lyrics
The sense of intense nausea like a diver with the bends
Or like eating a rancid fish from the filthiest bows of the river Thames
I observe the tangential relationship between the corrosion of the soul
And the mass of untouched fruit slowly decaying in the bowl
Now that thick commuter crush acts as a savage reminder you’re alive
While the sense of dissatisfaction continues streaming from your eyes
And these eyes feel like another’s forced into my sagging sockets
And I’m terrified my mobile phone is watching the inside of my pockets
If we stand close enough together maybe we can convince ourselves that we’re all having fun
Even those who’ve braved the show alone, intermittently staring at their phones not talking to anyone
I find it best not to dwell
On the things I’ve been told
Are of the utmost importance.
I find it hard enough to deal
With the things I’ve been told
Are of little-to-no significance.

I feel like I could have written this song while with my ex. It is so bitingly truthful, holding back none of the bitter reality of feelings that a toxic relationship establishes. The build up of vocalization is spitting, heartwrenching and really brings the lyrics to their fullest emotional potential.
Can’t describe how much I love the juxtaposition of extremes recurring throughout this album, both lyrically and thematically. izze32
In a more perfect world, this band would blaring out of every radio on Earth. The lyrics, the vocals, the just-outta-teens snark and earnestness... so much to love. paulimboden
Across their second full-length, the London post-punks offer up thrumming motoriks, industrial tones, and sullen sing-a-longs in abundance. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 17, 2024
The soaring arcs of post-rock, the punchy rhythms of post-hardcore, and the jagged lines of post-punk all join on the latest from Aversions. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2023
Noisy Siberian post-punk with mathcore's sense of inventive tempo and vocals that nearly howl with urgent insistence. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 27, 2023
