lyrics

act like you're older feel like you're old enough to stick with it
pull back the covers creep back into the bed again you won't muss it up
i can't keep its place in my brain for more than a second before it's gone again
sneak your suspicion past that train of thought
you're going out of style you can't relate an albatross around your neck
sure there isn't much you can't connect but not this
i can't keep its place in my brain for more than a second before it's gone again
hope you will see through the fog that's clouding your eyes you can't move on
until it's gone

Hikes are the acceptable face of math rock, a genre they attack with some vigour. Only four songs on this ep, but I can’t be without a single Hikes song. davekillcountysmith

In All Our Long Years
by New Lands

Only twelve-and-a-half minutes of music on offer, here. Yet, the band still manages to take the listener on a magical journey. Nothing straight-up about this band. You never know what you’re going to hear next. You just know that you’re going to enjoy it. davekillcountysmith
