Where do you run when people try to find you out What creeps in and guides the arc that holds the doubt Raining down your shoulders and splintered wings Swore upon a scraped-up knee to never strain those strings Where always is whatever changed to while Just sleep away those arboretum miles My visions of the harbored grey through wire Kissed in sheets of pessimistic smiles Where do you run when people try to find you out What creeps in and guides the arc that holds the doubt Raining down your lips, drown in the wine Dare I take a single step to gothic halls behind Where always is whatever changed to while Just sleep away those arboretum miles My visions of the harbored grey through wire Kissed in sheets of pessimistic smiles Where always is whatever changed to while Just sleep away those arboretum miles My visions of the harbored grey through wire Kissed in sheets of pessimistic smiles

Another cocktail toward my trepidation French blue affections left in stations Gargoyles that cry along the Eastern spires Wings too short to fly, in decline It's miserable to feel any better than before Does it turn you on? By yourself Just the touch of loneliness What secret phrase could grace the silence we revived Could it strike you strange? Message made In a cup of loneliness Religious tension in estates of sparkling haze To cautiously exciting imitations laid Resonating fright of comest vandalized Resonating fright I'll never cross your mind It's miserable to feel any better than before Does it turn you on? By yourself Just the touch of loneliness What secret phrase could grace the silence we revived Could it strike you strange? Message made In a cup of loneliness

about

Following up on their "Zoo Avenue" EP, The Laughing Chimes are back with "Arboretum Miles," a sublime single that brings new life into the classic indiepop of the 80s, 90s and 00s. Labels like Flying Nun, Creation and Sarah are obvious references, but The Laughing Chimes's songs are imbued with a youthful vigor and fresh tunefulness that's readily apparent from the first jangly notes of "Arboretum Miles." Melody and reverb-soaked guitar wraps longingly around lyrics that speak to the universal urge to hide one's feelings out of the fear they will be trampled.

"Estates of Sparkling Haze" is the single's double A-side, a song of contrasting mood builds a melancholy pop track out of the fog of loneliness and the evolution of folklore. The mysterious vibe of the track fishes from the pools of contemporary indie pop and post punk of the 80s.
