We reside on stolen land. We have delineated fictitious “walls” to “protect” what we’ve appropriated by genocidal violence, taking and justifying. Now there is shock “others” filtered in and continue to. We are unaware of, or ignore, the factors the US contributes (and has historically) to the displacement of people now in dire situations. Nobody wants to leave their home. If there’s a rattling at your door, ask who this house used to belong to, then ask how you’ve been undermining neighbors’ houses for centuries.
lyrics
We’ve lived in this home for so long. A lineage.
It’s handed down to hands who far from built it.
Now just brother and sister;
left from generations.
This is what’s legacy.
Walls and a roof that keep in shadows.
And dust gathers again each dusk.
Everyday chores and routine.
But we aren’t the only ones here.
Something stirs in the darkness
of the recessed rooms.
Muffled steps, voices,
noises from the other side.
The sound of something crashing to the floor.
Shut the door with lock,
cut your losses.
Sounds in the next room.
Keeps rattling the doors.
He won't leave.
The ghost in the next room
Keeps tapping the walls.
The work’s unfinished.
The day is never done.
The ghost in the next room
keeps tapping the walls,
keeps rattling the doors.
Ghost in the next room
Has kicked down the door.

This band. Hands down my favorite Discord band. They’ve had a powerful affect on my musical growth when I was young. And they’ve stayed there locked up in good nostalgia. Timeless. So I was worried to know they were doing anything new. PLEASE NO! I though to myself. Don’t let the new stuff suck and poison it! Well… Let’s say I’m thankful. A new chapter is born. Solid. guy_lane

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

Specializing in bright, sunny "bedroom rock español," this Brooklyn singer-songwriter puts a unique spin on lo-fi music. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 18, 2024
This Baltimore group rough up post-punk with dark post-hardcore riffs and chaotic choruses, never losing a fine-tuned sense of melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 13, 2024

This is a great intro to the album, I actually have a couple favorites. The angst of being a Black man in such a hateful country...I'm glad this exists, it soothes the soul. spacemanfresh
