With a dazzling palette of sound—from the stretched-out rock anthems of Oasis, to the languid guitar-pop of Mac DeMarco, and the woozy beat-driven songcraft of King Krule—the debut album by Shelter Boy is a striking introduction to an artist using classic ideas to mine modern life’s pitfalls.

lyrics

Honey it scares me
The way I look at her
Honey it scares me
Wish that you needn ́t care
And I don ́t believe that I can hide my feelings
Honey I ́m vulnerable
Hope that we ́re both just dreaming
But we ́re just sleeping

You said it ́s time for a change
I think the message is gettin ́ clearer
Now break the law
I turn my absence into my fear

It ́s gettin ́ outta hand
Still wanna be by your side
You got me going round the bend
touch involves another fight
But I don ́t believe that I can hide my feelings
Honey I ́m vulnerable hope that we ́re both just dreaming

you said it ́s time for a change
I think the message ́s gettin ́ clearer
Now break the law
I turn my absence into my fear
