you're so beautifuk eyes like gravel, wanna travel into your crux young and so inane adolescent incandescent seminal fling scratch on the wall oh your february scant with unforeseeable drawl staple the found bury the crown down down into a mountain-less gown you are such a shame a quiet inhibition fixed to fancy the flame literary stop youre a debutante depicted in my memory loss tie up the stems so cold and privileged with all these symphony trends spell out the mess cause all my secrets are expenses and ive worn out amends bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah

au revoir 03:30
kids with no feet, a (rose) without hands and my dainty dainty plans folded oh so neatly behind the bend trouble it seems, too fair at the least i've got all reasons to believe things are withering oh so terribly love, ive had a vision of your crippling reform its paper thin assembled at the thorn kings without drugs, teens without smugs the make up is by far the only color that remains awhile poseurs and crimes, awash in their spell the candy talks like hosts smitten with their own derivative love, ive had a vision of your crippling reform its paper thin assembled at the thorn love, i've had a vision of your gentle au revoir unstable and such temperamental lore

walk blind, no more spirits keel the camera and dampen up the segue-way to the sun mirror ball, shake and call fever drapes across the traces of your lingering applause strip and stall, pair the tragedies unfurnished in their absence with your terminal report we stumble recklessly spun our neighbors boredom praise devoid of any uniform

about

BRC-01//

this is the first official balloons record. i hope you enjoy it.

you can watch the video for 1974 on youtube:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvYZsIUreHU

get the video free with purchase of the album.

Sounding like Mark Lanegan circa Screaming Trees fronting Crooked Rain-era Pavement, this is a pretty solid debut LP, filled with poppy post-punk anthems and slacker ballads. Listen to tracks like "1974"or "Worst Ideas"and try not to imagine Spike Jonze or Richard Linklater directing the music video. Good stuff. - Seth Combs (SDCitybeat Great Demo Review 2012)

It sounded like pawn shop guitars, dirty fuzz, movies from the 50's, The better parts of Dinosaur Jr., Early Yo La Tengo, Sonic Youth, and drunk sex. - Phil aka thebeerjesus formerly of Kera & the Lesbians
