about

Portal To The Sunset is the newest single from In Lieu Of Roses upcoming EP For Eternity. The song is a sprawling shoegaze and emo leaning indie rock track in the same channel as bands like Pity Sex, Balance and Composure, and Rainer Maria. Portal To The Sunset meanders through beautiful layers of reverb-drenched guitar, vocals, and drums guided by an ever-present and hypnotic shaker while guitarist and singer Eric Naroden details his reflections on his grandfather’s death, a year after the event.

Portal To The Sunset appears on In Lieu Of Roses new EP, For Eternity, recorded by Ben Roth and Jon Smith at The Kalaidescope Studios, by Sean Reilly at Studio North in Philadelphia, and by Mattie Klauser.

lyrics

I lift the shade, mirror exposed
A standing stone, no rock of my own, no rock of my own
Staring down the edge of the earth
A year gone by
And where I sit, used to be where angels fly

Portal to a Sunset

Busy West Coast getting trashed with my friends
Inevitably a safe bet
Swore I'd say the Kaddish for you
Moses's blessing unto you
Quit smoking in 1991 for the birth of your grandson
I'll take another drag for you
Even if you wouldn't want me to
