We wrote about Aimee Lin’s Kissing Fractures late last year, describing how she writes “candidly about her fears and anxieties in simple but poetic verse” on Lost Self. We were therefore delighted when she agreed to be part of Quiet, Constant Friends, submitting a new song. ‘I Drank Phosphorus With My Aunt Lucy’ is a similarly short-but-oh-so-sweet track, disarmingly sincere and sad, sounding like a late autumn afternoon where the fading sun casts everything in a melancholic light. As Don DeLillo once wrote, “…the time of year, time of day, for small insistent sadness to pass into the texture of things.”

The artwork for this one is by Liam.
