Saw this song posted on my FB today and it brought me right back to when this song came out, the summer before I started college. Definitely a song that I was blasting in my car while driving around my … Continue reading →

September Show Series 2017, Pt. 5: Mount Eerie

Posted on September 21, 2017 by Very Warm

What exactly does a devastation sound like? It can take on many forms: a quiet, bristling rejection of reality; a crushing, blistering blanket of rage; a total drainage of all feeling; a wash of hopelessness; an exodus of the self. … Continue reading →

Posted on September 20, 2017 by Very Warm
