"I wished I was someone else, and I wished it was warmer" - John Darnielle

This is our first release, and our last as this iteration of Somebody's Basement. It's important to everybody involved. For some of us, it represents our first foray into songwriting. For all of us, it represents hours spent together in a basement with friends. Bickering. Drinking Capri Suns. Making music together.

all of the members of Somebody's Basement are either about to leave for college or in their first year of college, so it is only natural that anxieties about leaving home would be prevalent in anything we wrote. This album is about hometowns and 17/18 years of memories tied to one place. Girls. Friends. Streets and intersections and routes you know by heart in the dark. Places where we were loved and were alone. Smoking. Gas station coffee before sunrise. People you used to be friends with. Holding hands with someone in the woods, and then going months without talking to them. Swingsets. January nights. Winters that could never end. Apparitions of memories that stack; good replaced by bad and replaced by good again.

We hope you enjoy it. We hope to make more music in the future, and we can only get better.
Thank you
