In “North Korea & the Five Stages of Grief,” the strings draw and maintain the attention of the listener. In “Cusp” it’s the guitar hook, which is seemingly circular in its repeating pattern. The “dark” voice in the background of the final thirty seconds of “Cusp” is an interesting touch.
The songs are those of Forebear, a band based in Los Angeles. The members of Forebear are Scott Goldbaum (lead vocals, guitar), Molly Rogers (viola, keys, vocals), Mike Musselman (drums), and Nick Chamian (bass).

Lyrics
of “CUSP”
I laughed
so hard
was it
a joke
I
nearly choked to death
I’m not
trying
to
insult
your
dog-eared intellect
Jedi-mind
my P’s and Q’s tricks
dismiss
my case
file
away the fine print
pour me
anything
we are
same sides of a different coin
permanently
engraved with the year we were born
and the
languages we speak
I skip
chapters
and
episodes
I only
want to see
what
comes after
the
curtains close
the
characters you’ll be
Thought
I was
one to
try
anything
a second time
music
wars
sing or
speak
to an
addict’s heart
incessant
beat
thought
I was
safe at
night
you
were on the cusp
of
being right
this
kitchen sink I use to wash
my
hands and think before I talk
I
stopped trying
to take
control
and
filled my heart with peace
I
laughed until
the joke
got old
then
cried with late relief
Jedi-mind
my P’s and Q’s tricks
dismiss
my case
file
away the fine print
pour me
anything
we are
same sides of a different coin
permanently
engraved with the year we were born
and the
languages we speak
