I could swear that I did see you changing shapes in front of me. I rubbed eyes and grabbed my heart. I shook my head then fell apart. Wonder now, was it a dream? It felt so real, but now it seems I’ve lost my sense. How the hell did you get by? Can’t lose ever night to asking, “why?” Evolve, progress, it’s to survive. But I shake and I stumble now how did I? Broken spirit and betrayed trust. Apologies and cover ups. Something new coming over me. I cannot speak but now I see I’ve lost my sense. How the hell did you get by? Can’t spend every night asking, “why?” Thinking deeply, I’ve arrived here at this point now feeling sure of what happens now, what happens next. Distilled the truth that’s all that’s left. And I don’t think I’m gonna run no more. When I say it stops here, then hey man it stops here. Oh I mean it’s got to stop here. No more.
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
