Joshua Reid Something about this wonderful album evokes the image of people with full hearts roaming through empty spaces. Listening to it makes me feel like the ghost of a pretty thing. Highest reccomendation. Favorite track: Chronic.

Jeoffrey Owen I can only hope to see this band play live one day. I found this a little late after its release. It doesn't stick to one genre but excels at all of them. It effortlessly transitions and flows between styles melding them making each song uniquely their own. There in no weak songs and this release is solid from top to bottom. Each song is highly enjoyable and even after repeated listens doesn't get boring, with plenty to still discover and enjoy. Still sounds fresh for being released about a year and a half ago. I can only hope there is more to come from these guys. Super talented worth the price to add to your collection. Favorite track: Aquamarine.

Nicholas Garcia withershins are big and beautiful, and 'mt fuji' really puts that model into good practice. as someone who's wrestled with the "do i write gorgeous music or do i write loud music" dichotomy, this kind of record is infuriatingly good. it runs deep and dense, but it's warm and personal too- or that's how it feels to me. so many songs on this record run far in excess of five minutes but they float by as though they're three-minute pop songs. it's a record worth owning and definitely worth sharing. Favorite track: An Amateur Chemist.

Aquamarine 04:18
You're frustrated, ‘cause you've hated how They'll not shut up enough to listen. Your patience is waning now, Unsure if you're forgiven. I’ll stick around This time. You're facing estrangement and strangleholds, But you'll not give up. Your patience is waning now... The waiting takes its toll. I'll stick around Until my heart gives out. Frustrated ‘cause you're hated now: You'll not shut up enough to listen. Your patience is waning now, But you'll not give up. I'll stick around This time, Until my heart gives out.

I was a teenage alchemist- Nothing that could not be fixed. Mixed it up, got it twisted. You get enough...The body listens. You must give it up If you want to get some love. I’ve figured out what it’s all about: The heart was made to break. So hold on; it won’t be long... Someone will come to save us, Right?

We can’t get away. We can’t get away now, They won’t let us out: We can’t get away. We can’t get away. We can’t get away. They won’t let us out now, So i can’t take you home.

Chronic 06:31
Anywhere that you go, I will find you; Wherever you go, I will follow you there. Just try and get some sleep... Just try and make me leave. And I’ll take you home... Just you and me alone.

Moss God 02:50
A Japanese Man once said to me, “Find a point of view And make it work for you.” Make it work. Immanuel sure Is a gracious lord: He has promised me Years of sowing wheat. And there is a god, But he’s made of moss. He swings down from trees Blessing those who sneeze.

All You Need 05:33
I’m sorry; I’m almost home. I’ve already told you no, So - let go. It’s harder to never know. It’s easier when it shows that you’re all alone. You’re already halfway there. Just pretend that you really care: Lie like a prayer It’s over and done somewhere. (It) doesn’t matter if it is fair - (It’s) beyond repair. (And) All I need is you to leave; and all I am is... I’m already on my way. (So) Gather your things and wait. Yes, you can stay. All we need is everything. All I am is just a

Images of rot and decay Keep falling into my head And pushing back out; But what comes from my mouth Is vibrantly green And beautiful - living. I don't mean to sound sappy. But I love the way life can be. I've been told that it don't matter, ‘Cause we're already gone... Images of growth and formation Falling into my head And pushing back out; But what comes from my mouth Is violently green And beautifully dying. I don't mean to be shitty, But I love the pain life can bring. I've been told that it don't matter... ‘Cause we're already gone.

You've started a war That you will never win. Just let it go. We're losing ourselves, But we won't let you Take control. Take, take all you can. The keeper’s gone mad with greed - Delusional. Treat, treat us like dogs, But stay hidden behind Coward's clothes. Your time has come; It's harder and harder to hide What you've done. We're waking up; Everyone's hearing the bell: It rings so loud. You don't know how wrong you are.

STFU or GTFO 02:18
Fold your arms, Your armor’s harmed. Lucky star, Your art is charm. Cross your legs, But watch your wrist. How have you Gotten away with It for so long? It shows when you walk; (But) it’s not your fault, Now is it? Wash your mouth - You’ve done it now. Haven’t you Always wanted out?
10.
Are you offering now? ‘Cause I’ll take it. Are you honest with me? Are you honest? I'll remain in your eyesight, But i am hiding now. You'll remain in my mind, love, But I can't take you home; You know I just won't go. Well, you give 'em hell, now... I won't take it anymore. Were you honest with me? Are you honest? I'll remain in your eyesight, But i am hiding now. You'll remain in my mind, love, But I can't take you home; You know I just won't go.
11.
In the sky we wait We fall to our fates Leaving ground. We're fleeing now. Receiving the glow within the sound. Everyone is in their place, And you know we can be the same. They will recognize your name. Leaving ground. We're fleeing now. Receiving the glow within the sound.
12.
Are you good for it? Are you good for me? Did you mean it When you were mean to me? What are we waiting around for? What are we waiting around for now? What are we waiting around for? Why are we waiting? Are you good for it? Are you good for me? Can you prove it, That you were moved by me? What are we waiting around for? What are we waiting around for now? What are we waiting around for?
