Victor Florence This album is like a Miyazaki film seen through a small super8 film projector intercut with home videos you shot while traveling alone across the country. Lonesome yet beautiful. Favorite track: We Will..

i don’t ever want to feel again i wanna stay dull, cheap, and fake i want a short life expectancy and a girl to fuck while my arm bleeds i wanna live in disarray i want a house that i can’t sleep in cause bitch i’m never gonna sleep until this life is stripped from me i don’t ever want to love again i wanna keep my hands to myself i want a portrait of my family so i can keep it somewhere where i won't see it i wanna kill the pain i cause myself and i wanna kill the regret afterwards and i want a greater escape so i can kill all that’s left of me until i’m nothing

Saint K 02:21
you are such a beautiful girl but you've got problems racing on the edge of your skirt like a time bomb one and two and three and four and you've got my heart "be the woman he made you to be and i'll call you back" you are such a beautiful girl but you've got problems i saw pictures of your drugs and your dreams of stardom one and two and three and four and you've got my heart "be the woman he made you to be and i'll call you back"

pour me another one don’t try to take it slow we’ve got a world of time we’re all that we need when we get out of here we’ll be a funky mess you’ll find us on the streets we’re all that we need kill the sadness, break ourselves in dull self-hatred, don’t you cave in we are dedicated escapists we are dedicated to nothing at all daddy was never home mommy was sniffing blow now we are doing so we’re all that we need when we get out of hell where will we rest our heads no one but us understands that we’re all that we need kill the sadness, break ourselves in dull self-hatred, don’t you give in we are dedicated escapists we are dedicated to nothing at all

Yalta 04:18
and so it goes, now it's all done you know i still feel it, dear all these ghost pains, all these half-brained woes trying to tell me that everything is uptight you're a fake laugh underneath my sleeves waiting silently it's a curtain of uncertainty that wraps your wrists and closes your mouth everything is uptight tell me that it's alright drop the keys and turn out the light when you leave me, when you break the chain will i feel your pain i can't see it, but i feel it and i know it still lives everything is uptight tell me that i'm alright nothing's ever right

about

Written/recorded in six days. Instead of my usual method of trying to make music that sounds as clean as I can make it, I recorded these dirty little songs on a laptop microphone in short amounts of time, usually at 2 in the morning.

Thanks for listening everyone.

"One of the first elements I noticed when listening to this album was the surprising amount of diversity in songwriting, production and instrumentation. Organs, little bits of percussion, guitars both electric and acoustic; all are featured on Greater Escapes. Even with the wide range of instruments on the album each track feels personal. Dead Name Blues doesn’t add anything to the tracks that isn’t absolutely essential." - huddybolly.com
