Delicate and wounded, mostly instrumentals based on carefully layered electronic loops, sweeping strings and glitched beats — an immersive sound experience, delivered with care.
Favorite track: So Dark Blinking Makes No Difference no. 2 (minimal).
It’s like all the best trip hop albums could be refracted through a kaleidoscope. And that’s not saying the album has nothing new to offer. It’s compelling from start to finish. Grooves and unsettles in the best way.
Favorite track: JTS Study no. 1.

some folks lives roll easy as a breeze drifting through a summer night
heading for a sunny day
but most folks lives... they stumble
lord, they fall
through no fault of their own, most folks never catch their stars
here I am lord, I'm knocking at your place of business
I know I ain't got no business here
but you said if I ever got so low I was busted
you could be trusted
some folks lives roll easy
some folks lives never roll at all
lord they just fall
they just fall
some folks lives
when comes the shaking man
a nation in his eyes
striped with blood and emblazed tattoo
streaking cathedral spire
they say he has no brain
they say he has no mood
they say he was born again
they say look at him climb
they say jump
they say he has two gods
they say he has no fear
they say he has no eyes
they say he has no mouth
they say hey that's really something
they feel he should get some time
i say he should watch his ass
my friend don't listen to the crowd
they say jump
got to believe somebody
got to believe

TPUNK064. Sorry You're Here — Select recordings from the score to Taffety Punk's suicide.chat.room. CONTENT WARNING: This album is a soundtrack to a dance play that deals very frankly and unflinchingly with the topic of suicide. The artistic choices undergirding the music were made to suit the themes and contours of the play. The play is upsetting and explicit, the soundtrack less so. The music is significantly more abstract and impressionistic. However, we strongly advise against exposing anyone under age or similarly vulnerable to this music. For more details about the work that went into the production and why the artists created it, please see Marcus Kyd's artistic statement (4th photo above).
You are not alone. If you are having thoughts of suicide please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741. For more information on how to help yourself or a loved one please visit suicidepreventionlifeline.org or afsp.org/find-support

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
Oliver Rhodes, aka Paracusia, captures a spectrum of moods from dreamy nostalgia to wiry anxiety on this EP of highly textural bass music. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 9, 2021
