Special thanks to the folks at Backroom: Jon, Kevin, Scot, whoever tolerated my hovering about. My parents for funding so much of this even though my music spooks ‘em. They guy with the milk- was his name Kevin too? God, the milk thing was weird. Mike Bottiglieri, Dave English, and Mike Battista- although their full musical contributions didn’t make it to the album, their help with arrangement was instrumental. Pun intended. Thanks to my former romantic partners, and that nazi-looking girl in the corner of the room; we made eye contact a few times, remember me? Thanks to the band for working so hard. Thanks AVE, Jamface, Strange Thick. The gang. J Bob for Destroy to Enjoy. Y’all at HPC and the Tabernacle, for welcoming and helping to show me just how weird I can be. Bill Buehler for being inspiring- everything is a lot. Shroomboy/Zables and the Wills (Smith, Jackson, Sunshine) thanks for being and having been. Be bold with your love. Thanks to the sidewalk anti-folks. All the friendly homeless people. Everybody who participated in the gang vocals, the Chemical Reaction video shoot, or any aspect of any part of this process. If I’ve failed to remember your name in this, feel free to send me hate mail. I deserve it. -William

lyrics
I apologize for playing with your eyes, but I’m obsessed with you.
Rolling out of bed is morning in my head, ‘cause I’m obsessed with you.
Rose mirages into vases, I don’t stand a chance.
Quiet girls with wrist corsages, cordial silence, I can’t dance.
Holding breath by graveyards, salt over my shoulder, I’m obsessed with you.
Rainbow-walking cave-heart never will be bolder, I’m obsessed with you.
Chickenscratch Rembrandts of your likeness, all this nonsense makes me think.
My insides cry “try thy finest” why, then, am I at my brink?
I told Doctor Tillis to prescribe an illness, but he said his schedules filled with
Children who need Prozac, Prilosec and Lo-jack, triple-sec and Lexapro
For second-guesses. Drugs that heal. So we can touch instead of feel.
Oh, I apologize for playing with your eyes, but I’m obsessed with you.
Bite your tongue and smile, stick around a while. I’m obsessed with you.
Neurotic erotic, neurotic erotic, neurotic erotic, neurotic erotic,
I’m obsessed with you.
On “Spirit Breeze,” Dylan Gilbert starts from folk roots, but gradually adorns his songs with rich textural elements. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 19, 2022
