‘Epilogue (After Touch)’ conjures an existence, where a linear progression of time no longer seems applicable. With reference to cinematic narrative, the lyrics touch upon living in a contemporary culture that seems to be referential and symbolic of what’s already in the past.
lyrics
Outside the lines I’ve drawn to shadow
where I got lost in the plot,
or if I’m reeling.
Touchdown can feel like an arrival
like a movie that’s faded out.
But, I still wonder what’s behind
(this) Life is how you frame it
You just sigh (But) you just have to fail to break it
Culture is a gift that keeps on taking.
If you’re not feeling low,
You’ll never get back up to find
Life is how you frame it.
You just sigh,
you just have to fail to break it.
You just slide,
and you walk it off to be there somewhere else.

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe. Crow Yo

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.
