About this release
Anymore was the second song we built together, but it didn’t come together easily. The drums, especially, resisted us. We tried to find a groove that felt natural, something familiar to lean on — but nothing fit. The song didn’t want a backbeat. It didn’t want comfort. It wanted tension. What emerged was a rhythm that avoids the expected, sidesteps the offbeat, and never quite settles — a subtle unease that mirrors the emotional terrain of the lyrics.
Tristan brought the song in fully formed — melody, chords, arrangement, the whole architecture intact. My role was simply to listen for what it needed. And what it needed wasn’t propulsion; it was discomfort. Anymore lives in that quiet space where relationships stall out — where avoiding hard conversations feels easier than having them, where we start keeping score over things that don’t matter, where we forget that every day is a choice about the future we’re building together. The drums don’t resolve because the characters haven’t. They circle the question without landing on it. The song asks what happens when “easy” becomes the standard we measure love against — and what it costs when we stop reaching for something deeper.
Lyrics
You said come on by for dinner I knew it should've sounded nice Four years of dinners and they've always gone just fine Maybe I’m just too tired to talk on this tonight Don't make me say Why I'm just staring at my plate let's just fold it away. Save it for another day Watch a cooking show or something till it's late. And do we go on like it's all the same Cause that's what's easy because no one’s to blame Do we go on our own? Can we make it alone? When we're too scared to say that we don't feel the way that we've known Not anymore Summer morning on the river Laughs when I flipped our canoe To pack with all our food is floating out of you We'll just fly and ride the current like we always do Don't look away You'll miss the chance to swim ashore If it's safe and fine Is it all a lie? Or are we naive for always wanting more? So do we go on like it's all the same? Cause that's what's easy Because no one’s to blame Do we go on our own? Can we make it alone? When we're too scared to say that we don't feel the way that we've known Not anymore So do we go on like it's all the same? Cause that's what's easy Because no one’s to blame Do we go on our own? Can we make it alone? When we're too scared to say that we don't feel the way that we've known Not anymore Not anymore
