Not gonna lie, I’m terrified by made-up minds that can’t decide.
They’re free of wit and full of spite telling me what’s wrong and right.
When I can’t swim against the tide and charity might not survive, you arrive just in time to rescue this heart of mine.
Don’t fall into the trap again.
Your confidence won’t help you win hearts and minds.
And they’ll never compromise because they can't fail if they don’t try.
See their faces flush with pride, their sanctimony multiplied.
All kindness lost and trust denied.
They’re brittle shells, empty inside.
I hope that hope can be revived to satisfy these hearts and minds.
You’re falling in the trap my friend.
You don’t know when to say when.
Don’t fall into the trap again.
Your confidence won’t help you win hearts and minds.

Every time I listen to this sprawling work, I hear something new. It's dense and beautiful, silly and poignant, with groovy juxtapositions of surprising noise and rhythms likely to induce entrainment. art.dmg
This was my gateway into the world of Beauty Pill. I think they are the finest band our city has produced and each of their uniquely different albums is excellent. This was the one that made me a fan. art.dmg
Jane Weaver’s work is uniformly excellent and I’m smitten with her dreamy take on pulsing psychedelia. It’s the perfect blend of proggy retrofuturism and experimental pop. art.dmg
