about

Emerging from the depths of heartbreak and reminiscence, "Bleeding Heart & Hyacinth" embarks on a journey of renewal and healing, guided by the tender flames of a newfound love. The narrative unfolds with "Forever Seaborne," a poignant metaphor of a sailor adrift in a vast, windless ocean, yearning for a distant shore, echoing the emptiness lingering long after a love's demise.

A pivotal shift occurs in the second track, "Give Me a Chance," a heartfelt plea to a blossoming romance. This song marks a departure from the desolation of "Forever Seaborne," infusing the narrative with a renewed sense of passion and hope. The album gracefully traverses this path, exploring the depths of this newfound affection with poetic ardor.

"Bleeding Heart & Hyacinth" and "Bottle Time" delve into the intricacies of this burgeoning love, weaving tales of longing and admiration. The album also embraces a cover of "Forest Sounds" from A Sunken Ship Irony's latest LP, "Flower Crown." This track paints a vivid picture of desolate forest nightscapes, its chorus resonating with the question, "Is it okay that I miss you when we don't speak?"

In the playful confession of "Hot," the protagonist unabashedly expresses their attraction for their newfound love, declaring, "Everything about you is hot." "Honey Medicine" draws upon the intoxicating power of affection, describing it as a sweet and potent elixir.

"Candle & Match" and "Rollercoaster" continue the theme of clandestine admiration, as the protagonist pours their heart out through heartfelt confessions. The album culminates with "You Are Whole," a powerful declaration that their love interest is not broken, but rather complete and whole.
