I like that vintage photo filter And dressing like my dad Back when everything was full of promise And I had all that I had I like that vintage photo filter It brings me back in time Cause I’ve been skipping my coffee, saving my pennies And feeling kind of dead inside Now it’s only ativan Rental homes and broken plans Yeah everything is crystal clear Some days I want to disappear I like that vintage photo filter It reminds me of my mom She had the style, and she had the beauty But she’s been gone too long Now it’s only ativan Rental homes and broken plans Yeah everything is crystal clear Some days I want to disappear I know I can’t go back there It’s only on my phone Don’t even have a tape machine I faked this record at home I know I can’t go back there Feel like I’m bought and sold Cause every little part of my life Is just soulless ones and ohs Now it’s only ativan Rental homes and broken plans I’m crying to the internet Come on and fix this broken web Now it’s only ativan Rental homes and broken plans Yeah everything is crystal clear Some days I want to disappear

about

In 2021, I spent some time lost in thought about nostalgia, the rising cost of rent/living, why we all seem under so much more pressure than our parents' generation, and how the use of ‘vintage’ aesthetics in social media and fashion play into that.
I was also meditating on various types of loss - carefree childhood turning to complicated adulthood, the loss of our loved ones as life goes on, and the change of tactile relationships (people, equipment, environment) towards connection via computer chip. I then stepped outside of my comfort zone, made a drum loop, and called in a pair of synth-driven artists (Waants, Dalvay) to help fill out the sound for a 90’s-inspired summertime anthem to capture all this bittersweet melancholy.
"Vintage Photo Filter" might not solve any of our modern problems, but hopefully it's the right balance of brightness, contrast, and saturation to help get you through your day.
