Let me know I’ll watch you grow No I can’t stop back on a canyon And I can’t stop back on a mountain Let me know Let me know When I go Push comes to show And they know That I can’t stop back on a canyon And I can’t stop back on a mountain Let me know Let me know

In the grey area I have felt heavier But my colors won’t come through Just like you have and always do In the grey here to stay I try to paint myself away But I can’t it’s all wrong Just like when you try and force a song And you can leave with your anger and it’s never understood Getting mad like you would And nobody told you that you wanted to make your own way Stay the course hit replay Hit replay I have held onto a universal must then again we are all Yes we’re all stardust And though I can’t understand how I fall where I land I am ground and sometimes I am even air bound And you can leave with your anger and it’s never understood Getting mad’s never good And nobody told you that you wanted to make your own way Stay the course hit replay Hit replay And nobody told you that you wanted to make your own way Stay the course In the grey area I have felt heavier But my colors won’t come through Just like you have and always do

Skinny white boy why you comb your hair? With the rebels down South do you feel better there? How can I dream if I can’t sleep? Skinny white boy my city’s dug deep We come around once again Six pipers pending posts and prints You kept me happy its what I’ve gained Relatively speaking it’s all the same Felicity city Felicity city City life motion keeps us quiet But what makes us loud is it the flow? I build my beast my days desired Skinny white boy who’s on the go We come around once again Six pipers pending posts and prints You kept me happy its what I’ve gained Happiness can drive a man insane Felicity city Felicity city

Walking back through this door I let myself hang low And then I carry carry on With my mind all slow and I think you’re good In Kelly’s Eyes In Kelly’s Island In Kelly’s Eyes In Kelly’s Eyes now for me You can never hate on the ones you love Unless of course they come back through and fuck all your shit up I think you’re good In Kelly’s Eyes In Kelly’s Island In Kelly’s Eyes In Kelly’s Eyes now for me I think you’re good In Kelly’s Eyes In Kelly’s Island

Autumn Thursdays pass by In a slow familiar time And it goes without saying An unspoken hiatus You left me all alone On the corner with the telephone What words were to remain? The feelings not the same And it goes without saying An unspoken hiatus You left me here with a smile on my face Though I never really had the chance to complicate my common place So I left things where they stand Autumn Thursdays bring it down in the Fall It's hard to believe what I see What I hear not at all And it goes without saying An unspoken hiatus You left me here with a smile on my face Though I never really had the chance to complicate my common place

There was a time when I could recognize The things we had the things we shared when we looked into, into each other’s eyes. But another days begun and I am done trying to despite everything that I… …I’ve always been a drifter running back to you Even though you’ve pushed me away my word was always true. It’s always hard to see why things don’t last And I am scared to see how the future may become, may become the past. And though you’ve tried to prove it all to me I just don’t see things the same which is why I… …I know it’s hard to see this when we’re only left to stray. Our paths are always different but the search is always the way. Who am I to blame this? It’s something I can’t find. Through the course of time. My dearest boy I’ve tried to help the cause But I have searched and often lost. Despite everything you’ve done for me. Cause no one can teach. No one can teach you to see.

about

"Combines 90s lo-fi indie rock with elements of psych pop. Jangly, ethereal guitars sway back and forth between deep powerful piano and a breezy, coastal vocal melody." - Paste Magazine

"A robust collection of instrumentals emanating warmth brings us into the track, shortly followed by Lehner’s ethereal voice." - Impose

"Mixing the moodiness of grunge elements, the surf beach sounds of California and the distortions found in shoegaze the band was not afraid to make an album that feels like a nod to the past while also feeling very fresh and new. The wall of sound that is created within the songs is atmospheric, lush; sometimes the sound feels bigger than the room you will be in whilst listening to it. Transport Paradise has this quiet brilliance about it, without being pretentious and alienating." - WordKrapht

"sounds like something you’d enjoy on a long drive" - KALW

"Their wave-washed melodies shake, pan, and wobble gently around an anchored groove, like low-tide ripples against a buoy. Compliments to the sun-bathing seals for the added stability." - Milk Crater
