The pair blends new wave nostalgia, early emo, and punk with a modern pop sensibility, contrasting upbeat rhythms against sullen, emotionally evocative lyrics. Forming in late 2017, the duo’s debut EP ‘Corsage,’ a moody, lo-fi set of self recorded synth driven tracks, gained the band quick traction and a series of tour dates through 2018. The tour garnered the attention of Philadelphia based label Born Losers Records, who went on to release the band’s debut album, ‘New Arrangements.’ Following a successful album release and consistent touring, Frye and Ramone then released an acclaimed two track 7” titled, ‘Uncrossed/To You,’ in the fall of 2019. 2020 saw the release of the band’s most matured set of songs to date, the sophomore album, ‘The Night We Raise,’ which heavily expanded the signature sound of the group while continuing to showcase the pair’s DIY mentality. Despite releasing during quarantine, “The Night We Raise” has sold thousands of vinyl copies and received praise from Bandcamp, Post-punk.com, and Pop Matters.

Fate
Korine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I COULDN'T HAVE YOU
WHERE I WANTED SO I WEEP
I ALWAYS FIND MYSELF
JUST SINGING TO THE STREETS
MY HEARTS ABLAZE
CAN YOU PUT IT OUT?
WHAT DOES IT TAKE?
I WANT TO SHOUT
DON'T SAY THIS WILL BE
THE END IF YOU KNOW PAIN
WE WILL BE THERE
HOLDING HANDS
I JUST CAN'T EXPLAIN
HOW I KNEW YOU WERE THE ONE
IT'S YOUR EYES AND FATE
DANCING IN A SETTING SUN
YOU WANT CROSS ME?
THEN I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT IT IS
I'LL BURN A CANDLE
AND I'LL HAVE YOU FEELING SICK




AND IN YOUR DREAMS
YOU WILL SEE MY FACE I CAN CHILL YOUR HEART SO YOU'LL NEVER WAKE
