Blackball False, Truth! - Motion Sickness Conquers Heartbreak
There’s a Japanese tea commonly known as “flowering tea” that’s quite tasty and aesthetically appealing. Wound tightly into an unremarkably bland ball, the tea unfurls like a vibrant banner when exposed to the boiling water, exposing the gorgeous flower within.
I feel as if the first few minutes in this song by Blackball False, Truth! has scalding water being applied steadily, coaxing the inner bloom. And then all of the sudden, as if some cardinal wind simultaneously caught uncountable sails, the song flourishes, blooms, and flies into a beautiful clarity that warms my ears.
And the narrator thrives at the change. His voice swells at his realizations when he says “now I’m holding up everyone!” Far be it from anyone to be faced with sustaining everyone, most can hardly keep themselves up.

I’m excited for you guys. And I’m especially digging your first post Travis.
The singer in Blackball False, Truth really sounds like a more raw and sincere Julian Casablancas but that might just be me. I like it.
And I also invite everyone to try a pot of flowering tea. Its especially great for a group of friends just hanging out or for you and a date. Haha, I feel like I’m Heloise right now.
