Outfoxed 03:17
Said I don't wanna go away, I won't go away I don't know when to burn out or fade away We go round and round like this everyday But I don't really like it when you make me feel that way What? What'd you say? What'd you say to me? You always tell me that I've got to let it go But I don't want to let you go, then I'll never know You only get once chance and then you turn it over So make it something special then you gotta let it flow What? What'd you say? What'd you say to me? Gonna tell you one more time I'm not an animal Play your little songs up on your radio Big and little sounds will always be the cure Now I don't wanna go away, anymore

Long Shadows 03:44
Put me to bed on the telephone, talking until the rhythm goes wrong or the lights come on Stories you spin, you manipulate Dizzy, you can say anything and the blinds stay drawn Secrets cast long shadows Daylight, walking beside you, slipping into the shade you make Complicit, complicate Meet me just where I need you to, clouding the darker parts of you But your cover’s faked Secrets cast long shadows Fire and prying and violence and knives; whispers you send out into the night You started it, you pushed, you lied You lied
3.
In Deep 04:03
The sinking, the bottom of the sea, tied an anchor to your absence, baby The sinking, the falling to my knees, tight feeling in my stomach learning to breathe in deep In deep, the center of me Dark blooms, something new Decorate this room ocean blue I can never go back to the house I once knew I can never go back to the place I left you No speaking, at the bottom of the sea where I plunge with all my problems, heavy No speaking, of sickness please, tight feeling in my stomach learning to breathe in deep In deep, the center of me

Lone Wolf 03:56
Found her hiding in Cathedral Trees Fading in and out of memory I think I finally found the animal in me I'll let her in and feed her secretly Teach me the lone wolf howl Give me all your power Got the makings of a feral child Gonna be her, gonna eat the wild Gonna hold her like a newborn baby Sing to her until she falls asleep Teach me the lone wolf howl Give me all your power

Your Story 03:24
Tell it how you need to tell it, say what you have to say Paint me in a bad light so that you can sleep right I’m not sleeping anyway It’s your story Fan the fire the flames get higher
6.
I’m bare, I’m bone I’ve bared, I’ve shown You everything You’re there, you’re gone You shared, you’re wrong Say something You told me told me that you’d love me every every day I told you that I’d love you love you in every way She cried, He sighed She lied, He died Oh they’re fine You told me told me that you’d love me every every day I told you that I’d love you love you in every way She said he said I’m here, you’re dead Oh my god You told me told me that you’d love me every every day I told you that I’d love you love you in every way You’re there, you’re gone You shared, I’m wrong Say something I’m bare, I’m bone I’ve bared, I’ve shown You everything You told me told me that you’d love me every every day I told you that I’d love you love you in every way

I Try 03:32
New sun, our window Morning arranged just so The glow, golden light Hope today I can love you right If I try New sun, day breaking My tongue can be mean We scream, we fight Hope today I can love you right If I try You said ‘let’s sleep on it’ I can’t, I’m too upset New sun, golden light Hope today I can love you right If I try
8.
Say It 02:09
The simple things you say matter Everyday, the things you say matter Go on and say it, what's on your mind Go on and break me, I'll be fine Go on and say it, what's on your mind

about

"Dark Blooms - A fitting title for a melancholic procession. Four women from Portland don’t fit too neatly in any box, but post-punk and indie rock fans can definitely find something to like here. The songwriting and melodies have a pop sensibility to them but the overall tone is darker. Simple guitar leads are tempered in, adding an interesting texture. I’m reminded a bit of Berlin’s LEVITATIONS, whose tape I reviewed a couple months back, though ANTHER sounds less bleak. Great stuff.“ (Matt Badenhop, Maximum RocknRoll #409)
