S.C.A.B
LP/Album
A nostalgic collection of melodic reflections on New York City and its residents, the sentiments that its sights and sounds conjure, the harsh light reflecting off office buildings, the smell of sewer gas escaping from the vents in manhole covers, the coo of pigeons resting on a balcony above your apartment at night, the taste of a cold beer in the park on a summer afternoon- the ghosts of past selves that live one, trapped in the dimensions of our senses and chained to our memories. A lonely walk home after work. The specials at the bar on the night your ex-girlfriend told you she was moving out and going back to school. Getting off the bus at the wrong stop. A train car on fire. A distant tragedy. A closely held triumph. An echo from your future, arriving to warp the present and reorder the past. Things you do for others. Things you do just for yourself. The realization that there is a wound in a hidden place on your person that is always healing, and will be for as long as blood flows beneath the hot glue of your plaster-mask skin. Never better, but getting better. The sky is so blue today.
* I'm writing a different and fresh album review every day in March inspired by a different and fresh color. Today's color sky blue inspired my review of S.C.A.B's album because of how much sky is visible on the cover. It's really stupendous! I feel like I could just jump into it and fall upwards forever and disappear into infinity.
