Exposition

by Hotel Cinema

supported by

Luis VT This album is pure gold. I'm sad they are not together anymore. Each song hits right in the feels.

Luis Espinosa Alor I love the new sound of the band. Favorite track: This Misfortune.

Michael Reilly A punchy and interesting power pop style features heavily on the first two tracks, which builds on the sound from the earlier release this year. Great vocals and production once again. Favorite track: Elegy.

1.	This Misfortune 03:58	lyrics
Keep me safe Oh soldier, keep me warm I've been misled a thousand times before Through the rain, across the southern states I've drawn a line I wish I could ignore Lay back down The dirt upon your brow is a barricade and I'm the screaming crowd Breathing slows I'm silent cause I know I've played the part And now the curtain's closed And maybe if she sang with more than her body, they would listen with their hearts She falls short of every dream she once had, fleeting one by one from this misfortune Used to play and weave through every day along the path of ageless beauty I came here, saw new amounts of fear through the doors of desperation And maybe if she sang with more than her body, they would listen with their hearts She falls short of every dream she once had, fleeting one by one from this misfortune Scared to reconcile, I'll sit here for a while …every inch of this bed has held my head. And maybe if she sang with more than her body, they would listen with their hearts She falls so short of every dream she once had, fleeting one by one from this misfortune
2.	Elegy 04:45	lyrics
I must go back to where I've known I need to cover my tracks since I have grown Oh I haven't been myself since the currents changed, sweeping you away Gotta get myself back to the place I met you And I feel your ghost in mirrors I'm staring through Search for what's lost on every shore I'm left combing the sand Pieces a drift the ocean floor Haven't been myself since the currents changed sweeping you away Gotta get myself back to the place I met you And I feel your ghost in mirrors I'm staring through
3.	Life In Ruin 04:25	lyrics
I don't know where you disappear to in the night all alone Have you lost all you know? Befriending sorrow, every night on your own And you're forcing yourself down, diving face first toward the ground, Leaving all your friends to wonder I ask how you're doin', but I don't have a clue Your life is in ruin, and mine is in plain view Reflections echo through a canyon Words wither, harbored in the void of your room every night And you're beating yourself down, chasing every fear around, Keeping all your secrets under I ask how you're doin', but I don't have a clue Your life is in ruin, and mine is in plain view We watch your world crumble down We watch your world crumble down Hairline fractures through the main that we once knew We watch your world crumble down And you're losing what you've found, chasing every fear around, leaving all your friends so hopelessly to wonder I ask how you're doin', but I don't have a clue Your life is in ruin, and mine is in plain view Your life is in ruin and mine is in plain view

The Oh Hellos have come to hold a very special place in my heart, not just in this album, but in others as well. Hello My Old Heart was one of the first songs I ever heard by them, and it's been a treasured journey listening to them ever since. ladyoforion

It's not often you see a debut EP so beloved that fans still get lit when they hear a song from it in concert. That's how good this is. weirdschlongbox
