Catch me falling Who else is watching ‘Cause you’re there too silent With the same, body swelling Daily, daily or nightly I’ll catch you on the telephone Darling, darling so slightly Wishing you were on your way home And you’ll tell me your steamy dreams Honey, honey, you’ve got me You’ve got me Take your time darling Something told me months ago That look in your eyes Paints for me galaxies Daily, daily or nightly I’ll catch you on the telephone Darling, darling so slightly Wishing you were on your way home Daily, daily or nightly (And you’ll tell me) Darling, darling so slightly (Your steamy dreams) Honey, honey you’ve got me (Ripping of my clothes at the seams) Honey, honey you’ve got me Daily, daily or nightly Darling, darling so slightly Honey, honey you’ve got me Honey, honey you’ve got me

Fault 05:05
There’s a pause in your breath, I know it There’s a fault in your step, I can tell If nothing is wrong then you’re lying The water’s all gone from your well But there’s a pattern in the groove From within we cannot move Yet you know why you can’t Make that bargain Cautious with the dust From a novel western lust But still something’s loud In your fretfulness A breach in the wall of your center The same conversation took us here The things that I do are just habit Getting all of their steam from my fears But there’s a pattern in the groove From within we cannot move Yet you know why you can’t Make this bargain Cautious with the dust From a novel western lust But still something’s loud In your fretfulness And you know why these quirks Make both us restless It’s apprehension that’s hold me back And none of your fault for the way that I act Please can you trust, can you tell how I love you? Please can you know, can you say that we’ll get through this We’ll get through this But why can’t we please make this bargain Cautious with the dust From a novel western lust But still something’s loud In your fretfulness And you know why these quirks Make both us restless

Living Room 04:38
There’s a living room Filled with all of our stuff I can’t get it to move Without unsettling dust How can you tell me That it’s a bad idea? There’s a space between us That’s thicker than we’ve built I can’t get it to close Without it triggering guilt I can dream all day ‘Bout what it’d be like For our pictures to share walls And the neighbors be nice I can dream all day ‘Bout what it’d be like For the road to be a hole And the same bed every night How can you tell me That it’s a bad idea Why can’t I tell you That it’s a bad idea

Mise En Place, the band’s upcoming sophomore full-length, weaves together the uncertainty of adulthood with a personal desire to establish existential structure. It also marks the band’s first release with San Francisco-based Father/Daughter Records. Revolving around a formative relationship, this album tells the story of Cohen’s conflicting roles as both person and partner while highlighting a sophisticated, dimensional sound from the band at large. In Mise En Place, arrangements take center stage, overwhelming the guitar-centric sound that had dominated their early releases. This new band dynamic comes together articulately in the album’s lead single, Living Room. Moody and honest, with tracks that express both joy and isolation, Mise En Place explores the struggle to evade traditionalism, define personal success, and balance the expectations of love.

Mise En Place comes out on Father/Daughter Records on May 5th, 2017. You can find the band somewhere between Austin and New York City.
