Saw it there before your eyes
World exploded into noise
And from the ashes you will rise
But it ain’t like you have a choice
The things that pass for hope these days
Bad times don’t last but good things break
So sift through ash for cups and plates
The things that pass for hope these days
From every corner people heard
And pressed their hearts to retina screens
It’s good to know they know it hurts
Still don’t know the hell it means
The things that pass for hope these days
Bad times don’t last, or so they say
So stack your cans and powdered eggs
The things that pass for hope these days
I just need a little laugh
I just need to sleep tonight
I only took a half a tab
I only need to know you’re fine
The things that pass for hope these days
Bad times don’t last, some scars don’t fade
So pick up trash and wash your face
The things that pass for hope these days
This is such a local gem. Tasty, buoyant, conversational improvisations that don't quite sound like anything else but are also totally approachable. A must for guitarists and drummers. Tracy Manuel
Caught this one when it dropped and it's been a constant fave ever since. Super gooey, somber pedal steel meditations with few additives. Transcendent. On repeat every long, lethargic NorCal summer. Tracy Manuel
Off-kilter, relentless, unexpected, and endlessly absorbing piano minimalism. But not like the kind you've heard before. This is bubblier. Tracy Manuel
