there in the public, i find a single strife a wooden case of seclusion, a question of who and for what a lack of involvement towards this population :: desire to pat on the back when it's useless :: an absence of respect is clear and well deserved
2.	cut broadly (i am going to jump from the rock overhanging everything) 02:18	lyrics	buy track
this will ruin an exit this will ruin a city i'm bleeding, i'm sorry your thoughts are standing on my shoulders i buckle. i'll see you soon

SEEING YOUR FACE MAKES ME FEEL LIKE IT'S WINTER with no conversation it's clear that you're undeserving smash//grind//fall just stow(e) you away fabricated precipitation surrounds your second home don't try to be better//sinking shoes into water a line is a better connection than a plane

released November 10, 2012

recorded in the summer of 2012 at chris cappello's house. these songs got made pretty by chris cappello.

jack tomascak - words, guitar, noise

the title of this album is adapted from a line from david cross's 2010 special "bigger and blackerer," which is very funny despite its 5.6 pitchfork score - what do they know about comedy?

cover art taken by me in 2011 on a really emotional and weird weekend at camp woodstock in woodstock valley, connecticut - way before this project had any sort of inkling towards existing.

thank you to: chris cappello, my heart to joy, new haven, and anyone who is so motivated to listen to this.
