Lyrics:
Tell me if I’m wrong
But you seem oh so lost
It’s your smile that betrays you
Your eyes lag behind you
You tell me it’s all wrong
And there’s no peace in forgiveness
I have no questions to ask you
I have no answers to give you
Tell me that I’m wrong
I won’t pretend to know your secrets
Tell me as much as you want to
I won’t chase every avenue
You tell me nothing’s wrong
I’ll make no promise I believe it
If it’s love that could save you
wrapped in me I will keep you
Please push right through
All the platitudes
And my fumbling attempts to make them new
And steel yourself through the silence
I can’t bear it either
I have no words to set you free
And you want love
But can’t feel so much
What we think we’ve found
It doesn’t sound like love
And you want love
But can’t feel so much
This thing we think we’ve found
It doesn’t sound like love
Don’t feel like it’s been long
Guess I can’t be a salve to your sadness
I hope you find where the sun glows
On the dew on your raincoat
Maybe you’ll hum along
Sing out a line every dozen
Tap out the twos and the fours through
the warm ceramic you cling to
Maybe you’ll be home
Among the skyscrapers and people
where your demons have curfews
A great centrifuge to distil you
Don’t think too hard
We’re all broken anyway
And you don’t need to explain
Or trace the path back that way
There’s nothing to learn
And nothing to be gained
And you want love
But can’t feel so much
This thing we think we’ve found
It doesn’t sound like love
And you want love
But can’t feel so much
This thing we thought we’d found
It never felt like love
Maybe you’ll get gone
Pack up and leave for the oceans
At last put peace in your purview
The water comes up to meet you

Entirely analog, lush melodic pop with a tender heart from L.A. artist Human Barbie sounds bigger than the bedroom project it is. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 22, 2020
The Seams' jangly pop is full of lovely melodic twists and elegant turns-of-phrases delineating the quotidian details of love and romance. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2018

Less obviously shoegazey than the debut, but has a really abrasive industrial or post punk feel which contrasts well with the vocals. Reminds me of Curve or maybe early Cocteaus. Lovely stuff howa776
