The Curse of Bridge Hollow Common Sense Bridge Hollow, a small and seemingly ordinary town, is plagued by a peculiar curse. It is not a curse of witches or vengeful spirits, but rather a curse of the lack of common sense. The residents of this town, for reasons unbeknownst to anyone, are devoid of basic rationality in their decision-making process and daily actions. One might wonder how such a curse could affect an entire community. The answer lies in the consequences it brings. People in Bridge Hollow make the most baffling choices, often with disastrous outcomes.
"TVI" sounds a lot like their early material, energetic surf punk mixed with power pop, really playful and uplifting. Fairly strange placement in the album
Self Portrait is my favourite from the bunch since it manages so well to be abrasive yet full of vulnerability, it s almost a post-hardcore song, which I didn t expect and 2 38 gives me goosebumps every single time I hear it. Unwell takes the energy down a notch and it leans purely into vulnerability, it almost reminds me of The 1975 in the first minute and a half of the song, then it explodes into heavy menacing guitars and ends with a surprising piano and violin part, perhaps it would ve been a good idea to put this track at the very end.
People in Bridge Hollow make the most baffling choices, often with disastrous outcomes. For instance, they might decide to go for a swim in a crocodile-infested lake or use a ladder as a makeshift bridge across a canyon. This absence of common sense has far-reaching effects on the town's economy and infrastructure.
Surf curse magic hour album
This might be their most diverse release so far and I'm absolutely here for it
The album begins with "Arrow" reminiscent of 90's Pavementeque slacker rock. A fairly good vibey and energetic lil song that's trying to prime you for the pain that's to come
"Cathy " is a mellow Smashing Pumpkins flavored jangly piece of music with a slightly cheesy vocal delivery on the chorus
"Sugar " almost sounds like heartland rock, and it's where I feel that the gut punching part of the album begins. The lyrics are pretty sparse, but it makes up for that with raw emotion
"Lost Honor " is a good old indie rock and post-punk revival-tinged song, I think that people who like Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever will enjoy this (including myself)
The lyrics really hit home. 2:45+ is really anthemic and it makes you want to sing along to
"Self Portrait" is my favourite from the bunch since it manages so well to be abrasive yet full of vulnerability, it's almost a post-hardcore song, which I didn't expect and 2:38+ gives me goosebumps every single time I hear it. An almost perfect song
"Unwell" takes the energy down a notch and it leans purely into vulnerability, it almost reminds me of The 1975 in the first minute and a half of the song, then it explodes into heavy menacing guitars and ends with a surprising piano and violin part, perhaps it would've been a good idea to put this track at the very end
"Strange" is a fairly forgettable slacker rock tune
"TVI" sounds a lot like their early material, energetic surf punk mixed with power pop, really playful and uplifting. Fairly strange placement in the album
"Little Rock 'n' Roller" is a little indie rock tune that fans of Twin Peaks and perhaps Peach Pit will probably enjoy. Nothing special really
"No Tomorrows" is a slow bedroom pop tune, something like Yellow Days or Palace that turns into noisy psychedelia towards the end. Can't say I care much for it
"Fear City" now this is something I didn't expect, or perhaps I should have expected since these last few years UK based art punk was all the rage. They did a flawless job at incorporating the saxophone (even if they could've played more diversified notes on it) and the subdued/energetic parts are almost perfectly blended in
"Randall Flagg" is yet another Pavementesque slacker rock tune that is executed really well and has probably the best lyrical content on this album
I rate it 7.5 due to the presence of a few fillers, and some songs that although good they felt quite derivative.
Favorite tracks:
-Self Portrait
-Sugar
-TVI
-Fear City
Least favorite tracks:
-Strange
-Little Rock 'n' Roller

Businesses suffer as customers are deterred by the outrageous practices and lack of logical reasoning. Bridge Hollow's bridges, roads, and public facilities are in a constant state of disrepair due to poor maintenance and inappropriate usage. It is evident that the curse has created a chaotic and nonsensical environment in this seemingly mundane town. Interactions among the townsfolk are also marred by the curse. Everyday conversations are filled with illogical arguments and irrational conclusions. The lack of common sense creates an atmosphere of confusion and frustration, making it difficult for individuals to communicate effectively and reach a consensus. Disagreements abound, leading to a divided and discontented community. However, it is crucial to note that the curse of Bridge Hollow's lack of common sense does not mean the residents are unintelligent. They possess knowledge and abilities, but it is their inability to apply common sense that plagues them. This nuance only adds to the perplexity surrounding the curse and deepens the mystery of its origin. Efforts to lift the curse have proven futile thus far. Wise outsiders who have tried to intervene and instill some semblance of reason in the town's affairs have been met with resistance and skepticism from the locals. It seems that their distorted perception of reality has become ingrained in their minds, making it nearly impossible to break free from the curse's grip. In conclusion, the curse of Bridge Hollow's lack of common sense has resulted in a town where rationality has become a rare commodity. The consequences of this curse extend to all aspects of daily life, affecting the economy, infrastructure, and social interactions of its residents. The mystery surrounding the curse and the difficulties in finding a solution only add to the perplexing nature of this peculiar and unfortunate situation..
