jenna lafleur i'm nothing if not a sucker for catchy queer punk rock, and this absolutely satisfies. Favorite track: End of the World.

phonebox One of the best releases of 2020 hands down, and a strong contender on my best of the decade list so far. A shining beacon during a really tough year. So hard to pick a favourite track. GET THIS ALBUM! Favorite track: What Comes Next?.

Do we multiply? 2050 isn’t getting any further away. I found a nice house in the Bay. We could go there but there’s fire and earthquakes. Do you think we should stay? I’m doing fine, do you think that you’d miss it? I’ve always wanted to live by the sea. Yeah the shore sounds nice but what about when the hurricane hits? What can I possibly say, is it me or the end of the world? Cover your eyes and ears and hope I don’t notice and nothing hurts. It must weigh on you a bit, but it’s not me that has to fix it. Could you just hold on to me for now? Set my sights on the life that you get when you put the hard work in. Only to be told, keep your fingers crossed that they vote you a person. I apologize; you’ve been trying to go with the safer bet. It’s true I didn’t think that far, but how do you plan for the death of a safety net? What can I possibly say, is it me or the end of the world? Cover your eyes and ears and hope I don’t notice and nothing hurts. It must weigh on you a bit, but it’s not me that has to fix it. Could you just hold on to me for now? What can I possibly say, is it me or the end of the world? Cover your eyes and ears and hope I don’t notice and nothing hurts. It must weigh on you a bit, but it’s not me that has to fix it. Could you just hold on to me somehow? Could you just hold on to me, hold on to now?

PWR CPLE 02:41
While you stay the life of the party I could take a long walk off a short pier. Every complaint is a nail in the coffin. I get it, you still hate it here. Sold my space at the warehouse. Left my things and just let it bleed out. I love the person you are to everyone else but this long, slow heartbreak is wearing me out. I said we’d figure it out, you said we’re a dream team. Get away from me. You hit the road whenever you want, come home and complain ‘bout all the things that I’m not. I was numb at first greeting. Left me like you found me. I’ve been there before so I can’t be shocked. We said we’d figure it out, you said we’re a dream team. Get away from me. We said we’d figure it out. You said we’d figure it out. We said we’d figure it out. You said we’re a dream team. Get away from me.

Big Feelings 03:27
An expert over-thinker in an Irish 4am, I am filled with whiskey words to run my mouth. Some midnight rain to push my luck, take my own cue to kick rocks. If you think I’ve gone too far, just hear me out. For the team I’ll take one, cause it’s better in the long run. Maybe I’ll wake up alone for the rest of my life, just sit next to me when I see you next time. I don’t want to risk it, sweetheart you know I’m not the gamblin’ type. Put my money on warm hearts and these feelings. I like big picture thinking. Late night drunken explanations. Who’re you calling ‘darlin’? Watch me roll my eyes. It’s a terrible idea. You know I’m married to my work. But I’ve got space to miss you all the time.

Feels like I lost something. Left it off to the side, let it slip down the sink. Like I’ve been lifting weights. When you take it away, I’m prepared for anything. If we’re being honest I was not cut out to take out. Now a lighter left hand ain’t so bad cause I make a terrible boyfriend. I make a terrible boyfriend. Feels like I miss something. Stop my mind running wild, never letting me think. Notice me losing weight. Tell yourself that I’m fine, got a lot on your mind. But if we’re being honest I was not cut out to take you. Now a lighter left hand ain’t so bad cause I make a terrible boyfriend. I make a terrible boyfriend.

Just let me have the fun that I want. Just let me have the fun that I want. On the balcony of the Empress Hotel, throw me into the seaside wind. Remember post-war boardwalk queers and greasers. Splinters, salt and sand. If it’s a party you’re after, you won’t always get that from me. I’m perfectly happy to lay in the sun and a master at leaning against things. Just let me have the fun that I want. Just let me have the fun that I want. Such a comfortable feeling. Stumbling down the hallway just above a disco beat. I just came here looking for family. Blame it on the queens that told me stories. Elbows on the railing is more my speed than battling the surf, go on without me. If it’s a party you’re after, you won’t always get that from me. I’m perfectly happy to lay in the sun and a master at leaning against things. Just let me have the fun that I want. Just let me have the fun that I want. I’m just treading water. Sometimes standing still just gets me farther.

