i went to war for you! hell, i started the revolution for you. i turned the world on its back for you, as menelaus did for helen.
i long ago turned off the feelings. the righteousness took over. there was no vengeance to be had; only sacrifice and martyrdom. i vowed to not give up so easily… next time.
lyrics
my Corsican Rose
daughter of the revolution
we brought it on ourselves
through our evolution
i adopted your sires
you fueled my fires
we thought that we had found
the final solution
you were my queen
my Josephine
you were everything
I had conquered in dreams
my exile destroyed us
split us in two
oceans apart
and we were no longer true
i had no son
or daughter by you
my empress, my Rose,
my Waterloo
we had other lovers
but none like each other
in the end there was nothing
this ruler could do
my Corsican Rose
daughter of the revolution
we brought it on ourselves
through our evolution
The Chicago wunderkind's debut album is half lo-fi hip-hop pianos and breakneck drumming, half polished pop songs full of orchestral arrangements and whimsical but melancholic melodies. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 23, 2020
A haunting, beautiful, autobiographical record that uses samples of old gospel records to wrestle with faith and unbelief. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2021
A mind-melter of a record, writes hallucinogenic songs that are harrowing one moment, breathtakingly beautiful the next. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023
