You Are Wind 03:34
lyrics
buy track
I messed up, I grew up Gave it all up for something new Tried buying love for way too much But not enough to pay for two My old friend, our bitter end Your ghost story held some truth These aching arms are falling off from trying to hold onto you You are wind Blowing through my house Working hard to knock it down Loud enough to draw a crowd I tried to do a dance Thought I'd give myself a chance But my fate is in your hands

Big Brother 02:51
lyrics

When you hit the seabed water weighs a ton And all that pressure is sure to crush your lungs Oh big brother I just wanted to have fun If you think that you can trek across the sea Just be prepared to watch your friends turn enemies Oh big brother I just wanted to believe So you think you can make it to the shore Just hope you understand what all of it was for Oh big brother I just needed something more I just wanted to get away I thought today could be my day But if it’s true what you say I’ve got to save for bills to pay I just wanted to get out I’ve got so much to figure out Why won’t time slow down? It makes me want to scream and shout

Rivers 01:36
lyrics

Piss in my shorts, vomit on your neckless We don’t know who we are we’re just young and reckless Fucking up our lives calling it fun Beer pong spilled across the kitchen table I don’t know where I am, I am unable to stand up straight now I’m just feeling dumb Ohio Ohio Ohio Ohio One month in, I’m an alcoholic Thought I came here to expand my knowledge Missed my class woke up on the front lawn Sold my soul, became one of the guys Thought these were supposed to be the best years of my life Well I guess they came and now they’re gone Monongahela Monongahela Monongahela Monongahela Wasted all my time writing shitty rhymes Wasted all my cash thought I’d have a blast Wasted my whole life trying to pick fights Wasted my whole night falling for you, you fell for that shitty pickup line Allegheny Allegheny Monongahela Monongahela Ohio Ohio These rivers are where I belong

Cigarette 03:48

I could go for a cigarette now My blood is boiling, my heart is toiling My throat is numb from all those words I didn’t mean I’ve sobered up now, I’m coming home I’m coming home to that empty building Where all that remains are memories I’m walking cancer A necromancer controls my body, I’m out here drowning in all the ashes of you and me I’ll lock my lungs in an iron casket so I can’t breathe in just how romantic this whole night should have been I could go for a cigarette I could go for the night we met I could go for a proper high I would kill for another try I’m walking cancer A necromancer controls my body I’m out here drowning in all our ashes for eternity

Can't Take This Anymore 02:37
lyrics
buy track
I’m hanging from the rafters Spent another night plastered I’ve been sleeping on the floor I can’t do this anymore One more lapse in reason With the changing of the season Falling leaves strike to the core I can’t take this anymore I’ve been speaking with the priestess Trying to find myself some Jesus Not that saint I was before Now I’m rotten, washed ashore Wasted all my money trying to buy myself some honey Took a walk down to the store, too bad I’m fucking poor Oh no Oh no Oh no I’ve been trying to find a reason to keep on safekeeping Youthful muscles getting sore I can’t do much anymore Back in 2005, I’m pretty sure I felt fine Not that kid I was before I can’t take this anymore Tomorrow I’ll be plastered Living up to being a bastard Find me shaking on that floor I can’t take this anymore

Rearview Mirror 03:12
lyrics
buy track
I saw you through the window, took a look passed your eyes Always thought I’d be the hero, not the one you despise Let’s meet up in the darkroom, you can dodge the memories in my head Will you have one more conversation with the one you once fed? It’s as simple as a daydream to become satisfied At least that’s how you made it seem I hope you know that I tried I never was enough, you burnt all my dirty clothes But I’ve been back to the outlets, I hope my progress shows I saw myself for the first time reflecting in your rearview mirror Another time for another life now I see things a little clearer

Living for the Mundane 03:48

Sipping coffee at the new I’m trying to stop it But “Fresh pot in the break room!” In bed by nine after one glass of wine Her little head rests upon my bony shoulder All these TV shows are getting a bit old Countless, endless scrolls I think I’ve seen this one before Am I insane or is it just another Monday? I’d complain but I’m just trying to have fun, Dave I miss when I was gonna be something someday Now I’m living for the mundane Took the day off to make my teeth like new That orthodontist was an Adonis She made me think twice on you But tomorrow I’ll have to borrow Dave’s new stapler to get this on the desk by noon Am I insane or is it just another Monday? I’d complain but I’m just trying to have fun, Dave I miss when I was gonna be something someday Now I’m living for the mundane I miss when I was gonna be something someday I once had dreams to fly a rocket into space Maybe I’ll get back there if I keep on retrace No, I’m Oh I’m Oh I’m Now I’m living for the mundane Am I insane or is it just another Monday? I’d complain but I’m just trying to have fun, Dave I miss when I was gonna be something someday Now I’m Now I’m Now I’m Now I’m living for the mundane

