Red Onion 02:10
oh i fell for you completely not subtle or discretely the night was cold we huddled close a snowflake landed on your nose we locked eyes through your orange hair i could take it from there we hopped a bus then things went fast we reached my stop then rode right past the ice it nearly froze my thigh but i'm burning up inside girl you're gonna break my heart you told me that right from the start i'm so surprised I'm having fun the hurting's just begun the night it passed and morning came the winter wind blew out the flame I stayed in bed so desperately still holding on to what might be an empty smile a little laugh got up to break my morning fast i'm so surprised I'm having fun the hurting's just begun an empty smile a little laugh got up to break my morning fast i'm so surprised i'm having fun the hurting's just begun the hurting's just begun the hurting's just begun i'm eating a red onion i'm eating a red onion

Trippin' 03:00
oh i've been slippin' reality means marginally more than me masking my misery so let's go trippin' to a foreign land anywhere where people do things i understand it's time i step outside myself but i can't do it by myself and i'm always talking bout myself and that ain't right yeah I've been slippin' in fantasy in paintings of places only i can see so let's go trippin' i need a hand in pulling me and my big head up out of the sand it's time i step outside myself but i can't do it by myself and i'm always talking bout myself and that ain't right see how i'm slippin' so let's go trippin'

Brain Dead 02:44
tell me what to think tell me what to do my heart's beating red but my brain's been dead since i met you i feel i need a drink to keep from feeling blue you're turning me on but i'm off in my head since i met you i'm looking at the TV screen hoping for a hopeful scene no dice my bed is filled with dreams of us so why am i so serious? it's nice help me out give me a sign i need a nudge across the line nothing's ever ever gonna be fine tell me what to think tell me what to do my heart's beating red but my brain's been dead since i met you i feel i need a drink to keep from feeling blue you're turning me on but i'm off in my head since i met you

Window 03:31
go ahead and stare it's hard to care anymore all that i once knew is lost from view i'm still ashore stay inside and play this day away look out the window see the passing breeze what kind of trees i don't know everybody knows this place god will never show their face
5.
Older 03:53
i'm just getting older i wanna go farther my mind won't stop racing i'm just like my father i'm not getting richer i'm not growing fonder i'm spending my money i'm wishing to wander i'm stuck in this body i won't know another i can't keep from falling my toes keep on tripping i'm just like my mother i'm just like my brother when will this be over? when will i feel stronger? i'm waking up every day in a daze i can't take this much longer my heart's getting ready just need to unlock it red rover red rover roll over the boulder the word of the prophet i'm just getting older

about

Perfect Posture’s debut EP, WINDOW, features songs spanning 4 years of writing, scrapping, and revising.

On WINDOW, simple melodies, textured keyboards, and hypnotic drum machines provide a bed for Budde's intimate reflections on the relationship between self-introspection and communal responsibility; between lofty ideals and an oft-unsatisfying reality.

Blending direct, conversational lyricism of pop balladeers Jens Lekman & Arthur Russell with the seductive atmospheres of dream-pop pioneers Broadcast & Beach House, WINDOW invites listeners in while simultaneously guiding them away to a lush world of its author’s creation.

This sonic world provides a consistent backdrop for a 15-minute journey that can be seen as a path towards maturity. Frustrated romantic reveries ("Red Onion," "Brain Dead") give way to patient portrayals of underlying depression ("Trippin,'" "Window") leading to a cathartic resignation to one’s limitations in the album’s closer. ("Older.")

WINDOW embraces each experience as a necessary step in the author’s journey, retaining hope that a brighter future may be waiting on the other side.
