lyrics
She was a lady, the seventh of ten
The sea was her most beloved friend
Taken by tides and the strange life they bring
But never taught how to think
She took to the water beneath the moonlight
The dusk hummed a tune as she held her skirt tight
She buried that whale like we buried our speech
But ours sank too deep to reach
No daughter of mine will leave home
It is not within her to go it alone
No daughter of mine will leave home
We are crippled by freedom we cannot afford
We had our minds dropped right out of that boat
I'm burrowed in eelgrass, I'm tangled in weed
Maude cast her net but it didn't find me, or any of us
unironic beauty and sincerity is something i am deeply uncomfortable with. i switched to parliament 100s after hearing this record. proceed with caution. 7.7/10 P4ked
Drifting dreampop and snarling grunge, with potent vocals wrapped in gauzy textures one minute, surrounded by jagged riffs the next. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 21, 2023
A hushed and low-lit EP from this Melbourne musician, where dreamlike melodies drift across a bed of tender guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
