your kind attention, please everything plastic wins when we break apart there is no maybe the bridge collapses under exodus we shrink with cold and crack next year weeds to fill the gaps when you feel the faint come, push harder blindfold me, spin me around start me in some new direction stop following the same old sounds

rescate 01:10
i walked down to the end of your drive time stopped, doorbells i never even tried you can't say no if i never even ask i never even asked...

did we kiss at backyard parties did we even say hello did i languish under trees or on beaches, writing epilogues to you a slideshow of folly and chances not taken

about

Description from tinhorn planet:
open windows is the third release in a month for the gifted children!

this 7-song EP packs a ton into a mere 11 minutes:

the title track's simple, repeating piano line ends up crashing into a cinematic wall of distorted bass, drums and saxophones to set the stage for the rest of the EP. there's also a completely re-recorded version of 'a forest', with its crescendo of delayed guitars, pianos and mandolins; 'rescate', a starkly pretty song about lost potential; noisy mini-anthem 'here comes the flood'; a sweet piano/voice/upright song, 'transcription (a certain sweetness)' and much more...

open windows, filled with many different ideas and yet completely coherent as a whole, ranks among the best releases from the gifted children.
