, early aughts' guitar-pop. The single wastes no time bursting into a soaring hook that lingers on the question of "is it where you are that keeps us apart or is it who you are?" Solitude can offer a silver lining of showing what we're able to live with and more importantly live without.
"a gem like “Big Talk” just as readily calls back to more recent indie-pop history, namely the lo-fi guitar-pop stuff that was making waves on the blogs about a decade ago. I’m picking up everything from Beach Fossils to LVL UP on this one" - Stereogum
lyrics
is it raining where you are
is it really not that far
do you think you'll spend the night
I don't think its worth the long drive
is it where you are that keeps us apart
or is it who you are that left its mark
is it a good time to see you
I'm sorry we're not at home
it's a good time to be you
so I guess I'm gonna let you go
tell me who you are when I'm not with you
do you do it to feel okay
or do you do it to not feel the pain
