pretty much take ur hippest happy go lucky boys from classes in college and make them into an indie rock band and you get this (this reminds me of the hip happy go lucky boys from my classes in college who made an indie rock band and opened for big sean and passion bit. good times.)
but its still good, esp when you have 20 min to spare and have found a nice patch of grass to lay on and stare at the sun
tracks: “Breathe” and “Southern Skies”
things I evidently left out include Radiohead and Chance3 and James Blake and Kaytranda I’m SORRY I’ll get around to it! I’m currently rotting in a punk phase right now so just lemme be
