Spindrift 02:51
See you in a dream Something’s haunting me Running out of sheep Find it hard to breathe Pull me down Sink with me Inside your hell Spindrift dream Spindrift dream Must be nice to see All the things that we Kept behind our teeth Turn the other cheek Pull me down Sink with me Inside your hell Spindrift dream Spindrift dream Spindrift dream Spindrift dream

Perfect 05:04
Far away from me Come as you please Is it any wonder You’re stuck in the same routine as me Cover your eyes so you can’t see Put down the gun and go to sleep I’ll meet you there In between The flowers in your hair Smell like poison to me I drown in the pollen I choke on the leaves Burn a hole through my head Thought you’d set me free Found your way to me Soaked in gasoline Is it worth it? To burn it all down I’m sure that you’re perfect Inside and out I’ll meet you there In between The flowers in your hair Smell like poison to me I drown in the pollen I choke on the leaves Burn a hole through my head Thought you’d set me free
3.
Glistening Sun-bleached eyes You look at me As they catch the light You turn away The past remains A fever dream That we can’t escape These fragments of you So hard to find I pick up the pieces One at a time You lost your way I lost my mind You pick up the pieces One at a time Bitter water Cyanide An effigy To the hands of time You turn away The past remains A fever dream That we can’t escape These fragments of you So hard to find I pick up the pieces One at a time You lost your way I lost my mind You pick up the pieces One at a time These fragments of you So hard to find I pick up the pieces One at a time You lost your way I lost my mind You pick up the pieces One at a time

Haven Blue 03:38
Wake to see the sun Bitter days to come Fluid fills the lungs Drowning beneath it all Searching for shelter Silence has filled the void Closing in on you Drag you down to the haven blue In and out of consciousness Biting on my tongue Breaking all the promises Standing on my own I can’t control myself A reflection of someone else I’m coming down Searching for shelter Silence has filled the void Closing in on you Drag you down to the haven blue It weighs me down It weighs me down It weighs me down I’m coming down
5.
Vertigo 03:53
You waited For so long To wear your wounds Spitting image Of indecision Cuts you straight in two I’m afraid I’m afraid It’s true It’s a shame Your pain Bleeds through Vertigo Can’t let you go Vertigo Spell it out for you So jaded Complicated Hard to see it through Test of patience Implications I know you see it too I’m afraid I’m afraid It’s true It’s a shame Your pain Bleeds through Vertigo Can’t let you go Vertigo Spell it out for you And now we know To let it go And now we know What hurts the most
6.
Honey 03:28
Two lovers Heartstrings intertwined No other Feelings come to mind Driving Through the night Uneasy When you say goodbye Honey eyes Honey eyes Understood most of the time Honey eyes Honey eyes You can see right through their lies When you look in your reflection Have you lost your sense of time Even reached your destination Haven’t found the finish line Honey eyes Honey eyes Understood most of the time Honey eyes Honey eyes You can see right through their lies Lies Lies Lies Lies
7.
Twelve Years 03:24
Stories Come and go Things I Don’t wanna know I see you In myself Drifting by No need for help Heavy sighs With no chance To say goodbye I painted a picture Of your love Still pick up the pieces Twelve years on How do you live with that A fleeting feeling That you’re not coming back If you can hear me Show me a sign If you can hear me Just blink twice I painted a picture Of your love Still pick up the pieces Twelve years on How do you live with that A fleeting feeling That you’re not coming back
8.
You look away While he fades And collapse to pieces The sudden pain That it brings In the midnight shimmer When it’s over Let it be Can’t seem to let him leave A second chance A long defeat Just hoping that you’ll find peace Feeling blue You grind your teeth As it starts all over Idle hands Restless disease Just wishing for some relief When it’s over Let it be Can’t seem to let him leave A second chance A long defeat Just hoping that you’ll find peace And the glow From the hospital window Keeps you close To the midnight shimmer
9.
Stuck 03:50
It’s all one in the same Not wanting to change A constant struggle with you With all that we’ve been through It’s not my place to say Feels like you’re running away Can’t get it off your chest To finally give it a rest And float away Like a memory Don’t be afraid to turn the page And float away Like a memory Don’t be afraid to turn the page Might make sense to escape Always running in place This is the moment of truth The words were spoken too soon It might be worth it to try But I can’t change your goddamn mind So float away Like a memory Don’t be afraid to turn the page So float away Like a memory Don’t be afraid to turn the page So float away Like a memory Don’t be afraid to turn the page So float away Like a memory Don’t be afraid to turn the page
10.
Selfish 03:58
Another day spent alone Thoughts of you come and go Spinning circles in my head Drifting close to the end So sorry it’s not What you wanted To hear I’d give it all up If you wanted Me here Feeling further from the earth Disassociation works Nail me up to your cross Spark the flame and set it off So sorry it’s not What you wanted To hear I’d give it all up If you wanted Me here But I’m not here Thought we made it clear But I’m not here Thought we made it clear So sorry it’s not What you wanted To hear I’d give it all up If you wanted Me here

about

RAD-086:

Spindrift is Roving’s first full-length, but the seeds were planted years ago. In its earliest incarnations, the project that’d become Roving was the duo of vocalist/guitarist Aryel Lopez and drummer Diego Gomez while the two were just 14, and they picked up bassist Eddy Siordia a couple years later. When guitarist Chase Hunter joined the band over a shared love of groups like Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins, Roving was solidified.

That shared love of the Pumpkins and Hum and such informs Spindrift. The giants of the ‘90s loom large, but they never overshadow Roving’s own sensibilities. The warbling riff that rips “Honey” open nods to Catherine Wheel, but the hook goes for pure pop euphoria; “Selfish” forces the album’s gnarliest riffs upfront, submerging Lopez’s voice under a deluge of feedback and alt-metal bite. Cuts like “Haven Blue” and single “Midnight Shimmer” might be the first time any of the modern-day grunge-gaze bands have successfully blended the lush atmospherics of shoegaze with the dirty sneering energy of grunge.

The band wrote the album over seven months, with every member contributing as much as possible, frequently even collaborating on lyrics. It feels like the work of a band operating as one; everything that worked on their 2019 EP Dreams/Memories is turned up to ten on Spindrift, and they’ve trimmed the fat. Like their labelmates Dosser and Day Aches, Roving have done something special on this LP. Spindrift doesn’t just pay homage to their heroes, it stands aside them.
