White Rabbit 03:52
So I go With the flow And I don't Wanna know Where you go When I'm home Living fast Falling slow When I drove to your house Never did I once think Walking all of those stairs Two months All the text that I sent And the time that I spent I just wish that you’d been More blunt And you said you weren’t giving out excuses, explanations But the truth is you that made me time-robbed Now I’m late I’m late I’m late and I’ve always been delayed So I’m really not that sorry bout your laptop So I go With the flow And I don't Wanna know Where you go When I'm home Living fast Falling slow Just cut to the chase Say it straight to my face Don't need no Masquerade All my tears in a row Just the way that it goes When we play Dominoes When you left me in the city, all alone looking silly And my eyes were getting misty on my best dress Put my gown in a casket, not a princess in a palace Looking glass just like Alice — a severe mess So I go With the flow And I don't Wanna know Where you go When I'm home Living fast Falling slow Drink you like medicine Just like the label said Growing and shrinking A rubber band Go through a tiny door Into a bigger world Rigid to whimsical From straight to slant So I go With the flow And I don't Wanna know Where you go When I'm home Living fast Falling slow

Spiral 04:17
Spiraling down  Shampoo scratch my head think again conditioner time Spiraling down  phone call text message handwritten letter do you have the Time moves in weird ways years months weekdays  stream of consciousness more like a Tide of things i’m missin’ Channels always flippin’ Color television  Tired of being honest  Lies leak like a faucet  flaking nail polish  chip drip slip  Spiraling out Glass carafes and coffee grounds on cracking counters but who’s counting Spiraling out Walk five blocks, ride the train for three stops only to arrive at work Late -ly Got two jobs work round the clock to fill a broken mug, to stop me One-dering what he’s thinking Blurring up my vision Idle premonition Getting in my practice Creaking on the mattress When I need distraction Tick tock toss Spiraling down — Spiraling out Spiraling down (down down down) Spiraling out (out out out) Spiraling down Wake up wash my face floss brush my teeth ev’ry day rinse and repeat

My dear: I’ve come to some conclusions about all of the confusion That I’ve been feeling as of late My dear: Something in me shattered; I’ve been living stale patterns And I can’t bear to stay You see: I did my dirty laundry; threw together my belongings Not much I need to keep You see: I’ve bought an extra ticket in the case it’s of your interest To come and join me— Lately I’ve been feeling like a country in a country Don’t think I want this city anymore O carino mio, meet me on the hill in San Marino When we leave our lonely sheets will smell of bergamot and clove My love: Yours is not the kind of problem we can keep on solving With bandaids on broken knees My love: I would never govern your desire to discover It’s not about wants — it’s about needs Now I see the castle in the distance on the cliff and From this point on my footsteps mirror yours O carino mio, meet me on the hill in San Marino When we sleep our dizzy dreams will look like the new life we know No routines to guide our thoughts — just barefoot walks and window shops No systems keeping score O carino mio, meet me on the hill in San Marino When we leave our lonely sheets will smell of bergamot and clove O carino mio, meet me on the hill in San Marino When we sleep our dizzy dreams will look like the new life we know

Plane to train to streetcar kind of day When your jellyfish eyes re-met my teal suitcase Speak too often of how friendship fades More guarantee over time that it might stay So you can come to my coffin club If you stay very still Meet in the evening 12 AM Popsicles and Benadryl Morning run ‘round the neighborhood Made you climb the steep hill just so I could Ink pens and blankets on the rooftops Knew we’d be late when the oven turned off A real <3 may be shaped like a fist It’s harder to love in the face of resistance If you let me have a crack at your puzzle eyes Think of all the pieces I just might find So you can come to my coffin club If you stay very still Meet in the evening 12 AM Popsicles and Benadryl Popsicles and Benadryl Trust — ha — I never met her Grew up on life vests, landlines and unanswered letters Some devils are better than others Jumped through flaming hoops and now we’re better than ever Trust, I’m a beginner Gonna keep losing till one day I’m a winner It’s always the end until it isn’t See you again if fate permits it

about

To us, “Coffin Club” is more than a collection of boundary-pushing alt-pop: it’s half history and half prophecy. After meeting at a creative writing summer camp almost ten years ago, Natalie and I combined our disparate musical backgrounds: her classical guitar and folk storytelling met my history in queer electropop, and this is what was born. Throughout the four tracks, “Coffin Club” takes the listener on an odyssey of the madness, confusion, and catharsis of trying to connect with others, from the mournful and folky “Spiral,” featured on BBC Introducing, to the raucous and funky “White Rabbit,” and beyond. The EP culminates in the explosive “Popsicles and Benadryl,” a gloomy declaration of hope.
