Influenced by The Strokes, Interpol, Television, The Velvet Underground. Vaughn Kiln was born in the shadow of Pittsburgh's defunct steel mills, and his music still carries their metallic ring. His father was an ironworker, and Vaughn’s wiry, jagged guitar lines are built on a similar logic of stress and tension. He writes songs in the basement of the row house he shares with his partner of seven years, the metalsmith Elara. These are taut, anxious anthems about staying put while the world moves on, set to the rhythm of freight trains in the night.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The clock on the oven blinks 3:18 AM.
Your reflection's ghosted on the window pane.
You trace the rebar pattern in the street,
I count the rhythm of your bare, cold feet.

[Chorus]
One day we'll kill to get this quiet back,
The rumble coming up the railroad track.
One day we'll ache for this exhausted glow,
I feel you memorizing it, I know.

[Verse 2]
The porch light throws a circuit diagram
Across the floor where all our old friends swam
Through smoke and conversation, hours past.
You say some kinds of silence are built to last.

[Chorus]
One day we'll kill to get this quiet back,
The rumble coming up the railroad track.
One day we'll ache for this exhausted glow,
I feel you memorizing it, I know.

[Bridge]
You picked a thread loose from my sleeve, so slow.
You whispered, "'Are we the girders, or the slow corrosion?'"

[Outro]
One day we'll kill to get this quiet...
