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.

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

about
Alie: Monstera is the first single off my upcoming studio record, which is largely about dealing with disappointment. Even though “Monstera” is one of the most upbeat tracks on the record, it was brutal to write. The song is about moving away from my hometown of Albuquerque and one of the most painful “goodbyes”. The lyrics are dedicated to someone I love and believe in. It isn’t quite a love letter and it is not an apology. I’ve known Kristian since I was a kid. She is the first person I ever made music with. We promised each other we were going to grow up, make music, and go on tour together. After moving back to Albuquerque in 2020 and having Kristian drum in my band, it felt like a decades-long dream that was finally coming true. So, my decision to move away two years later wasn't just about changing my address - I was breaking a promise. I was the migratory bird that couldn’t stay. I was the saturn that returned then went away. I remember the day, shortly after I told her about my plans to move, the two of us sat at the small piano bench in my Albuquerque home and just wept together. The gravity of the decision and what it meant for our childhood dream was just so heavy. She was sad, angry and heartbroken, and I caused her that pain. I knew I was doing what was best for me, but it really sucks when what is best for you hurts other people that you love. Kristian will always be a significant part of who I am as a person and a musician and this song is a part of our story.
lyrics
There’s a green exit sign
Over a red door
But you lean on
The cards you draw
See Saw See Saw
Like a migratory bird
That tried to stay
Saturn returned and went away
Ahhhh
Drummer drummer
Forward seems so far from you
Bummer Bummer
Half of me and all of you
Five more leaves
Since I showed up
Ahhhh
You’ve got the locks and the keys
I think that your worst enemy
Looks a lot like you
I will wash the sheets
I will make the bed
Then wait for you to knock again
Ahhhh
Drummer drummer
Forward seems so far from you
Bummer Bummer
Half of me and all of you
Five more leaves
Since I showed up
A mile a minute with a light load
But I can’t keep hiding what I’m running from
You lent me shade and vitamins
Rare coins and extended stays
High fives instead of handshakes
Hell is real and you lived to tell
I felt and seen it in the hands I’ve held
Five more leaves since I showed up
Five more leaves since I showed up
Five more leaves since I showed up
Ahhhh
Five more leaves since I showed up
Five more leaves
Five more leaves
Ahhhh

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
