Time it just right. Get out alive. Model lives I learned to despise. We could never run from true love. Tie me to the single bed frame. Please nurse. Keep me from my teenage motivations. Beat the moral terror from my sockets. Closing in on feeling less than nothing. My own life I learned to despise. A numb collage of throwaways. My own life I learned to despise.

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego

Toronto band Respire deliver a post-hardcore tour de force on the largest scale possible, orchestrally rich and incessantly uncompromising. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 6, 2021
