she came to you she came to you she came to you yeah I came to you in confidence You gave it to the alien intelligence I told you I was on the fence and now it seems like I was being negligent I wish that this was making sense my actions are a product of complete duress my life is such a fuckin' mess I can't believe I came to you in confidence won't you take me back to planet earth she came to you gemini you gotta kiss me first she never knew look at the stars I'm just past the crux she came to you I've been abducted guess that's just my luck oh yeah ah ha I've been abducted guess that's just my luck Oh baby can't you see baby can't you see deep into my mind, my mind it's easy if you try because I told you exactly what was on my mind look in my eyes I'll shower you in compliments in hopes that you could just embrace the elegance it may just seem like common sense but words are often stuck inside my head again so is this really impotence or should we just break up go back to being friends I wish I was more confident cuz now I feel like this is never gonna end won't you take me back to planet earth she came to you gemini you gotta kiss me first she never knew look at the stars I'm just past the crux she came to you I've been abducted guess that's just my luck I've been abducted guess that's just my luck I've been abducted guess that's just my luck I've been abducted guess that's just my luck I've been abducted guess that's just my luck guess that's just my luck been abducted guess that's just my luck been abducted guess that's just my luck been abducted guess that's just my luck ah ahhh ha ahhhh

Yeah I remember the day when the birds were singing the rain was falling the sun was shining down Yeah I remember the words that you spoke to me from the tops of the trees and your smile fell on me If you just gave me a chance I'd be on my way what a glorious day I would give my heart to you when the birds were singing the rain was falling when the birds were singing the rain was falling if you were mine if you were mine if you were mine if you were mine Yeah I remember the day when the birds were singing the rain was falling the sun was shining down Yeah I remember the words that you spoke to me from the tops of the trees and your smile fell on me If you would come my way I would love to please you oh, how I need you I'd never feel the same when the birds were singing the rain was falling when you were mine when you were mine when you were mine when you were mine I try to caress you I try to impress you I try I try everything that you wanted me to do we only descend to rise won't you try you got me floatin' won't you try you got me floatin' won't you try you got me floatin' we only descend to rise you got me floatin' we only descend to rise you got me floatin' we only descend to rise won't you try you got me floatin' won't you try won't you try you got me floatin' won't you try you got me floatin' won't you try

about

If the sounds on Seam of Expectation had a physical embodiment, it would be swimming. You’re underwater in a pool, looking up as the light dances across the surface. It seems so close, so you reach up, missing a few times before you suddenly break through.

The album has only nine songs but clocks in at 47 minutes, and I couldn’t be happier about it. The longer length of the tracks—over seven minutes at the max—allows The Psychsomatics to grow their sound, letting it warp throughout the listening experience. Given that I love psych-rock bands like the Grateful Dead who are known for their 20-minute-plus jams, I might be biased. Even if that’s not your thing, I seriously urge you to give Seams of Expectation a try. Fluid-changing sounds keep the entire album moving underneath my fingertips, and allow for evolution within each song itself. -Alexis Perno SLUG magazine
