I have gotten super boring and listen to choral music on public radio a lot. this one gets pretty intense in the final movement, reminds me of swans ca. the seer
imagine finding out your son is your daughter & she's into noise music
Kathryn Joseph’s new album, “WE WERE MADE PREY.” I had picked up on her around her second album. Her third had been stretching past piano into EP sounds. But this one has dark, gritty synth sounds that are still her. Feels like one of those albums you keep on repeat for a month, at least for me.
i've already talked about the most recent DIIV album, but for some reason i never bothered to look up the lyrics for the songs other than my two favorites (no lyric sheet with CD). i put the disc on in the car this morning and decided to look up the lyrics to the first song, "In Amber," and fuck me if he didn't absolutely nail the way it feels to have to live in this moment.
I can't look away
In anger
I want to disappear
In amber
Swallowed by a fantasy
To be the end of history
An anchor
You want to disappear?
Our prayers are answered
My eyes have seen it all
Nothing's forgotten
I find it's hard to
Imagine a shock
The rotating villains
Profit off suffering
A doomsday machine glitch
Is our new god
The banality of evil
Poisons the garden
Bearing false witness
Sparing no cost
Remember they told us
The tide lifts our boats up
That ocean is dried out
And I can't look away*
I can't look away
I can't look away
In anger
I want to disappear
I want to disappear
I want to disappear
I want to disappear
I want to disappear
