Through the winter hue
there is a special light
that removes the detail from everything
sometimes it's the only thing you see
sometimes it's the only thing you need to see
A sense of direction
you can finally believe in
When the grain has finally worn out
And oblivion has run thin
No use for what was once lost on yourself
No use for living fixed upon a melting shelf
Just keep your eyes up
Just keep your reach up above
the crashing patterns beneath us
The sound of the end of the world
stretched against a gradient
It rings out shrill like only late beginnings do
So you can't go on pretending
a lack of conscience
a lack of consciousness
is the only way to feel
You are part of this
And that which brings us here
You are part of this
And that what brought us near
Sometimes, it's only the things you see
sometimes, it's only the things you need to see
that come too late
I've finally got Black Line on physical copy and this record actually blew my mind. There's so much beauty to this album but also its so crushingly heavy and extreme in an audio sense, Respire don't hold back they just let everything go and beyond, amazing!! Darknight
Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey
Kansas City trio Flooding draw out the more mystical qualities of slowcore and noise rock for a heavy sound that's less stony than doom. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 26, 2023
Fans of Polvo, take note! The excellent Kansas City band Abandoncy has the same fondness for corkscrewing riffs & melodies. It’s great! Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 28, 2022
