We partnered up with local (Everett, WA) tape label, Palmer House to create a short run of Limited Edition tapes and they even are translucent pink, which is bad ass. This doesn't come with a tape player, so good luck listening to this in 2024. You might wanna hit up a thrift store for this.

Both of these were manufactured at the same plant in GEORGIA, USA and they were made by BYLAND.

Still SO incredibly proud of that record. It was my "coming of age".

about
Alie: My vocal is dry and close at the beginning of this song, before it opens into an echo of sorts, a voice in the void. It’s a moment we can all identify with, in some way I hope - the woes of chasing success in this world when you think you know what that looks like. We wrote this after being rejected by a radio station in town that we idealized and felt was the only way to reach people with our art. Truly, there’s always a way if that’s what we truly want, but it always costs something. I still am weighing out that cost all the time, writing this song as a thirty-one year old who is tired but also determined. At it’s best, this is my “chip on the shoulder” / “fuck the gatekeepers” anthem, but also an empowering protest to my own gnawing lack of self-worth.
Jake: The song opens with the phrase “I can hear the sound through the walls”. It’s about the feeling of not being invited to the party. It’s about feeling insulated from success. It's about trying to cozy up to the people you think will get you in the door. It's about wanting to fit in. It’s a self satire of sorts. But ultimately, it’s about making peace with our own light despite not shining the way we think it's supposed to.
lyrics
I can hear the sound through the walls
And I’m on the outside
No windows no doors
Now I’m the one with the light
I played the hand I was dealt
I’m a high dollar liquor on the bottom shelf
I cast a hundred lines
With no reply
With no reply
Can I lean in
Can I lean a little closer
Can I lean a little closer
Oh
Oh
Oh
I’m in a crowded room
no matter what I do
I have no equity
In a masterpiece
Can I lean in
Can I lean a little closer
Can I lean a little closer
Can I lean in
Can I lean a little closer
Can I lean a little closer
Can I Lean in
Can I lean in
Can I lean in
Oh
Oh

Byland is the moniker and last name of Seattle-based, Albuquerque-raised, Cinematic Indie Rock artist, Alie Renee. Her
dynamic sound is often characterized by arrangements full of intriguing time signatures and unexpected chord changes, tethered by timeless lyrics and vocal vulnerability. For her, music is about taking time to create space to process emotions....more
Lost track of these guys for a couple years, then saw the Tiny Desk concert come up in my feed. I've had the album on loop on Spotify since Friday.
This song in particular has been stuck in my head all afternoon. quiksilv26

I love how this album makes me feel. It's like standing in a waterfall of memory, letting the lost moments wash over me. I could let the rushing current take me out to sea. Jaycee
