Like a needle to a thimble
I've been looking through a pin hole
at a reverie I strive to revive.
Like a flower thats been plastered
to a wall forever, after
insects have devoured its inside
Quiet and porous.
As I mentally store this.
Swimming though a sea
of debris, I keep inside of me
hoping to someday break free
from the chains at these feet
that do nothing but keep
me abiding defeat
while I long for retreat.
Like a mind that's been suppressed
without a chance to coalesce
that's been gradually corroding in time.
Like a battery only tested
amongst the weak and then rejected
with energy still lingering inside
Quiet and porous.
As I mentally store this.
I've been swimming though a sea
of debris, I keep inside of me
hoping to someday break free
from the chains at my feet
that do nothing but keep
me abiding defeat
while I long for retreat.

Shoegaze, post-rock, black metal, dark ambient: if it's gloomy and surreal, you'll find it on the Arizona outfit's excellent second LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 14, 2022
Riding the line between indie pop and psychedelic folk, the songs on the latest from The Madeleines are as gorgeous as they are mysterious. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 22, 2022
