“…80’s new wave mixed with Kanye mixed with a heaping dose of hopeless romanticism, BINDS revels in its beautiful, seething melancholy. It tells a love story too, yes, but one that couldn’t be further from the bubblegum pop of Top 40s, one that throbs with longing and infatuation and then spins out into something harsher, truer, darker, deeper, something that captures the pain and beauty of spending decades lying next to a body you may never truly know…”
“BINDS tells the tale ‘of a lifelong relationship from beginning to end’—all in 32 minutes. As one might expect, it’s one hell of a ride, a story segmented into seven tracks with one-word titles, each varying in vibe but all sonically rich, enjoyable a la carte but even better when digested together, in sequence, as they combine to create a full-on listening experience—one we’ve gotten more and more out of with every listen.”
