The lights are on, but the room is empty,
and if it wasn’t for the scent of memory,
you’d turn them off, and hold your breath
for the next step towards an idea,
spiteful to yesterday
The principles are tired, an aging slave to your own view,
separate yourself from your own detriment
and find yourself in bloom
Hushed tones when you say what you really mean,
useless intentions to keep yourself clean,
veering between safety and the prize,
you’ll have neither until you realise
The principles are tired, an aging slave to your own view,
sacrificing worth to have some upper hand
if it all falls through
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
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
