another year gone by – wondering why
you’re writing so much less – you’re smoking so much more
choosing to resign
spare the doors - go take a walk outside
lost everything in fire
stay on the right side of desire
ignoring all the signs you swore you required
lost everything in fire
I shuffle around the apartment – analyzing what you meant
assuming what I can – about your intentions
and this thing - you won’t mention
Kelly Duplex’s s/t first full-length album is informed by senses of loss both circumstantial and chosen, a wry but vaguely positive outlook on millennial parenthood, the wool-blanket heat of summer in New Orleans, dreams of fractions, incessant list-making, and an abundance of opinions regarding Sylvia Plath. Written over the span of two years, Avrard’s guitar pop affections have culminated into this: a carefully realized debut on which the band display their emotional and musical relationships.
