kimgunho Of course, that is my favorite track, Great harmony, and it comforts me to listen.

That's enough reason to love some music. Favorite track: blossom (feat. impasaurus & sleepshopper).

violetregier Reviewing the Cassette release:
The white plastic of the case is very nice, blends with the album art very well. The little poetry sheet is a nice bonus, and the poems are very personal and relate closely to the EP's material. The tape itself is Type 2 Dolby NR, so it's clear that kqa has put quality first. The whole release feels very premium.
The EP itself has some really great synth work, the mixing is much improved, no song overstays its welcome, and it's all very catchy. - 9/10 Favorite track: hold on (feat. genatari).

all the shit i always said i dont think before it leaves my head cause i dont think of consequences im always goin never endin its okay well make it through and i can sing this song to you cause you gotta have the confidence still think of me as your friend i know its hard to get my motives when i only show these short clips but if you read between the lines i think youll like what i disguised whoa, whoa, whoa look around say what you see and hear your voice talkin to me cause you gotta have some self awareness figure it out and process it its okay just take your time and soon enough youre next in line and then we can get this sorted out even if not your final bout i know its hard to get my motives when i only show these short clips but if you read between the lines i think youll like what i disguised ooh, ooh look back, process every single thought youve made today work on yourself before you blossom take one step and then the next dont forget that you need to blossom just to help those you love whoa, whoa

about

i think i see a lot of themes doubling down in who i am during quarantine

a lot of dwelling on past mistakes, sometimes literally every day
it feels like the battle between adhd and add gets stronger every day
self care being all over the place, hyperfixations...
dont even mention the existential crisis,
which im sure im not alone on -
put simply, i could continue for a while

but im trying to look back at what i can and fix it
im trying to fix the old mistakes,
whether years old or during quarantine,
to the best of my ability

trying to pave a better road for the future,
while tending to the past
all while everything is blurring together
trying to make sense of it all

so that when this is all over i can blossom
