This is just a really lovely, positive-sounding track that feels like the previous segment of the album is coming to an end.
moth's notes:
this actually stands for "New York Baby Photos" which spoils most of the samples. I'm incredibly happy with how this turned out, New York Cheesecake sounds amazing at this tempo and the track manages to be both relaxing and exciting very easily.
Cheryl's notes:
i described this as "vaporwave stormclock" which shiny said was the intention i think so i guess he succeeded. also this introduced me to protodome
lyrics
You know you love me, I know you care
Just shout whenever and I’ll be there
You want my love, you want my heart
And we will never, ever, ever be apart
Are we an item? Girl, quit playing
We’re just friends, what are you saying?
Said "There’s another," and looked right in my eyes
My first love broke my heart for the first time, and I was like...
Baby, baby, baby (Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom) [New York]
Oh (Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room) [Cheesecake]
Like baby, baby, baby (We don't care) [Hot fudge]
No (we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams, but everybody's like) [Sundae]
Like baby, baby, baby (Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece) [Chocolate]
Oh (Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash) [Ice cream]
Thought you'd always be mine, (We don't care) [Treacle]
mine (We aren't caught up in your love affair) [Pudding]
Baby, baby, baby (And we'll never be royals, royals)
Oh (It don't run in our blood)
Like baby, baby, baby (That kind of luxe just ain't for us)
No (We crave a different kind of buzz)
Like baby, baby, baby (Let me be your ruler, ruler)
Oh (You can call me queen bee)
Thought you'd always be mine, (And baby, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
mine (Let me live that fantasy)
Baby, baby, baby oh
Like baby, baby, baby no
Like baby, baby, baby oh
Thought you'd always be mine, mine
Oh, for you I would have done whatever [New York cheesecake]
And I just can’t believe we ain't together (My friends and I, we've cracked the code) [Hot fudge sundae]
And I wanna play it cool, but I'm losing you (We count our dollars on the train to the party) [Chocolate ice cream]
I'll buy you anything, I'll buy you any ring (And everyone who knows us knows) [Treacle pudding]
And I'm in pieces (That we're fine with this)
Baby, fix me (We didn't come from money, but every song's like)
And just shake me 'til you (Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom)
Wake me from this bad dream (Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room)
I'm going down, down, down, down (We don't care; we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams)
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, God, I, I
Every memory of looking out the back door (Baby, baby, baby)
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor (Oh)
It's hard to say it, time to say it (Like baby, baby, baby)
Goodbye, goodbye (No)
Every memory of walking out the front door (Like baby, baby, baby)
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for (Oh)
It's hard to say it, time to say it (Thought you’d always be mine)
Goodbye, goodbye (mine)
I miss that town (Baby, baby, baby)
I miss their faces (Oh)
You can't erase (Like baby, baby, baby)
You can't replace it (No)
I miss it now (Like baby, baby, baby)
I can't believe it (Oh)
So hard to stay (Thought you’d always be mine)
Too hard to leave it (mine, Luda)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Now I'm all gone
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Now I'm all gone (Look at this photograph)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Every time I do, it makes me laugh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Now I'm all gone (Every time I do, it makes me)
Gone

rly dense, interesting mashup album. goes far beyond "acapella and instrumental" and into some rly accomplished and exciting plunderphonics Allison Fleischer
gorgeous lofi ambient pop album. has a lot of surprises and refuses to really show its hand at first. deeply personal and affected me in ways i cant rly describe Allison Fleischer
Another stunning ensemble from Fievel Is Glauque’s Zach Phillips, these two dozen songs showcase his inimitable songwriting style. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 9, 2023
Giddy music that could easily score a playful Nintendo game, these are bright, chirpy melodies designed to bring a smile. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 3, 2023
