“Blameless” is the clarion call of this album… the start of an honest conversation. Mirrors are gone, masks are down. What can I promise you? What should I promise you? What promises did I ask of you? Reality crystallizes, trend lines touch down — we propose a solution.
lyrics
Boy, they really got it in for you.
Race across town, smash the lock, and break into a cold and empty room
“No...”
I tell myself a little lie.
Everything will be alright if we could hold each other blameless.
Hide from the wolf and we’ll be fine.
I know it’s hard to understand.
Think we can hold each other blameless, baby?
Boy, what more could I have done for you?
Could I have kept you sheltered from the vicious and the ignorant and cruel?
No.
Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.

Tightly wound post-punk with splashes of new wave; heavy on twangy riffs, phased-out melodies, and understated vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 2, 2023
Bleak, throbbing work that lands halfway between coldwave and shoegaze, this Berlin group hits that spot just under the breastbone. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 15, 2017
