This song is like getting razed in slow motion. If you've ever felt like there are people out there that don't wish you well, this puts it into words.
WHO WILL LOVE YOU IF I DONT
WHO WILL FUCK YOU IF I WONT
MAY FAILURE BE A GARMENT TO WRAP ROUND YOU
MAY FAILURE BE A BELT WITH WHICH TO GIRD YOU
MAY FAILURE BE A NOOSE WITH WHICH TO HANG YOU
WHO WILL LOVE YOU IF I DONT
WHO WILL FUCK YOU IF I WONT
MAY FAILURE BE A GARMENT TO WRAP ROUND YOU
MAY FAILURE BE A BELT WITH WHICH TO GIRD YOU
MAY FAILURE BE A NOOSE WITH WHICH TO HANG YOU
(YOU HAVE CUT ME DOWN
YOU HAVE CUT ME DOWN
I AM GONE LIKE A SHADOW AT EVENING
I AM SHAKEN OFF LIKE THE LOCUST
I AM LOSING
I AM LOSING)
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN AROUND ME
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN AROUND ME
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN AROUND ME
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN AROUND ME
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN AROUND ME
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN AROUND ME
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN AROUND ME
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN AROUND ME
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN AROUND ME
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN AROUND ME
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
EVERYTHING BURNS DOWN
Thou and Emma Ruth Rundle are not playing opposites, nor even allies on this record. They are constantly swapping roles and spotlights. At times, Rundle leads while Thou backs. At others, Thou is center stage. It's a magnificent, ego-less union. felixwav
This album gurns and churns with the dense, atmospheric power of an angel wrestling the forces of hell.
Wolfe's voice is an ethereal swirl, but it can cut like a blade. Her guitar, meanwhile, is a reaper's scythe, and with it, she flails like a Balrog summoned deep and raging from the bowels of Middle Earth.
It's an album of dreams and nightmares, a sludge-gaze torrent of painful questions hurled into the void.
A brave, bold and empowering listen. Michael Mueller
