You could cut those ties that had you strung up to your past, but you don’t. You got all that weight and all that stress, carrying time. Let it go. And if you tell a lie, oh, it echoes on. And if you cross a line, the line holds on. I wanna know… What does it sound like, ticking clocks, the metronome inside your head? Like bomb set to blow, heart beating in your chest, it’s a secret that you’ll keep again. You’ll level out the ground when the fucking thing explodes and your friends will have to bury it. You could live that dash or sit wait for the ending date to come. We work so hard, it goes so fast. We forget, become numb. And if you tell a lie, oh, it echoes on. And if you cross a line, the line holds on. I wanna know… What does it sound like, ticking clocks, the metronome inside your head? Like bomb set to blow, heart beating in your chest, it’s a secret that you’ll keep again. You’ll level out the ground when the fucking thing explodes and your friends will have to bury it. I wanna know if we’re getting out of here. Please make it clear.
I really appreciate this ep of sorts. La dispute never fails to surprise me and im a big fan. very meaningful words in this, I use it to relax. I definitely recommend this album. Ethan Goldrup
i dunno if i can put into words how much i ADORE la dispute's style, the music in Here, Hear. is so beautiful, it sounds god-like and mournful in a way, like something above humanity is trying to put its grief into words that humans will understand??? I LOVE IT roundestrow1et
great EP! i absolutely adore the way jordan narrates all these different people' stories -- he does it very gently and carefully. you can feel compassion through his voice. the instrumentation is also very calming and soothing, which adds up to the whole atmosphere of this album. gravewhistle
Aussie upstarts juxtapose tightly-wound post punk songwriting with nuanced production, jangling choruses, and heady jams. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2023
Terrific goth-y post-punk from Pittsburgh full of knifepoint guitars, threatening atmospheres, and vocals delivered with a scowl. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 10, 2022
Restless, agitated no wave for modern times built around razor-sharp guitar and roiling percussion from Jane Doe Ensemble. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2022
I love everything La Dispute have done as they have grown and blossomed creatively around Jordan's gut-punch michigan-dickensian prose, but this FUCKIN SONG. future wars dude. there might be songs that are technically louder or faster or whatever unfitting metric of weighing art is in vogue this year, THIS IS THE HARDEST SONG ON THE PLANET. THE HARDEST SONG. ON THE PLANET. it's only competitor within spitting distance is 'people you know' by DGD mancierge
