Sing me to sleep
I don't care if your voice is out of tune
I only care that it comes from you, so
Where did you go?
Other voices sound the same
And all their words just sound so plain, so
I will find you
Just in the nick of time
Waiting for me
Underneath the power lines that
Only appear when the moment's right, so
I watch time go by
I'm counting down days just one by one
I know I said what's done was done, but
Mephisto and I
We just can't decide
I will find you
Just in the nick of time
Waiting for me
Underneath the power lines that
Only appear when the moment's right, so

Remember when we met in Chicago
A long time ago?
The wind was at our backs
As you drew up your coat
I didn't want you to go
So I called out your name
But as you turned around
The streetlights whisked you away
Without a sound
And she said
No, I don't wanna leave this town
Remember when we met in Chicago
Twenty-nine years ago?
Our lives were both the same
Nothing had changed yet
How was I supposed to know?
And I called out your name
But as you turned around
The streetlights whisked you away
Without a sound
And she said
No, I don't wanna leave this town
Without you in tow
She said
No, no I don't wanna leave you now

Out on the docks
She watches the sun come out
On deck chairs
On her back porch
We watch as the moon goes down
Yeah her brother's still lost at sea
Off Mackinac Island too
Out on the town
She asks if anyone's seen him around
Off the highway
A picnic in her white car
I shield her eyes from the sandbar
Yeah her brother's still lost at sea
Off Mackinac Island too

Popped a match on a dashboard
Watched you light a cigarette
I guess summer nights in Brooklyn
Are as good as it's ever gonna get
Took awhile for you to catch on
I thought I made it crystal clear
If things are gonna get better
It's gonna happen west of here
Looks like you were just a myth
You can reach me at Waverly & 6th
Packed a bag by the staircase
I kinda wish that you'd begged me to stay
It didn't seem like you noticed
It didn't seem like you were afraid
Looks like you were just a myth
You can reach me at Waverly & 6th
Looks like we were both a myth
You can reach me at Waverly & 6th

Hounds Before Lions recommends:
It's Yohuna. Kind of like Grimes at times but at the core it's just good lo-fi pop.

This is the first record we listened to together as a band. More good lo-fi vibes in here.

Market, from Melbourne, fuse soul and chillwave on a wonderfully woozy song with rubbery guitars & breathy harmonies.

These four songs from Melbourne-based Market are low-lit and soothing, soft vocals swaddled in tender guitar lines.

Meticulously-crafted productions provide the backdrop for haunting, slowly-winding vocals on this gloriously shadowy EP.
