Near the Lake We Forget to Count the Days by Ivy Knight

We trudge through days and weeks and months and years, locked in an endless cycle of mediocrity, disappointment, and decay. Once in a blue moon, the storm breaks, and a radiant beauty shines into this life that brings us to our knees; we wish to live in the light forever. Ivy Knight’s new EP Near the Lake We Forget to Count the Days gives us a ten minute reprieve from mundanity, as Knight frantically struggles to control and continue this fleeting moment of pure bliss. Their looping chord progressions give the reins to their poetry, allowing the words to set the pace and chart the progression. Every word on this tape ignites a piece of our past, sending us back to bright summer days that gave us the strength to continue to where we are today. Sometimes, we need to be reminded of the light behind the shadows. Somewhere, there’s a person shining by the lake.
