lyrics
Come on mom, you don't have to tuck me into that snowbank
(snowbank)
I'm old enough to handle my own duvet
(duvet)
And you still haven't seen the tattoos that cover my thighs
(thighs)
I don't want to ruin your day
(day)
This is what I fear
That I'll give up the ghost
When civilization's near
Yeah I ate my dogs,
And you would have too
But history won't judge you.
Sometimes, when I was younger
My parents would take me to the Williams-Sonoma in the Freehold Mall
And I would get a cup of hot apple cider and a piece of toffee
And I would point at the sign and I would say we had the same name
And I would try to understand the salad spinners, with all its chrome, and rubberized grips,
and my parents would take me home.
I made this decision by myself, dad.
(dad)
Jackie treats me well he doesn't beat me like the other guys.
(guys)
I make better money than I did at the office
(office)
You don't know me, I do what I want.
(want)
This is what I fear
That I'll give up the ghost
When civilization's near
Yeah I ate my dogs,
And you would have too
But history won't judge you.
Sometimes I catch myself wondering
What happens to the homeless cats in the wintertime,
If the luckier ones sit on their sunbeams and radiators
And judge them for their bad decisions
Or if they want to form a civic council to provide
Insulated cardboard boxes and catnip toy exchange programs
Or if they just howl and howl
howl and howl, howl and howl,
howl and howl, howl and howl,
howl and howl, howl and howl,
howl and howl and howl.
(snowbank)
I'm old enough to handle my own duvet
(duvet)
And you still haven't seen the tattoos that cover my thighs
(thighs)
I don't want to ruin your day

That I'll give up the ghost
When civilization's near
Yeah I ate my dogs,
And you would have too
But history won't judge you.
Sometimes, when I was younger

howl and howl, howl and howl,
howl and howl, howl and howl,
howl and howl, howl and howl,

The sort of music that is beyond time. The sort of music that you feel more than you hear. I love the fact that vaporwave/dreampunk projects like these have such extremely evocative aesthetics they directly fill your mind with sensations you didn't know you had. You'd maybe think it relies on that solely, but it's coupled with gorgeous musicianship + intense production ideas. The volume and spaces it creates just pull you in instantly whatever your initial mood was. Still stunning to this day.

The latest from indie rock outfit Activity has a charmingly sinister feel, blending in stark rhythms and washes of dark ambient.
