Honesty 03:12
The longer that I stay here More clearly I can see I feel each point of contact Is this real honesty? I’ve always looked away But now I’m feeling sane If it’s inside of me Is this real honesty? So let me see your eyes And let me sympathize If it’s inside of me Is this real honesty? Stay with me stay in this now Don’t let the clock creep in Let’s listen to this silence Remember to begin I’ve always looked away But now I’m feeling sane If it’s inside of me Is this real honesty? So let me see your eyes And let me sympathize If it’s inside of me Is this real honesty?

I awoke in the same place yarrow grows and I to chase O recall what was I doing then? Chasing I? How do I pretend? But if there are two of me Which one do you see? Underlying and underfed Hide in wait to mug a friend Furled and fraught a throbbing thought (lodged in like a parasite) I see it now, see it now, see it now (hush hush hush) But if there are two of me Which one do you see? Which one’s telling me? Fill this self with sense Walls fade to fences This is present tense What’s wrong now? (Hush hush hush) But if there are two of me Which one do you see? Fill this self with sense Walls fade to fences This is present tense

My fingers float In somber tones A floor so high Is it worth a summer sky? And the motors bark Drowning out this spark Is it half inspired? Is it something to admire? Have I misplaced the fire? Or have I hit a wall? These jaded ways These wasted days A mental haze A far-sighted gaze has gotten to my brain I’m entertained I’m self-constrained When will I let go? When will I let go? When will I let go? When will I let go? And if this is me, Am I truly free? Forced to play a part A self-imposed work of art A stable mind Is often blind Looking in for hope But staring through a telescope And what of grating guilt? Will it ever wilt? These jaded ways These wasted days A mental haze A far-sighted gaze has gotten to my brain I’m entertained I’m self-constrained When will I let go? When will I let go? When will I let go? When will I let go? It’s not there yet Don’t lift your head It’s a waste of time It’s a secret They don’t need it It’s a waste of mine

about

GS031

"If this is the tone set for the rest of Sucreblooms sound, then consider this debut a frontrunner for one of our favorite new artists of 2021." - EARMILK

"Lee strikes on moments of swelling beauty, lush instrumentation, and soulful vocals, an alluring combination that Lee makes all the more rewarding with his introspective lyricism” - Under The Radar

Outgrow is the debut EP from Sucreblooms, moniker of the Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer, Erick Lee, previously frontman of Modern Rivals — who Pitchfork praised for a vocal performance conjuring up “present-day curiosity towards the endless access to the past.

The five-song offering combines blooming synth figures, deep bass, and pristine modern production as the backdrop for Lee's delicate vocals to explore the meaning of the self, and the anxieties that can take hold when we look for solace in our sense of identity. From moments of quiet stillness to swelling euphoric grooves, Outgrow maintains a deep sense of humanity while operating in the context of today's frenetic, tech-driven world.
