self-control, or lack thereof

i'm obsessed. i know, i know -- it's not a good look. but i feel completely shameless.



an acoustic cover of "steep", an ohbijou song covered by ohbijou(?) with the acorn. ohbijou is the one of the most fun band names to say. i kind of love that they mess up a little bit. especially when the guy on the left joins in, just for one line, to help them get back on track. he harmonizes really nicely, and when the girl says "nice" in approval, there's a moment. it wouldn't be the same otherwise. i love ralph's voice from the acorn in this song.

lyrics to steep:

this could be our last resort
let’s cut these limbs that weigh us down
the spies hide out in smoky leaves
our love is sweet espionage

my temper flares with moves off course
romance misplaced in busy days
the night sinks like stones in this dirty gut
that haunt with the ghosts our bodies make

and I swing sweet
and skim these streets
that hold me in one piece

and dismiss these spells
of wishing wells
whose costs on me
have been too steep

i love this. absolutely and completely. i'm so stoked on this style of animation. it's similar to flood pt 1, i think.




one of the sickest videos i've ever seen. favorite part: 3 minutes, 25 seconds in. such interesting and spot-on cinematography choices.


these are amazing amazing. amazing.

"say crack again--"
"crack!"
