the beauty in a picture is that is will always be the same, even when the people in it change. you’ve left me here to reassemble all the shattered frames—i won’t let broken glass ruin memories. that’s where i belong//you’re in my heart//i’ll be yours//you’re all i want. i’m starting to see that life is all of those things that happen when you’re not listening. so i’ll give you the moon on a string, cause it’s all i can reach. but one day, we’ll walk with stars beneath our feet. that’s where i belong//you’re in my heart//i’ll be yours//you’re all i want. i’ve never had the money to smother you in these worthless, dispensable trinkets or rings. but i can give you my heart and all it contains. it may be cold and broken, but you could fix it up for me. with me you belong//with me you belong//i gave you the moon, it wasn’t enough//you’re all i want.

straightforward, no huge production or walls of guitars, but Chris tickles the heartstrings with melody, and that's the true hallmark of a great songwriter. The Insurrectionists
From the first moment I heard Will Toledo's washed-out screams on Boxing Day, I knew he'd "make it". Here we are, 2 years later and he's on Matador records. Sometimes, the world rewards talent. The Insurrectionists
In Adrian Snood’s songs, soulful vocals and slow-moving alt-pop swirl together to create something distinctly moving. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 1, 2023
