about
"Earlier this year, experimental pop musician Sean Draper, aka Pander Sera, put out her debut record, Bothy; today, she debuts a re-work of the excited single, ‘Gazebo’. The album is like live wires—electric and raw—and the new rendition finds fresh context amid overlapping acoustic guitars.
As fun as the noise is on Bothy, there is a sense of intimacy in Draper’s raw voice on ‘Gazebo Lite’, unobscured by reverb and other effects. The most significant difference between this and the original is Draper’s vocals; competing only with handclaps and six strings, every word is decipherable. Her wordplay shines backed by such clear instrumentation—even if the illumination does come from pyromania."
– Zoë Elaine, The 405
“'Gazebo Lite' came from a celebratory expression in the days leading up to Bothy's release. Finally able to let go of the album, I was having fun figuring out some gentler sing-along arrangements of the songs and found myself recording a version of 'Gazebo' at home with an acoustic guitar and a 5-gallon water bottle. It was important to me for listeners to get to hear a mood outside of the sonic parameters established in Bothy.”
– Pander Sera

lyrics
so built so structural
through form get comfortable
six walls without a door
better work with what we have
better spread apart the contents across the floor
empty out the pieces boy you'll find the corners gone
trapped in awareness of a frame never completed
dreamworld so persuasive must admit she's farther gone
weathered by the new mundane never defeated
time melts so flexible
push and pull a rookie vehicle
expose continuum
gotta dance delirium
gotta spar with every shadow till they
come empty out the pieces boy you'll find the corners gone
trapped in awareness of a frame never completed
dreamworld so persuasive must admit she's farther gone
weathered by the new mundane never defeated
there's safety beyond us
swell eruption from boundary
never learned how to say no to those who never carried no body
set fire make a new gazebo
set fire make it hand-painted carved from wood
still mired in a melted placebo
step forward even if you don't think you should
