Say hostage one more time
And I’ll turn this truck around
Until you reconcile
The sharp black of tonight
Under galloping foot
You asked me to this
And I merely obliged
Clutching a lilac envelope
A floral stamp and a lumped up throat
Water mirage
Gasoline
Aspirin
Lateral movement
Congealing horizon
Temper temper
It’s too revealing
A garrulous girl
On an unbleached evening
It’ll cost you about a buck to find out
Stealthily folding on finger down
Street cleaner
Meter reader
Post-man and woman
We’re out to deliver
The letter is heavy
And the package is yours
I can smell the curves
Of the words and roads
My body rights itself
My words they write themselves
In a most remarkable and rebellious stance
Like telling time without seeing the hands
Say “love you” one more time
And I’ll tear this letter up
And set the pages on fire
Hell is for horses who sleep in the shade
It’s by breathlessness that you can be made
How many ways can I fold you up?
Origami
Don’t try to stop me
I wanted to tell you but I never could tell
So I send my songs out through the mail
On and on and on I reckon
All the times I tried to say this
All the ways I tried to play this
Broken blooms and fading fragrance
Dresses strung with hopeful laces
Don’t forget to tell the waitress
She would never ‘ere betray us
Sweet and low I’m bowing out
On and on and on my treatise
Until the sky returns for vengeance
Trust the mail it’s never failed us
Sweet and low I’m bowing out
A high point in Damian Master's vast and varied output. This has so much if what makes A Pregnant Light great. Crushing, hardcore inspired rhythms, ripping guitar sections, soaring leads, emotional vocals, some really amazing and spacey interludes.
Reminds me variously of Deftones (the spacey parts on "Nebulous Smear" and Moss Icon ("Excruciating Finesse"), but mostly reminds me of a Pregnant Light. William Knight
36 choice cuts - one from each 2015 LP, plus music from new signings on the mighty and 25-years-strong Relapse label. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 4, 2015
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
