isaacfromtruefiction this album is gorgeous start to finish. I usually would not count such a such small release in with my favorites, not because I dislike small releases, but because very very few of them contain the magic universe this one does! last clean soul on earth is also one of the best songs ever written Favorite track: Last clean soul on earth.

Ithacas Mean Bandcamp is so exciting to me because every once in a while, I stumble upon an album like Contrapunctual.

The songwriting here is incredibly consistent. taketime beautifully walks the line between consonance and dissonance, managing to write bedroom pop that is addictive yet inventive.

Much love🥰 Favorite track: New Way Out.

Dawn Dineen This entire record is mysterious and beautiful. It's a DIY recording masterpiece. The song "Last Clean Soul On Earth" is an especially gut-wrenching treasure. Put your headphones on. Favorite track: Last clean soul on earth.

we all try to get inside the war's not over we all fly to dead end sights long night, I get inside the locks say open up I'll try another time it's a towel dry afternoon he didn't take the loss, I know (sewn on sight) say I loved to like to know can you come back up tomorrow (I'll stop pretending) It's so pent up, I know these things are counted as row (so unsightly) I'll dial that down to low paper hats and all (I can't believe) so that's it, that's it all I still like the nights at home tell me if that's a lot to know hidden rocks and undertow

Ron said to say yo Cam, you know where you wanna go (backwards) you get to stay home you can't grow anymore Ron said to say yo you no longer are known for your bad words wrongs set to zero you no longer are known Run mad you hero don't get caught with your armor on backwards you're homesickin' kiddo go bang on a guitar All of us giving upcaring for the hell of it and watching over lavender and clover fields All you are, steel and wire animals from a carnival and feeling sober with a lens and holder sealed Ron's sad to stay home how many worlds are we going through this time Ron's sad deseo how old are the wounds Ron said to stay home you're no longer in bounds is what he said Ron said to stay up go on into your bunk, you sparrow Run set the sail you no longer will move when wind says Run set the sail I can't help with long road to you Run tell the burrough please may god take mine run tell the ghetto one second or more We're all set to sail your rumour talking has got er'one concerned we're all set to sail remove that cut on the dock Unset the sail we're all unsettled but we've gotta move backwards we're all set to sail but we're all waiting for you

six weeks give me all i need give you more than you can eat in that time six weeks keep me on my peak keep me sleeping on right side of the line six weeks keep me off my feet give me all that cant repeat in my life six weeks im in need of a beat that can take away the powder in my mind oh carillon your bells were rung for hours while i was asleep I heard it through the clouded veil of dreams send my arms to patterson send my love so wide out of song the rays from october orange glown in the night words cut up and sober from light when my kids they grow older minds that wander like mine willing the folding of order up high I hope their hands are much bolder prone to stoking their fires not willing to smolder and surely expire when the racing is over can I claim to do right if I've passed down the clouds of my life

where was I when I last saw you saying nothing true layered and astrung cause I needed proof say "I know but I can't get in to" tell me the truth does it bother you like it bothers me too can we have it or will it be too much for me to do you're so sad for sunrise your head set fire you cared for so long Wear an old hat and a sweater you can't grow all this for love
5.
does this exist anymore does it exist in a different world than you're saying things are then after you, that afternoon, the room so strange, you are it's a symptom of cause you'll take a dive that you won't take well tonight I'm tired telling myself "tonight is all unsuited, I'll bide mine, stay home" say it all will come backwards say it won't come, bide your time you own time to get down climb the walls get your rocks out signed to new things now send the bombs, crush the locks into dust clouds time to move things out can the cardoor and swing on up to the next house

You can't tell me you don't miss your old black car and all of the places you used to go in it You never had to drive it all that far to feel so different than when you started So you don't miss your old black car and all of the places you used to go in it you don't miss that thing at all and all the windows that weren't good at windowing I still miss that old black car all that was and wasn't working out I still think about it every fall and all the places I won't be going again

send me on a rose and I'll ride over film you getting old, full frail and simple tell that old node to move it or who will it's sitting on a dozen doors set me on a road with three souls and singles before anybody knows I'm manic and doubt I know how to run from erratic to so calm like anybody wouldn't do Just tell me where you wanna go and I'll tell you where I wanna go just sell me on the road I'm coming til I can't any more you can tell me where you're never going I'll tell you what I'm running from all the girls in the cabin crying: "I didn't know..." you say you've been going no where but you've been going where you wanna go in the night you see your mother go: "it's taken its toll.." you say we've been going no where but I know where I would wanna go but you say that when no one follows you feel inconsoled

Yeah I remember your memory I remember the first White walls and ceilings Around the hastened breathers I crossed over serenity I marched through hand knit FURS And I felt the space around me For the first time since birth But the floor keeps quakin And it took you first To a far isled nation Where my words don't work I lost you in hibernation From the cold wet earth I awoke to find you shaken A no-breath, blue pearl Couldn't you let someone else get taken Someone who they deserve Leave this one unabated The last clean soul on earth

New Way Out 09:22
so white out with nowhere to go get out the of doll house OYO You said it once if you said it at all you know you won't candid photograph your way back to the hearts back home as you die out singing parcels sent franklin county post give yourself some room to grasp this free and lovely lightly moment you say, you don't know where to go when the water, is coming through the cracks in the wall new way out singing newness is the new way out you won't get it going until youre finished being on your own new way out saying newness is the new way out youre out cutting corners when all the love is takin' the long way around you say, you don't know where to go when the water, is coming through the cracks in the wall you say, you don't know where to go when the draft, coming through the bricks in the wall

Sew it up send me the receipt ill get a stamp when i get around to me Sew it up send me the receipt ill get around to writing you when you finally write me sail north dont forget to breath send me your address and ill meet you in the breeze I know I've been gone long but I can't help myself sail north dont forget to breath ill only walk 20 steps today but ill feel it in my feet sail north dont forget to breath if i take 20 steps today ill fa-feel it in my feet Sew it up send me the receipt ill get a stamp if want family around me Sew it up send me the receipt ill get it started before your scent can reach me I saw the world up closer still overwhelming the morning after I saw it for all it is I saw the world imploding and I'm still mourning the morning after I saw the world and all dead I saw the world unbolded
