Notes

  • Across The Pacific was not included on the vinyl release, likely due to album duration. It was instead included on a separate 7" release along with the B-side I'm Not Sad Anymore.

Description

The outmoded name of what now appears as a red heart in the emoji alphabet - a holdover from the solid black ASCII heart character. The idea of misinterpretation through "legacy support" obsolescence. The fear of abandonment, or worse, being patronized long after losing relevance - and yet trying to savor all the joy that comes between youth and death. A cautious celebration, with the surreal dread of existence permeating from a colorful emotional core.
