I've noticed, I've noticed a clash between our coast it's
it's mostly bragadocious puffed up claims and sugar coated
it's east coast, ivy league coast
west coast / best coast but between those
they don't see another option: one more coast that feels forgotten
That might be how it goes
the long shot layin' low
but those who know me know
I'm like the gulf coast
I'm like the gulf coast, cut me some slack
I don't have fancy marketing or radio ads
I'm like the gulf coast: unsure and it shows
no I don't boast, I'm like the gulf coast
Real talk I bought into the drama
the nonstop assault by all the
west coast tech bros and east coast egos
don't you have some thing else to say?
the old catch phrase feelin' so cliché
their merch can make you an ad display
when you heart new york and you love LA
It's overkill like praying for a preacher
it's overkill like a sheep in a t-shirt
it's overkill no need for it, see
it's like an A+ still sleepin' with the teacher
I'm like the gulf coast, cut me some slack
I don't have fancy marketing or radio ads
I'm like the gulf coast: unsure and it shows
no I don't boast, I'm like the gulf coast
I'm like the gulf coast, cut me some slack
I'm a middle child too, with an ego to match
I'm like the gulf coast: I'm shy and it shows
no I don't boast, I'm like the gulf coast

I love this album because it seamlessly combines a spoken word narrative with music. I love how sonically diverse it is!
I also love the fact that, even though the album is about a very specific life experience, the album contains emotions that feel very universal. Overall, it's a great listen. elainachristine
A solarpunk concept album set in the not-too-distant tomorrow, Tom John Hall uses elegantly wrought art rock to tell a winding tale. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 25, 2023
Bright, gorgeous, bashing songs from these Belgian shoegazers that never lose track of melody amidst the waves of distortion. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 23, 2023

Found this through my poor Spotify trying desperately to find what I might like to listen to. Not at all my normal type of music but it actually made me stop and listen. Delightful from beginning to end. It's gone onto my DAP to become part of my normal rotation of music. vonvanna
