Jay Jordan Eighty’s releases just keep getting better and better. This album is so smooth and satisfying. Her infectious hooks and melodies over beautiful dnb beats is top tier. Love Eighty’s vocals so much. Can’t wait for what’s next. Thank you, Eighty!!! Favorite track: Scribbles (feat. Drainpuppet).

sbszine I wasn't expecting a liquid jungle record from Eighty, but hooray anyway. Her high pitched vocal really suits the style: somewhere between Hospital Records and early rave era Moving Shadow. Favorite track: Same tasks.

Curved lines, Circles on the inside Turn around, there’s no use Pumping all the same blood through my System Trying to make its way out in a bruise Colours changing by the day Just starting with the same pale blue Looking through the sky over the city Obviously everything’s a Loop It’s so, so sad When we’re up, we’re falling back Sinking halfway through the atmoSphere Go down for air again Pale spots fingers press on hands We’ll watch filling in again You’ll always be my best friend You’ll always be my best friend I’m bound to it Around again, Around again, under my skin Cyclical, I’m zip-tied Pretty on the inside I miss my new self I miss my new self Cynical in bliss now Kiss me on the wrist cause You know me too well You know me too well

Same tasks 02:21
Loop me in ‘Cause I’m caught inside the Loop again And tell me, how do I forgive my skin When I know everyone was listening back then And when I’m waking up, well, it could be the fall for all that I’ve become And I could still be locked inside the room I was for all the things I’ve done These same tasks will keep me safe These same tasks will make sure I don’t break This trap will stay in place ‘Cause I’d really rather not be gnawing at my leg These tasks will keep me safe These same tasks will make sure I don’t break This trap will stay in place ‘Cause I’d really rather not be gnawing at my leg Hey, gnawing at my leg Nothing I can say Never mind that I cannot resist pushing away what isn’t grey or shades of blue ‘Cause I am still convinced this is my punishment for what I put you through That still feels true

Smoke in my eyes, is it ever gonna be more clear? Ran out of Time, ran away just to wait right here Go where you like, you can never make it disappear Seeping in through all the cracks I took this on, I take it, take it back Hey, what the hell did you think you would have to do? No way around, you were told, it was only through Throw off the coat that you wove from a thread of truth You know the rest won’t keep you warm Your vision’s warped, you almost missed the storm Your clothes are wet, cold to the core Your vision’s warped, you almost missed the storm Smoke in my eyes, is it ever gonna be more clear? Ran out of time, ran away just to wait right here Close to the end where you said you could still drop out Show me again how you got where you are right now How did you think you could turn anything around Just playing out the same old Loop You took this on and now it’s up to you
4.
breakers 02:22
Everything, slow me down Take me by the arms Hands locked in my own Show me where to start I need to get over myself and stay there I like to talk ‘til I’m dry, like to waste air Everyone only wants me to take care Hard to trust that we’re just gonna play fair Are you on my side? (Leave a lot of it to life, seasons change and so do I) Can I close my eyes (When I think I need to try, I fuck up most of the time) Never get it right No, except when I said that All it takes is Time This time, it’ll be different It’ll be different It’ll be different It seems insane ‘til the distance shows me it’s always come true And I say this time, it’ll be different It’ll be different It’ll be different And what stays the same is it’s always when I stop fighting over what to do I’ve been alone and it’s bad for me It’s bad for me I’ve been alone, I don’t have to be I don’t have to be

Baby, I am feeling blind And a little disconnected Time and Time again, you’re overTime Working my perspective Let me see edges, let me see walls Tell me my expectations were false A concave lens to make everything small Call everything off Don’t want to know what I could have been no more Don’t want to know what I should have been there for You’re keeping secrets from me again for sure You’re keeping secrets from me again Now every time I look over my shoulder, there’s a hole in the plot Colours you swore there were not A curtain coming apart A picture fading from off the stage and into the backdrop From which everyone’s distracted by a dancer, Spinning out, frantic Suddenly composing herself like she was a symphony delivered from God Cause it was never her fault Now everything that she wants Is leaping to its feet, receiving her in ecstasy I’m in San Francisco Holed up in a hotel My friends are at a party, couldn’t tell you what goes down She hails from the West Coast She’s covered in gold I want her, you’re gonna have to give it up, just let me go now I want her, you're gonna have to let me go I want it, you're gonna have to let me know
6.
You don't know how I feel Now I'm looking at the page again ‘Cause it doesn't seem to make sense And I'm saying that I'll try my best If you tell me what the game is I just want to know what's in your head ‘Cause i'm scared that it's contagious I don't know if I should say this But I don't want to be famous My heart keeps up, it knows we're all racing I'll fall behind if that's where I'm facing Caught up in what the plan yesterday was Hurry up, turn Around, that was then, this is now I might come off a little impatient Guess I forgot the way that it's played where Everyone covers up all their own bases And everyone loves you right until you say shit You said everything would be fine Promised me some peace of mind Find out I don't keep mine Lose it and I weep again You said everything would be fine Everything would be fine Every day my baseline sinks a little deeper down No one has to stop and ask you Don't be so emotional and difficult They don't mean anything they tell you, this is typical You should know No one has to come and catch you And nobody is waiting with a ticket out So there's a lot that if you want, you gotta figure out on your own If I give you everything i can Do you promise that you'll let me heal? Are you writing out the perfect plan Just to keep me on an even keel Guess I fell into a dream again As to the definition of a deal ‘Cause when you told me that you understand, I just wanted that to be real

Wait for you to notice I’m fading out of focus We’re swaying in and out of touch and running out of Time Just waiting for a moment I don’t know where I’m going It still feels like I’m floating, almost feels like I’m alive And I don’t want to go to sleep without you right now ‘Cause all I ever talk about’s about you right now Just how long does this go on? I’ve been waiting for so long So long, so long, goodbye So long, goodnight So long, goodbye Under the cold moon Holes in the sky that it snows through I should let you know, I should go soon You should let me go, I’m a ghost too Don’t know if I told you the things that I see when I’m sleeping Keeps me believing No other road, so I flee when you’re dreaming Sweet for a season