Curious 03:05
It’s hard to avoid the voices from a giant billboard. Followed from the subway in a neighborhood I can’t afford. How long can you go before the needle starts to move? Must be something to it, maybe they’ve got answers too. Fall prey to curiosity. Give all my money to the big blue building. I just need answers some of the time. Do you think it’s working? Do you think it’s working? Make me believe that my disconnected friends won’t save me. Tell them all my secrets for the sake of some big true identity. Maybe someday I will reach a tone you can’t refuse. Not until they break me, and they’re coming after you.

It’s not the cause, it’s a symptom. It’s a bruise that stays till you will it away. Nothing new, came before my time. There’s a lot to unlearn, get out before it burns. From deep in my guts to the back of my throat, getting the sense that the game has been thrown. Easy to blame as you watch the unraveling. Easy to see what you want at the time. As the world sings its final refrain between give up and never again I have all the luck I need. All the luck I need. Granted a wish, what’d it be? Spare me the bullshit of food and world peace. Rushing toward the wall at full speed. Sit back and watch you forget the real enemy. It’s rational when there’s no consequence. Why be afraid, you can BS your way. Mess with a hive that you least expect as I quietly scream “get your hands off of me.”

Enough 03:17
Tired of being first place at second best. You’d think that by now I’d be used to it. I’d try to explain but it’s complicated. “No, that’s totally fine, yeah, I totally get it.” If you’re paying attention doesn’t take long for people to show you who they are. I hope you hear my name and wanna turn away. Not feeling guilty, but do you think you should be? Can I get something right? Not about me, it’s just too much. One day I’m gonna feel enough. Tired of being first place at second best Thought you’d never come back every time that you left. You think I just gave up, I should’ve walked away. When you bought a bigger bed to sleep further away. Wasn’t paying attention. Didn’t take long for you to show me who you are. I hope you hear my name and wanna turn away. Not feeling guilty, but do you think you should be? Can I get something right? Not about me, it’s just too much. One day I’m gonna feel enough. Wasn’t paying attention. Doesn’t take long for people to show you who they are I hope you hear my name and wanna turn away. Not feeling guilty, but do you think you should be? Can I get something right? Not about me, it’s just too much. One day I’m gonna feel enough. Enough. Enough’s enough.

I wrote about you a long time ago. Have you found any old pictures of me? Somewhere in a sketchbook or on a 16-track in jersey. And it’s a familiar thing I’m feeling when the porch lights solo out like all my friends in high school listening to Why Bother way too loud, and still, I thought about you a long time ago. Had a feeling you were thinking of me. Things I thought I knew before. Things I thought would always haunt me. And it’s a familiar thing I’m feeling when I hold you long enough The fear I’ll wake to empty space I can’t take by myself Where were you, I built this big house just for me. I fought and won the war on fear of being lonely. I was easily scared off and now I just don’t promise much But I wanna fill the room with a relentless noise. It makes me sick, I do it every time. It makes me sick, I do it every time. It makes me sick, I do it every time. It makes me sick, it makes me…

Walking near the water I can see the very spot you said you would. Then you got drunk and all our friends, said don’t you dare fuck this up. So this is how it goes. And this is how I walk now. This is how the weight feels. Will I ever sleep well? In a perfect world we’d be in jeans, we’d be in tshirts, be in love. If I cared enough, I’d be distraught like I used to be, like I always was. So this is how it goes, so this is how I walk now. So this is how you fade out. And this is how you sleep well. So this is how it goes and this is how I walk out. Things will never heal well some things I can’t remember. So this is how it feels and this is how you fade out. So happy fuckin’ new year. We’re alive but I want back my life, the years, the hope.
