Gone Past 06:04
Go on back to the Old haunts Wishing, somehow, that they’ll be The same, the same, the same Goes to show the old Cycles Longing, someway, for the time Gone past, gone past, gone past A blessing and a Cursing Nothing, to do, except just Know it, know it, know it Goes to show the old Cycles Longing, someway, for the time Gone past, gone past, gone past Gone past, gone past, gone past

Slingshot 04:23
A slingshot will propel Very far Like every one before You have got Momentum and I understand The hour of sight, the darkness of flight Get out of, roll into, someone else’s We’re all trying to get away from The same place I let it go more and More, less and less Do things hold much Importance

Hush 04:04
Money here Money there Oh hush hush hush We don’t care Oh hush hush hush hush Oh hush hush hush We don’t care We don’t care It’s a ride Just a ride Oh hush hush hush We decide Oh hush hush hush hush Oh hush hush hush We decide We decide Nothing will save us, save us! No Nothing will save us, save us! No Nothing will save us Save us Nothing will save us Save us

The Days 04:42
The days run frayed Fritter them away Night comes All the same Bouts of fog roll in And then there’s lightning Blinding Strobe lighting Stretch out Dark hours Stretch out Desire Stretch out Dark hours Stretch out It dawned on me The wherewithal to Do this Lawlessness Bouts of fog roll in And then there’s lightning Blinding Strobe lighting Stretch out Dark hours Stretch out Desire Stretch out Dark hours Stretch out Lull into lead Try to fall asleep Weightless Same old dreams Bouts of fog roll in And then there’s lightning Blinding Strobe lighting Stretch out Dark hours Stretch out Desire Stretch out Dark hours Stretch out

You can bury it Out of sight Out of mind But everyone knows What goes down Comes back up Sometime Glitter on Glitter on Glitter on the garbage You can bury it Out of sight Out of mind But everyone knows What goes down Comes back up Sometime Glitter on Glitter on Glitter on the garbage Glitter on Glitter on Glitter on the garbage One, two, and

All I Want 05:33
All I want is for you to know Don’t believe in love no more It’s just a word, that we search for It’s just a word, don’t matter anymore Just want someone around To fix the cupboard door Just want someone around To keep the bed so warm Just want someone around Forevermore ‘Cause honey I don’t believe no more All I want is for you to know Don’t believe in love no more It’s just a word, that we search for It’s just a word, don’t matter anymore Just want someone around To fix the cupboard door Just want someone around To keep the bed so warm Just want someone around Forevermore ‘Cause honey I don’t believe no more A fossil holds a shape Of something once there Don’t make it no less Now that it’s gone into thin air Oh thin air Oh thin air Oh thin air Thin air Thin air Oh thin air Thin air

For You 05:32
They always tire of your face Sooner or later Those August days Seem to last forever And the young they feel as though They’ll never get older Now the highways all standstill with cars Ain’t it sad to See them all Inching along We knew not how Far this would go We knew not how Far this would go Downtown Everything Might be Waiting for you Waiting for you Downtown Everything Might be Waiting for you Waiting for you For you, for you For you, for you For you, for you For you For you For you

We walk Through the big Intersections We walk Right through them We walk Right through them We walk Right through them You’re just another, mortal That is so plain, to see Sting of the cold, weather In the negative, degree We walk Through the big Intersections We walk Right through them We walk Right through them We walk Right through them

about

With every act of creation there is also a kind of destruction, as you transform an idea into being. You are channeling, materializing the message. What do you hear? Sift through the Neptunian realm of dreams, illusions and ideals. Some may say it is only by traveling through the shadow of the soul that we can find the true light of our being. Others will try to sell you the consolation prize instead. There’s a castle in the distance, and a troll is waiting under the bridge. Even our most difficult moments come and go – we walk right through them. We remain spellbound in the thick of it.

Reviews:

⭐ “heat sinking gem of droning euphoria” – Impose Magazine

⭐ “guard your hearts and your minds before you press play” – Sly Vinyl

⭐ “It’s all quite moody in Lore City, with lots of swirling whooshes, guitar strumming and someone, somewhere beating a drum with their hands” – Collective Zine

⭐ “few bands really inhabit the idea of the sound overwhelming a person in their entirety the way that Lore City does” – Independent Clauses

⭐ “Kill Your Dreams is less about the death of 'dreams,' perhaps, than about the death of nostalgia, perhaps even more… the death of any illusion that the past can ever be better than it was” – Goat Palace

⭐ “haunting vocals and some other-worldly production” – State

⭐ “billowing with dark tension and raw vocals, like a sad country ballad stuck in a hurricane” – CMJ

⭐ “should be experienced at maximum volume” – Raised by Gypsies

⭐ “Lore City might well turn your world inside out and upside down” – Weekend Notes

⭐ “awash with shoegazey reverb and a darkness of tone that constantly shifts to allow glimmers of light to shine through” – Crossradar

⭐ “light your candles and prepare yourself for a surreal music journey” – Scandalous

⭐ “Lore City finds a way to get into your head” – Sell Out Records

⭐ “atmospheric” – Sounds Better with Reverb

⭐ “somber and spiritual” – In Your Speakers
