Modern Mongrel Through the soft whispers of the moons shimmering beams, you turn your head to the sky and hear, "How is Citygirl so goated?"

Geology Penguin As a fan of City Girl's more instrumental-oriented releases I really enjoyed this more balanced offering compared to the vocal-heavy "C-GIRL". Opening tracks sound like re-imagined beats from the Neon Impasse era while "I'm Still Holding On" could easily have been a Chroma Velocity b-side. If one thing cheapens the experience for me (prudish though it may sound) its the excessive swearing on select tracks- edgy but I argue lyrically lazy and wholly unnecessary. Favorite track: I'm Still Holding On.

sleepysharkyghost I always feel like every album tells a story and I’m here to experience every chapter. Favorite track: Sit Around (feat. tiffi).

about

You’ve been animate in this dream for far too long.
Emptiness fills you as night deepens.
Unborn.
Fall asleep in soft ether, you’ll surely awake...

No intervening gloom, no lovely memories,
Just a plain spring sky.
No flowers or animals, only you,
Quiet as an undying star.

Certain ruin, all that joy...
Silently a face lifts in the darkness.
Alone...
Death of endless love, birth of the first light.

It hurts, let it save you.
Let it hold you forever.
Let the weight build till, falling, you wash into the old home.

Back again where the fond memories devour me,
Piercing the fleshy soul.

Don't fear it.
Sit around the glow with us, gentle one.
You’ve been lonely a long, long time...

The pale girl is known,
But they’ve made up their mind...
She was never fetid to begin with—
Just a lonely yell in some far-off nightmare.

Lost birds in heaven’s gaze,
Hopeful of some zephyr to escape the grey.

How could one belabor oblivion
When wrapped so closely in life?
In the in-between, we catch glimpses of it:
The warm and unfeeling dawn.

But it is not a tool of incandescent recovery.
That pale girl fulfilled a dream of loss.
It can’t help you!

Besides, you could go anywhere, but you stay here;
It is the mark of true pain, such sweetness.
Let love become your loss—
Loss deep and heavy, like bright white pearls buried far beneath the dark earth.

We concluded likewise, didn’t we?
The only way below was above.
A great fall requires a rapturous ascent.
I’d throw myself again, and I know you’d do the same.

Reanimate the woe.
No flowers, no animals.
Don't worry.
I’m still holding on; I’ll hold on for both of us.

That healing sorrow is ours alone.
Decaying yet awake...
Remember all the things that made you happy in the old home
And cry with me here in the light.

Let the pinhole crack
And eat the seeping joy of chaos.
I’ll always be here for you when you awake,
City Girl.
