Sometimes when I am faced
With the apparent emptiness of you:
I fear I will lose my nerve.
I fear I will lose my nerve.
Michael, he loves you, can’t you tell?
But he’s been cryin’, at the bottom of an echoing well.
Michael, he rides the southbound train
He’s reading Hitchens, now, and he’s burnin’ up with rage.
And he fears he will lose his nerve.
He fears he will lose his nerve.
Agnes, she rings the Vespers bell.
She wears a white veil, long - skin perfect as a shell.
Agnes, she loved an honest man
She lives in silence, now: folded lily, folded hands.
She fears she will lose her nerve.
She fears she will lose her nerve.
How nice, how profound of me
To think such probing thoughts;
And not a callous on my knee.
All hail mediocrity.
Sweet, clement impartiality.
Dear God: grant me honesty.
it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha
The Oh Hellos sind was besonderes für mich. Ich mag die Wechsel zwischen den ruhigen, atmospherischen Passagen und den rhythmischen Passagen. Ich mag wie ihr Spannung aufbaut. Ich mag die Stimme von Maggie und Tyler. Ich mage den unisono Gesang der ganzen Band. Ich wünsche mir eine neue Produktion von The Oh Hellos und Surfjan Stevens; und eine Tour mit einem Konzert im Westen von Deutschland. Kert Goéland
A hushed and low-lit EP from this Melbourne musician, where dreamlike melodies drift across a bed of tender guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
Recorded on the Grecian isle of Hydra, this is blissed-out psych pop with stacked falsetto harmonies and luscious arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 9, 2023
