Ami Josi Terrific stuff! I love how the wide variety of instruments come together so seamlessly, approximating some kind of unique blend of shoegazey dream pop and 60s psychadelia, topped with a charming vocal performance to match.

It's mixed very well, too.

Ghost 03:27
lyrics

I want to be someone I wanna disappear I wanna see the ghost of myself appear When I'm lonely and when I'm holy and Then I'm just a man, then I'm just a damn Angel when I'm up, devil when I stop Sometimes I'm in love with you way too much I wanna be someone, I wanna disappear I want to see the ghost of myself appear Put me in disguise Turn me into your Lustful hobby that you cannot ignore Freeze my heart inside Turn me into ice Wake me up when I'm already purified Ghost of all my dreams wake me in my sleep Tell me all the lies convincing me to smile You're intelligent you're so delicate I'm a devil that does not wear a mask I guess you were gone when I wasn't strong But here I'm and I'm not going anywhere Take another look, take back what you took From my life I guess that you never knew Angel when I'm up devil when I stop Sometimes I'm in love with you way too much Ghost of all my dreams wake me in my sleep Tell me all the lies convincing me to smile You're intelligent you're so delicate I'm a devil that does not wear a mask

Full Flesh Now 04:46
lyrics

I'm already bloodlust sexy Loveless dead he speaks and says he Knows no anger, knows no anger Tries to trade for half-spoke words or Bloodless pain your half-filled hurts were Just a piece of what you're worth well Loveless was the love the burned and I know I'm full flesh now Doubled edge now Speaks to me when I'm asleep How life is lived, life is lived You're the one I'm worshipping Too frustrated I'm contained and I'm already dead he says he Doesn't live for life or death I know I'm already bloodlust sexy Loveless dead he speaks and says he Knows no anger tries to trade for Half-spoke words or bloodless pain

Just A Loss 02:36
lyrics
buy track
I've been without sleep about twenty weeks I look to forever now, I look to forever now I think I'm an afterthought You're shining in the sun And over all my thoughts And over all I've got There wasn't anything that couldn't substitute That couldn't speak for you I think in afterthoughts I'm blinking after thoughts Talking just to talk To love is just a loss To love is just a loss To love is just a loss

Beautiful Like That 03:59
lyrics
buy track
Pieces of me were drowning in ice And drowning and I was frozen in a lukewarm Heartbreak that turned me into These grains of sand that slowly eroded and Far back in your eyes were shallow low skies That bruised me with a soft wind Someday we'll all be dead I was getting depressed when I thought about that Well, you don't know anything about loving real deep Lying to yourself you just don't see Lying to yourself you just don't see Don't see Talk to me slow I don't wanna know You're boring me with all of your Plastic paper words Saran-wrapped turds You're beautiful like that Sing me a song 'cause I don't like this Your dialogue smells like Shit you talk about I forget about You're beautiful like that Pieces of glass were reflecting on me And shattered around and shining on me Those headlights in my eyes Were circles that floated and purified me Is it okay to tell a lie just for a while Maybe just today, I was Lying to you when I said I was good But you probably got that it's understood that You don't know anything about loving real deep Lying to yourself you just don't see Lying to yourself you just don't see Don't see Talk to me slow I don't wanna know You're boring me with all of your Plastic paper words Saran-wrapped turds You're beautiful like that Sing me a song 'cause I don't like this Your dialogue smells like Shit you talk about I forget about You're beautiful like that

To Heal You 04:30
lyrics
buy track
All of the pain it was the same and I'm around To heal, to heal, to heal you now Open up my heart to see you start to shed, release My hands on a rail, it's like Love was a thing I used to think I had enough Sure I guess that I was tough, tough When you were gone I swear I found what was wrong My heart it burned to become strong There was a time when you were lost and I denied What you wanted and I was blind Blood on my hands I understand what I've done To myself and everyone Everyone Everyone I look to the sky and drowned my hands up in the night I don't, I don't, don't know why Love was the sum of everything that I was You're beautiful and I was numb It looks like life is like building bricks And equally fragile it's smashed to bits Blood on my hands I understand what I've done To myself and everyone Everyone Everyone

A Little Bug 04:07
lyrics
buy track
Kept singing underneath Breathing when I breath Breathing when I breath Sometimes I give a damn Sometimes I give a damn Then I'm indifferent Once when I was young I smashed a little bug And I burst into tears Oh I burst into tears I killed the smallest life that I had inside That I had inside Last night I dreamed about Tornadoes came and smashed My home and you and me Family is nothing but This far-gone part of me Invisible to see You seem so happy now You seem so happy now Your feet are on the ground Once when I was young Once when I was young I held a little bug Insignificant as us Insignificant as us

Like I Was Alive 03:20
lyrics
buy track
All I feel is like I was alive And then I guess I died You were always there for me Just there for me when I can't see Well what's the point of hangin' on To broken hearts and gloomy dawns Abrasive and frustrated I'm electric tape Electromagnetic to your body shape Serrated and contained in an electric state I'm electromagnetic to your body shape All the voices in my head Were nothing more than just a string Runnin' through my brain was driving home To you, on every train Psychic conversations are no better than our expirations Abrasive and frustrated I'm electric tape Electromagnetic to your body shape Serrated and contained in an electric state I'm electromagnetic to your body shape Maybe, maybe, maybe I'm afraid to die Or maybe I'm another lie well Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' through my brain was Driving home to you on every train well Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' through my brain was Driving home to you on every train Waiting on the late phone call You're basically my only wall Take me far away from here To someplace that isn't here Runnin' through my brain was driving home To you on every train Runnin' through my brain was driving home To you on every train
