lyrics
All the yawning, fawning my head adorns
The poet’s curse is loving like a metaphor
Don’t like it one bit more
You look pretty when you’re bored
Carried ennui on our way back down
Piqued my interest though trying to suss out
A jester from a clown
A gesture or a sound
All these french diseases of the heart
The malaisy daydream seemed so profound
The meaning was lost as it trickled out
The umbrage makes you frown
Guess I’ll see you around
Buy it, sell it
More than you can afford
Eat the sweet flesh
Leave the apple core
Keep your ear to the floor
An open cellar door
All these french diseases of the heart
All these french diseases of the heart
Desire to dismantle me
Figure me for a mantle piece
I just need a prescription please
For all these french diseases of the heart
All these french diseases of the heart

This record was recorded by my friend Micah under similar circumstances as Apple Core (and with similar equipment). Playing with Micah this year inspired me deeply and this record feels like home. Spencer Hoffman
This record is Ryan coming into his own as a producer. It's at once nostalgic and novel. It's your new best friend who it feels like you've known forever. Spencer Hoffman
Lou and I took frequent long walks together during the making of Apple Core and this record. It was one of the things that kept me sane during the pandemic. Lou is a gem and this record is primo. Spencer Hoffman
If you have a fondness for expertly wrought roots-rock with sharp lyrics and aching vocals, look no further—“Strangers” is for you. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 8, 2022