Box of Shame 03:10

No more creativity to move this body And no more drugs in this home to fuel this brain and milk these bones Just those sheets on that bed that wreak of you and haunt the shed All alone got nothing to fear There’s nothing left except this fear All these rotting teeth make it hard to speak I’ve been trying to get it out but blood fills my mouth I’m just a box of shame I’ll have to change my name If this is all a game, I guess I lost it Things they never tell maybe I’ll learn in hell Too little too late I’ll meet you at the gate What have we become? Once as big as thumbs Now we own the world, we’re gonna lose it Fuck Fuck I’m just another boy, capitalists favorite toy I’m just a box of shame, I’m just a box of shame I’m just another girl in this consumer world I’m just a box of shame, I’m just a box of…

Friendly Neighbor 03:03

I’ll save your newspaper, I am your friendly neighbor I know you’re on vacation but that won’t stop the nation I’ll forward you updates make sure you make it home safe I’m doing you a favor I am your friendly neighbor Double-check all you read these lies aren’t easy to see You watch all the shows but there’s still more you could know I mean it, I’ve seen it, the voter turnout screams it I’m making the world safer I am your friendly neighbor I’m not sure what’s come over me but I’ve found myself politically I believe in the flag I believe in journalistic integrity They wouldn’t lie to me, would they? They couldn’t lie to me, would they? No, they wouldn’t lie to me No, they wouldn’t lie to me I mean come on, I-I saw it on TV Make sure to cast the right vote or I’ll be building a moat I’m making the world safer, I am your friendly neighbor

My One 03:57
lyrics

My one, you’re stronger than the sun, burnt my whole system Foregone, I’m floating on and on, depleting my own lungs Went searching, I built my own contest, wound up in an ancient mess I’m sorry, I should’ve wrote you back, Still, your letter’s on my chest I thought I said it all but I found more You know it’s lonely in this endless void I thought it’d all pay off if I could roam to places where you’d never belong Go on and chalk it up to fate or karma, those fatal words you learned from your mama I hope you’re good when I get back to say my name Just say my name Jeepers creepers I saw the reaper She took me deeper into the infinite night Blaring speakers blinded by the light Screeching voices all at once unite I thought I said it all but I found more You know it’s lonely in this endless void Go on and chalk it up to fate or karma Just say my name Say my name My one, you’re brighter than the sun My only guardian My one now all is said and done Our story is still one for the books

Not the Same 03:56
lyrics
buy track
Living in the best Virginia, summers were a blast Apple Jacks and Coca-Cola 2000 fast Before Eric broke his mold was the best friend I’d ever had Back then I knew I’d grow older didn’t understand I can’t go back When the music changed, I became so frayed Once was my dame but I got played When did movies devolve? When did you get so tall? I miss the holidays and how you'd say my name All those interactive books The few drugs that we took, it never felt the same I guess that’s okay The countless nights we had Munching popcorn with your dad Could never be the same It all had to change All those interactive books All those interactive books

about

The songs on this record were written between 2017 and 2019 and recorded throughout the months of October, November, and December of 2020. From the bedroom of Tucker's childhood home to the basement of Matt and Tucker's residence during their final year in college, the music transformed from alt-rock bedroom takes into the punk and surf-rock inspired album it is today. Hence, it's self-titled nature. 'Frantic Orange.' The LP focuses on the hardships, heartbreaks, addictions, and anxieties that came along with the band's college career.

"This album was all written in times of self-doubt. Plagued by anxiety about the future, I turned to music as an outlet. I found that I could unlock emotions that I didn't quite understand through song.

"Rivers" was the first track I wrote for the band back when I was 19 or 20 and it shows, it's incredibly angsty. But it was important to us that we included it on the tracklist as a representation of where we started. Matt didn't even own a drumset at that point. We had talked about starting the band back when we were Sophomores but didn't actually get around to making anything solid until the fall of our Senior year. Originally, the concept was to go in a punk-centric direction. I was listening to a lot of Black Flag and Choking Victim at the beginning of the writing process for inspiration. However, the final product is not representative of those influences at all.

When we were recording the first couple singles off of this record, we really had no idea what we were doing. We were hours away from each other, sending files back and forth, hoping that something good, or at least creatively fulfilling would come out of it. We've progressed a lot since then and I'm extremely proud of Matt for all the work he put into this project.

I think I speak for both of us when I say that we just hope that you get some form of joy or inspiration out of listening to this. It was built out of a lot of pain but in the end, I think we were able to transform that into something different, something meaningful. Love yourself." - T
