Fionn Great album, 90s emo vibe off it which I love, fantastic production as usual from Mícheál Keating. Every song hits. Favorite track: I'm Not Here, I'm Somewhere Else.

Lee Gorman This album marks a huge step forward for the band and is surely destined to be one of the best Irish releases of 2019. Complex, fluid indie rock laced with cathartic bursts of post-hardcore aggression, for fans of American Football, C-Clamp, Castor, Braid and early Mock Orange. Favorite track: I'm Not Here, I'm Somewhere Else.

in and out of the foreground; where you like to drift i catch only glimpses i'm not up for this // do i change when i'm around you? from my lightest to my darkest hues i've been feeling disconnected like my foot's in the door but it's been there for a while i wait for days to no avail it was always my greatest trait sleight of hand, self-loathe, and self-contain now there's no room to breathe i've been struggling to identify what's real you fade opaque see me in a different light i'm grey you're colourful. i'm inauspicious that proposal, it ruined us we're getting old, and that door is closed you're colourful, that door is closed, i'm going grey i'm letting go i wait for days to no avail // if there's something to be found in all of this it has to be a feeling tangible and real it has to be a feeling it has to be it has to be.

here i house all my regrets am i making a point or just lying to myself? each corner is lit in this box of a room is this something i miss or just a ritual? dreaming of you. i've had enough. i think routines my only enemy. i've had enough. well what would you have done if you were me? i've had enough. i think routines my only enemy. i've had enough. we danced in showers of arms at the close not common of us but it was a brief display of need, and want, and reverie i still picture you from time to time beds of sunflowers close a summer's night living your best, living your best life i'm still sleeping for mine i've had enough. i think routines my only enemy. i've had enough. well what would you have done if you were me? i've had enough. // wake up! check around! i'm still here! open heart! full lungs! i'm still here! say! shout! i'm still here!

another dream you're visiting and i see you oh so truly they rearranged your flower families your walled-in entities time and time to pass again we use this room oh so differently time and time let's not pretend he took on all your roles he played your parts perfectly remember long drives no stony silence just Achill Island time and time to pass again we use your room oh so differently time and time let's not pretend now you're not sleeping i stayed away so when i'm sleeping stay awake stay awake // unbox, unlearn give and get there's no karma feed the birds, feed the foxes overlook your valley now see the wind for what it is, where it's coming from where it's going take one last look around you're just visiting now but it's a home overlook your valley now it's all yours it's all yours now.

you left the door ajar and came back in of a new air there are these moments outside and in between i think i'll keep you there. you're dancing on your feet scream your passions at me now there's too much heat for my liking, too much time for me to lay idle a different frame of mind i'm yours for the taking and can you do it this time can you waive this life? this is all i've ever known this is all i'll ever know it's the only way to heaven and i'm no stranger the rooms so fucking blue without you, you're a ravens death i'm not sure what to do so i trip right behind you i'd rather not be aware you're dancing on your feet scream your passions at me now there's too much heat for my liking, too much time for me to lay idle this is all i've ever known this is all i'll ever know these moments between are not good enough these spaces between are not filling up it's the only way to heaven and i'm no stranger

build a frame to catch the leaves angled limbs begin to weave but i'm not here, i'm somewhere else nothing but you inside my head something i don't quite understand burn of flesh and sleight of hand turn your head to face me we fall leaving my chest weak and ask "if not now then when?" you know i don't want this to end i draw you closer to myself until the both of us just blend so when we leave there's nothing left a broken frame, unholy mess this gesture leads to something less than a life bereft of something i don't quite understand burn of flesh and sleight of hand turn your head to face me we fall leaving my chest weak and ask "if not now then when?" you know i don't want this to end i draw you closer to myself until the both of us just blend give me a second to catch my breath a passing thought you hang west with the wind i never lost and never let you begin i never let you begin a passing thought you hang west with the wind i never lost you never let me begin you never let me begin

over my town, there is a mountain we'll see how far it goes under this bridge there is water west-ward it flows takes me back to old family homes crescenting communities and white paving stones i'll visit in winter, let's uproot the trees wave goodbye to the seasons hope for new seeds behind this old school there is a yearning for no abbreviated lives in the morning it's taken too many it's taking too long and now all of our feet are black with scree and worry we dip our heads we can't be cleansed i'm not defined by anyone's life in passing, there is nothing to define in senselessness in hopelessness i'll try to find a light in this it's been too long i'm going home.

who am i? what space do i occupy? travel and see me in different lights two years and i've lived my life and the worst part is i'm in control. a single train of thought can lead us here only focus on the bad years so i collect my stones i collect my gold and i hang my head shame is coming home and the worst part is i'm in control // to miss everything at once to lose myself in a crowd i could do all of this great work but i move backwards now it goes over and over it goes over and over it goes over and over and it's never gonna stop.
8.
i'm still waiting for that feeling something more than just fleeting something i can hold onto something i can lean on something that can take my weight something tangible something physical something real. // with diction untethered your words lay like stones thrown it's all come before it'll all pass again (interlocking, interwoven chance) let me be human, i'll find that feeling (settle finally from your glance) it's all come before it'll all pass again (rearrange or reaffirm my stance) let me be human, i'll let you in who do you think that i am?
9.
i'm a grain of sand i'm a bug in the breeze i'm a papercut but i don't bleed i'm less than everything that i need to be breathe for me open me up live for me so i can stop and the moment's not here still stuck in last year and the moment's not here speak for me, don't speak for me don't speak for me i think about my mistakes a lot think about all my hate if we keep going at this rate will it be too late? and the moment's not here still stuck in last year and the moment's not here speak for me, don't speak for me don't speak for me can i be that son? show love to everyone? i just wanna be good show me how.
