In the quiet warp, let me drift tonight with you
Let me choose the peace that’s meant to last
Glow in the dark, let me fall asleep
And dream of us, even if we forget
I'm fall fall falling
Why does it hurt so much?
It feels like I've erased our pictures
Where do memories go?
When we know we’ll talk again
Fall fall falling
Why does it hurt so much?
It feels like I've erased our pictures
Where do memories go?
When you're still here, here with me
Why does it hurt so much?
It feels like I've erased our words
Where do memories go?
When we know we’ll talk again

Dear,
Black Boboi
"Black Boboi's first album in five years, Sepia, is an alternative pop record that traverses trip-hop, techno, and ambient textures. The album was inspired by a fictional apocalyptic novel composed through a series of "correspondence letters" exchanged between the three members.
Upon finishing the final track, the listener is left with a profound sense of weight-much like the lingering feeling after watching a cinematic masterpiece-evoked by its free-form sonic imagery and lyrical world.
In a modern society radically transformed by technological innovation, where the traditional "givens" of ethics and morality no longer seem to apply, the expression Black Boboi releases today embraces the nostalgic (=Sepia) while simultaneously questioning how we will confront the future."
