    This is one of the most exciting things I've done! Cassettes sound great, they look great, and they're a perfect collector's item (I made a small run of 40). In addition to a digital download of the album (download card with code included with item), you'll get:

    a 2-sided retro-lilac cassette with metallic 'rich gold' pad-print lettering in a clear case; gorgeous cover artwork by Mila Kapustina; and that warm fuzzy feeling of satisfaction when that cassette clicks into place and the music starts :)

    Made in conjunction with Bee-Side Cassettes - beesidecassettes.bandcamp.com

    Includes unlimited streaming of Violets via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

Dedicated to a friend, lost too soon.

lyrics

I read the papers yesterday
They're getting harder to ignore
Said that you're not here anymore

I couldn't believe it
I couldn't believe it
Guess what, nobody could

It's gonna take some time to clear it up
But the suits and all, they keep on dragging in the mud
I close my eyes, I hear you walking in the room

But I couldn't see you
But I couldn't see you
No I couldn't see you
Oh where, where have you gone now?

Seems all we have is all we get and all we get is older
And we take photographs that last as long as we can hold them
And we take photographs but last I saw, you wore a different face
I tried so hard not to forget you, but when I'm feeling lonely
It's getting harder now to shake the sinking feeling that

It could've been easy
It could've been easy
It could've been easy
But look, look where we are now

I played your message on the phone
I was supposed to see you, you asked me when I was coming home
It's been ten weeks, but all the words, they never change

I wish it were easy
I wish it were easy
But it's nobody's fault
