LTD BONE & GREY "ASIDE BSIDE" VINYL LP via FATHER/DAUGHTER RECS.

“The Great American Novel is a concept album about how Black genius, specifically my own, goes ignored, is relentlessly contested, or just gets completely snuffed out before it can flourish,” says vocalist Erik Garlington (he/him). “This record is a concept album that’s meant to read like a book; every song is a chapter following the protagonist through their 20s. Imagine a queer, Black Holden Caufield-type coming up in the 2010s.”The result is an album that is both lyrically and musically heavy, the former something fans have come to expect from Garlington’s unflinchingly honest lyrical content, but the latter something that’s refreshingly new. Channeling the heavier music he listened to during his adolescence—from post-hardcore outfit At the Drive-In to progressive metal band System of a Down—Garlington and the rest of Proper.—bassist Natasha Johnson (she/her) and drummer Elijah Watson (he/they)—push themselves in ways they haven’t before, culminating in an ambitious project that showcases the new sonic territory the band is heading in.

Produced and recorded by Bartees Strange and mixed and mastered by Brian DiMeglio, The Great American Novel clocks in at fifteen tracks including “Huerta,” which explores Garlington’s Mexican heritage, and “Red, White and Blue,” a commentary on the imbalance between the United States’ everyday citizens and elite class. The songs reflect the overall tone of The Great American Novel: abrasive, powerful, and beautifully poignant.“At the end of the day, what I wanted to do with this record is take Proper. in a direction that would surprise people on first listen, but end up making complete sense on the second or third listen. I think a lot of bands tend to go more pop but I wanted to make something both challenging and undeniably catchy,” Garlington said. “It all goes back to Black genius and how it’s ingested by the predominantly cishet, white male crowd. If they’re going to be a voyeur to the Black experience, I wanted to strip away all the cheeky song titles, lyrical inside jokes, and optimistic singalongs. I want them to hear this record and learn about our identity crises, our aimlessness, how many friends and family we know that are dead or in jail by 25. How, at eight we were told we were gifted but by 11 we were told we’re dangerous.”

Hydrated
Color: Collagen, Size: 1.69 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using Bio Dance cream and it feels very moisturizing and soothing on my skin. The texture is smooth, lightweight, and absorbs nicely without feeling too greasy. My skin feels softer and more hydrated after using it, especially when my skin feels dry or tired. It also works well under makeup and gives a healthy glow. A great cream for keeping the skin calm and hydrated.

Absolutely LOVE this product and product line!!!
Color: Collagen, Size: 1.69 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love it! I have noticed that buy using this entire system my skin looks plump - i.e. super hydrated!! I would agree that the product plumps (no weird tingling type of plumping). I have noticed that my pores do appear slightly smaller. This does leave your skin feeling slightly sticky, but it goes away once it has dried or soaked in. The sticky is not sticky it's more like your hair might stick to it a little bit. It does not last long and that factor also depends on how much product you are putting on. in the morning, I do a thinner layer of the cream. At night I put a thicker layer on. This product when used with the system makes my skin feel and look very soft, hydrated, and glowy. I have sensitive skin and I have no issues with irritation. In fact, I have acne prone skin, and my acne has fully cleared up since I began using this product line a month ago. I LOVE and will continue to use! Highly recommend!

Works wonders for my hormonal acne!
Color: Collagen, Size: 1.69 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have had the worst hormonal acne since turning 30, but this has made my pores shrink and cleared up my acne! I even went as far as not ordering it for a few weeks, and my skin looks rough again. I’m writing this review as I just added it to my cart for the second time. I do not want to go without it again. It’s super lightweight. It absorbs beautifully, and my skin glows afterwards. I’ve even been able to go without makeup, because of it and I want to cry tears of joy! It is so hydrating, but doesn’t leave a greasy residue like other products I have tried. Definitely worth the money!!

Great for smoother skin and refined pores
Color: Collagen, Size: 1.69 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this product consistently and I’m really impressed with the results. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel sticky or heavy on the skin. My pores look more refined, and my skin feels smoother and more hydrated. It works well under makeup and hasn’t caused any irritation or breakouts. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts quite a while. Definitely a great addition to a skincare routine, especially if you’re looking to improve skin texture and overall appearance.
