Exclusive album premiere of ‘Small’ by Ever Ending Kicks, the solo project of Paul Frunzi (Hungry Cloud Darkening, LAKE, Mount Eerie) of Anacortes, Washington.

A trodden and quaint Pacific Northwest island community nearly absent from anything resembling a music scene. Trading manual labor for the time and the expertise of recordist Nicholas Wilbur (Angel Olsen, LAKE), Ever Ending Kicks offers a new album called ‘Small’, out March 18th on Moone Records.

Small explores a faltering emotional path to forgiveness in the midst of a drawn out love triangle involving a mentor. The narrator struggles to escape a cartoonish and sticky anger— sometimes totally stepping in it, other times finding some particular relief from it. We find a softened Frunzi allowing sweet early influences like The American Analog Set and Stereolab to come through in musical choices and moments, while also humbly channeling power from contemporary works like Lomelda’s ‘M’ for Empathy, Tirzah’s Devotion, and Nicholas Krgovich’s ‘OUCH’.

Wall-breaking choices throughout the album serve to strike a compromise between that evolved and lofty artwork every songwriter hopes to channel their heartbreak into, and the ugliness present in the reality behind the aspiration. Small exists in all the complexity and crudeness of a real experience, more complete than perfect.
