sainteater i've never heard lyrics so raw, real, and honest like these. it's like open heart surgery--getting to hold something beating and tender. made me feel better to be a dyke, felt seen. incredible masters of musick. Favorite track: digest.

lemons98 I’ve been excited for this ever since the A Splinter demo was released almost a year ago and I’m so happy its here and it whips ass. Angsty and aggressive but with a real tender side, I’ve listened to it twice through already and in about to start forcing all my friends to listen to it

lucy goes absolutely insanely hard. scratches the itch of sapphic, sexy, stormy bangers that has been long overdue for years now, and in bombastic, facemelting manner. killing it so hard already!!!!!! Favorite track: deep inside her.

river This record has accomplished what a lot of DIY bands have been trying to do for the last five years, which is perfectly encapsulating the angst and moody nihilism of the 90s. Watt’s vocals would fit perfectly atop a Hole track while the guitar tones expertly capture everything i love about the 90s. Please support this band, they’re gonna be huge Favorite track: are you lonely, too?.

djclarkmusic After listening to the pre-released tracks, I had an idea of how this album was going to go. It completely surpassed my expectations. I am in love with this album, the sound, the arrangements, the tone. It all kicked so much ass! Congrats on releasing this one, it is fantastic. Favorite track: backne.

dyke 02:24
my dyke panties in a wad i'm a piece of shit i'm bigger than his dick AHHHHHH i'm your jealous-- psycho fraud i’m a piece of shit i’m bigger than his dick AHHHHHH it's really fucking frustrating when you try your best at something, and you think you’re there but then you’re not, and you have to desperately think of what to do in the meantime to cope with all the failure, but i-- me and no one else i think I know myself Isn’t it unfortunate? i hope you are doing well and succeeding and your efforts are being realized i poured everything into you my clothes are bigger and my teeth are different and my hands are dry and cracking and I’ve lost all ambition or drive things are always falling in and out of making sense things are always falling in and out of making sense things are always falling in and out of making sense things are always falling in and out of making sense

wash your feet eat your meat smile real sweet repeat repeat i know what’s deep inside her i already know you smell just like her wash your sheets beat your meat while you sleep in heat, in heat i know what’s deep inside her i already know you smell just like her i felt like it the other day and then i felt it go away i think i wanna be okay i think i wanna be okay i feel you breathe i feel the ringworm on my neck i feel the criticism best when I am lying in my bed i burnt my skin and then i felt like i was swimming in it things are always different when i feel like i am unfit, i am i let you in, i let you crawl, i let you bend i let you feel around and then i pressed down hard to make it end but wait now, just a minute!

i’ll forget your name i’ll forget most everything you know that funny face you used to make when you were young? there’s toothpaste in the sock drawer and puzzles laid out on the floor do you remember that? i thought you’d remember that. and i always thought i’d have more (and i always thought i'd have more time than resentment) than the pages we read at the bookstore (but the pages we read are all losing their sentences) but i told you that story before (i told myself all that before and i meant it then) you know you told me that story before? (THE PAGES WE READ ARE ALL LOSING THEIR SENTENCES) i know, i do i know, i know, i do, i do i’ll forget that thing oh you know the word for it you know you have a face? reminds me of that one -- oh wait there’s something on the radio and your cousin, but you wouldn’t know do you remember that? i thought you’d remember that. i know, i know, i do i know, i know, i do, i do

wet dream 03:06
it’d be unwise for me to vocalize the things i’d do to you we were in the hallway, then ran to the bedroom and you’d never but the thought of it? the tension, teasing, heat, repeating: “grab my wrist, pick me apart, bite my lip, and HAVE MY HEART” … i woke and i divided, splintered sunk indifferent into my shirt i’m feeling cowardly, today they’d like that wouldn’t they? a cancer and i’m leaning on the dresser and i’m sweating from the pressure isn’t it obvious that i, i hate my body i-- i’m a tumor, i’m a sore and i can be a carnivore fill my tummy, ask for more i promise i am so mature … one more, give me a minute i want more, give me a minute i can be your carnivore. i can be yours.

My Lover TV 03:14
if I was a liar i’d call you my friend look through my body get in my head you’re probably softer, you’re probably kind, alone in my bedroom you’re there in my mind … i see myself in you isn’t it easy? when you’re on the TV you don’t have to smell me i’d like to think I could be better than I would but, I am a pig, too i’d rather be with you

i need you to let it go, let it go, let it go sweat is dripping down my back i don’t know how to cope with that sweat is dripping down my back i don’t know how to-- i’m bloated, feel the static feel the hair stuck on my mattress feel the choking, feel the habit feel the weight, like something tragic feel it. (i know something you don’t know) sweat is dripping down my back i don’t know how to cope with that sweat is dripping down my back i don’t know how to-- (i know something you don’t know) i need you to let it go, let it go, let it go.

i wanna get it my way i wanna feed, i wanna prey i wanna get it my way i wanna get it my way i’ve got a high libido (i’m ready for you) i wanna show (i’d be happy to) i wanna know (if I’m boring you) i wanna know (are you lonely, too?) i wanna get it my way i wanna feel, i wanna ache i wanna get it my way i wanna get it my way i’ve got a high libido (i’m ready for you) i wanna show (i’d be happy to) i wanna know (if I’m boring you) i wanna know (are you lonely, too?) i’ve gotta go (i feel it botherin’ you) i’ve gotta go (i feel you tryin’ to) i wanna know (if I’m boring you) i wanna know (are you lonely, too?) … i’ll take off my clothes (i wanna get it my way) i’ll wiggle my toes (i wanna get it my way) i’ll let you expose (i wanna get it my way) my lowest of lows (i wanna get it my way) i wanna get it my way

digest 03:56
honestly, i'm not the best to digest. see a little gap, pick at the meat and move on. suck on the bone, leave the crumbs on the sheets and move on. swallow and chew, grind your teeth when you sleep and move on... on... on... on. i know just what to do, keep socks on for you. i'll take my vitamins. i'm so big and strong. i don't know what to do. my tummy is full. oops, i like sex again, splinter's deep in my-- how do you want it, then? rarely finish what-- menthol and sweaty skin, fingers deep in my-- hair has a knot again. i'm a sucker for zit juice and vicodin. never let me in. never let me in. never let me in. never get enough in my sippy cup. never get enough in my sippy cup. i know just what to do, sing a shallow tune. i'll take a break again. i'm a shitty friend. i don't know what to do. i'm so big and strong. oops I like sex again, shave my chicken skin. how do you want it in? toes are spread and i'm being a bitch again. i'm a sucker for--. eating is boring, and i feel sappy when i miss the feel of it. never let me in. never let me in. never let me in. never get enough in my sippy cup. never get enough in my sippy cup. never let me in. never let me in. never let me in. never let me in. never let me in. never let me in. never let me in.
