"Self-described "tenderpunks," Illuminati Hotties cherry pick from a variety of influences from 90s indie, garage and punk, to lo-fi and straight up pop, but Kiss Yr Frenemies never once sounds like a cluttered mess.
For someone who sings about making "rookie mistakes" in their life, Sarah Tudzin sounds like anything but one, at least on record. An L.A. based engineer and producer whose credits include everything from working with Slowdive and Porches to doing some sound design on the Hamilton soundtrack, she originally conceived Illuminati Hotties as a way of showing potential clients her work, with no intention of becoming an actual artist. (...)
Even when she lowers her guard she finds a way of mining beauty from heartache. This is especially true of 'Declutter' which is easily the most devastating song here. A hushed ballad consisting of nothing else than Tudzin accompanying herself with simple mournful piano, it exudes the same kind of stillness you experience from watching the snow falling on a quiet winter night. But when she utters the words "I don't love you anymore" toward the beginning, it's such an open and bruising confession that it catches you off guard.
Despite repeating the refrain "I don't care anymore," you can almost make out traces of sadness and regret lingering in her voice. A sweet voice message tacked onto the end that's likely from the now ex in question makes the whole thing that much more heartbreaking." - The 405, Jeremy Monroe, May 29 2018

♪ lyrics ♪
Cull the cardboard from the floor
I don't love you anymore
Lift each penny, the structure
Twice a season I try and declutter
I sift the sediment from the rocky grave
I can't tell you when I stopped feeling the same
I mailed the remnants to a friend
Wrote a phony name in the return address
I don't care anymore
Thrift shop, Goodwill store
I don't care
Or need it anymore
Mark the hours by my meals
Each decision's got me dragging my heels
Speak in only past tense
Shoulder to shoulder and shaking our heads
I don't care anymore
Thrift shop, Goodwill store
I don't care
Or need it anymore
[Voicemail: "Hey, um, sorry if you're sleeping... I have some good news for you, so. Um, I'm gonna go to sleep now, but, um, I was hoping to hear your voice. Thinking of you. Have a good night."]
