Remixed by Jyeah aka Ben Lawson at Red Bull Music Studio, Auckland
lyrics
if you're just scared
don't take it back
if you're just scared
don't take it back
don't take it back
don't take it back
you're giving me a fright please
don't take it back
your ire
and the iron in it get in the ground
my spine is magnetised
and i lay down
you don't have to say it
for the hurt to get heard
you don't have to say it
just saying
if you're just scared
don't take it back
if you're just scared
don't take it back
don't take it back
don't take it back
you're giving me a fright please
don't take it back
most of me knows
we don't define a binary
and i'm getting scared
the tears are rolling harder
and i don't need it said
you designed the method
to avoid your intent
now the space has mourned the occupation
getting an end
if you're just scared
don't take it back
if you're just scared
don't take it back
don't take it back
don't take it back
you're giving me a fright please
don't take it back

Another beautiful album, crafted with so much warmth and authenticity that as it breaks my heart it is also simultaneously healing it too.
River Run Lvl 1, FMHM, Little Death, Not Running, Less than Thou, Happy Unhappy are equal faves but Great Noone, Uptown Girl, YWLM and Whatever are also brilliant BUT if I must/have to choose, it's Less than Thou 🥹 Gruff
Warm synth pads and acoustic instruments meet delicate downtempo parts and driving beats for an intimate club sound. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 6, 2025
A killer new 12” from Sylvan Esso reveals a dagger-edged side of the group with pulverizing kicks and heat-warped electronics. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 3, 2025

The fave song title has to be a pun on the Canadian national anthem and yes I'm late to this party :) Liked the light touch to the extra strings and horns. Just enough to add colour and swing. Jason Kemp
