Oliver Semple This is my writing music, a soup of fuzzy guitar and apathetic vocals that fills my living room with nice, unobstructive sound

Gavin Hellyer I really like this LP. A fantastic collection of catchy and immediate songs. Favorite track: Let Down.

Travis Button Really great Debut LP from these guys. I also have the Weed Smoker EP and for whatever reason, it definitely didn't resonate with me the way these 12 tracks pieced together did. I really like this album more and more with each listen. Can't beat that deal either, $10 for a frickin' Vinyl LP!? Not to mention how awesome that blob is, I don't think I've ever seen another like it. Favorite track: Animal.

Paolo Yumol This record submerges me in a pleasant, syrupy nostalgia for the sloopy days I spent sitting in the school parking lot, picking my nose and watching cooler kids with hickies sear across the sidewalk on skateboards. The fuzzy sadness of the nineties—a light-up Reeboks kind of sadness. Now thanks to Pope I can relive it once again !! Favorite track: Animal.

1.
I drove by your house the other day Thought about stopping by to see you’re ok But the thought only lasts a day And I wouldn’t know what to say I walk down the tracks to kills some time Thinking about how much you like wine And how all your words fade into rhyme And I just want to get high With you
2.
Let Down 02:41
I could live in constant states To compliment the way you seem To sleep inside my head for days It comes to me as great relief Carry this with weight that feels Like consequential make-believe I’ve played the game of faking truths I’ve let you take the breath from me See me now In a way you feel left out I know you see me now Helps to keep my tongue tied down I could never bring you to your knees Its hard enough to see Myself between the cautionary codes I shape to help me breathe See me now In a way you feel let down I know you see me now Helps to keep my tongue tied down
3.
Gearbear 02:42
Rip apart my body I’m drowning now Your eyes are dead it’s over anyhow My lips are cold and your flesh is so worm You’re an antibody and I’m a germ Well no, I got a long way to go And Joanne’s out back playing in the snow Well that’s all right, that’s all right with me I just enjoyed the company The gift you gave to me I never wore Red started leaking out of my pores But Joanne had yellow hair She would take the bus everywhere But that’s all right, that’s all right with me I just enjoyed the company
4.
Fast Eddy 02:59
Got caught in another parking lot Don’t step to near my car It’s not what I’ve been taught before Relive the warmth that feels like home Calm, collected, and alone It seems you’ve seen the spaces in between The cutting cold of my extremes
5.
Animal 03:14
In my life I was kept waiting No two of the same mistake Went without warning In time, love, we will be standing Over pillars of plain, white smoke Observing the trains below Still standing on my time But it was never the same then In my life I was an animal Injured by restless thoughts Of miserable context And you dear, are made up of Neatly square divisions of labored care And delicate dreaming So stay near and know that the blackened air Holds weight in the same strange vain When the grain was shaped simply Still standing on my time But it was never the same then The kids are all coming home now And their mother’s been faithful

Will Taylor 02:06
Ice you feel very nice Pressed up agents my skin As the plastic bends My bones break again Well my insides are twisted up I must have been made from the wrong stuff Well my body isn’t like yours So you would probably just get bored Glass lodged in my spine Rips a hole in my side As the tires slide I close my eyes I want to be a thought in your head Not a memory or a distant friend Well my body isn’t like yours So you’d probably just get board
8.
Panic 03:30
Absolving panic I believe I have tried Have another glass of water Close your eyes and recline Its true its never ending I’ve been hiding inside I’ve seen a harmful picture of you and me Surprised to see you in my sleep Release your rights to my extremes
9.
Bug 02:06
Bug If I could make you feel the way you should, Then I would In dreams, you’re the only one I see, All night If I could bind my eyes to your spine, Now I’m blind Come out of your cocoon, move across the room, Like a bug
10.
Parties 03:47
Blame it on the weather; I’m not that clever This party isn’t much fun Every ones sarcastic wrap them in plastic You don’t need any one Any one The conversation lingers on the tip of a finger The mechanisms broke His poetry will eat you then digest you There really isn’t much hope Isn’t much hope Well I can see you in my sleep Your cold skin against my cheek makes me weak Put it in ignition making bad decisions She begins to smoke Lights start flashing she’s over reacting This has got to be a joke Be a joke Well I can see you in my sleep Your cold skin agents my cheek makes me weak “You’re making a scene” Every one is clever in this arctic weather This party isn’t much fun
11.
All the Time 03:31
I’m almost certain That the harm that I’ve done To your eyes Will be defeated By disguises I’ve designed indoors Its not enough to say that I’ve been misleading Divide my time for steady living room breathing Then you call me out for what I believe in I hear you breathing Its softer than before But brave and still So soon you’ll leave here With my sense of feeling found Its not enough to say that I’ve been misleading Divide my time for steady living room breathing Then you call me out for what I believe in You remain all of the time In all the years spent hiding inside
12.
Andy 01:30
I could live in constant states To compliment the way you seem To sleep inside my head for days It comes to me as great relief Carry this with weight that feels Like consequential make-believe I’ve played the game of faking truths I’ve let you take the breath from me
