about
On “Best Years”, off their new album Subterranea, Sunglaciers harness krautrock grooves and reverb-drenched 90s guitar riffs, some of which were the work of co-producer Chad VanGaalen who also sings on the track. Through detached vocals and dreamy harmonies, the song alludes to a coming of age that questions tales of false idols in a backwards city.
lyrics
People keep saying
That all things will pass
The less I believe it
The longer it lasts
Cause I feel like I'm missing
A piece that I need
In your image
Maybe I could be something
Can you feel its presence?
Just tell me something
Something I wanna hear
Lean in towards me
Whisper in my ear
Say you're losing your patience
Your desire to stay here
In this backward city,
Taking all of your best years
Can you feel its presence?
Breaks your circuit
That's when she told me
It's something in my brain
A mechanism
Makes me say the wrong thing
And I know it's a symptom
That I can't control
The source is elusive
And I ain't got no soul
Can you feel its presence?
Breaks your circuit
Breaks your circuit
Thoughts are circling
You know it's a danger
To stand close to me
They're killing dissenters
For thinking critically
And now, it's so simple
Your presence compels
My desire
To be anywhere else
A nostalgic record full of ambling rhythms, vivid imagery, and cotton-soft melodies tapped out on an ever-present ’70s synth-organ hybrid. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 11, 2021
supported by 9 fans who also own “Best Years (feat. Chad VanGaalen)”
The record so nice, I bought it twice. Just sent one as a gift to a friend.
This record is stunning. Poignant and powerful, sometimes heartbreaking. The artwork is gorgeous too. firecat666
