Everyone involved with the making of this tape is great, but I've just gotta mention that Josh/Special Moves is a national treasure! Every track is a winner...
I met u a long time ago. It’s not normal now to be so fast. We’re fast friends. We have so much in common. I try to be the best version of me. Yr gonna pick me up. I pick u up too. It’s all the same to me. I like my life. I like yrs too. There’s nothing here I won’t do. U like the same things I like. It’s no coincidence. I look forward to this. I like to be alone. I like my life. I like to be with u but there are things I can’t promise. No guarantees about us. I am trying my best. I don’t mind if ur late. I have things to do.
Send your letters to 2121 5th Avenue. I’ve been running through the things I never got ‘round to saying to you. I was feeling old in the bitter New England cold. Now I’m sweating through my shirts in a shithole, but at least it’s new...but it’s not you.
Your scent’s still in my bed. I’ll come back when I’m dead.
REF-110 is a split EP featuring Olympia's SPECIAL MOVES and Richmond's YEEHAW JUNCTION. Who gave the punx drum machines and synths? SPECIAL MOVES is Joshua Hoey from BOX FAN/PARASOL/CONGRATULATIONS etc. playing "bedroom punk", YEEHAW JUNCTION is Nate and Shayla from HEAVY POCKETS/CAPTAIN SCRUNCHIE writing incredible pure pop hits.
