Laid out nude before you
Yet I feel so safe from those bringers of bad dreams
I don't want to know if it's right or if it's wrong
It can't be wrong
When one dies another takes its place
Your poison apple swings on the vine, ripe for the taking
I just know I'll grow to crave the cold your protection provides
Don't leave me out in the cold
Pull the wool over my eyes
The hunger I couldn't satisfy
So, let's bypass the feeding frenzy
Bypass and pillage and plunder
And ravage the savages' straw huts
While we clean off their guts from our daggers
And just steal straight from the source
On every corner, you're at my disposal
Try and escape from those who lead you like a lamb to the slaughter
You don't want to know if it's right or if it's wrong
It can't be wrong
Symmetrical and sleek
Your trickle-down system has shown us
What we need to do to stay alive
I'll just clench my teeth
And covet until it swallows me whole
Suffocate those ghosts until they're sound asleep
Suffering in silence can be so sexy
there's a review on progarchives about this album. dude was put off that he was tripped up during listens as much as he was. he gave it 3/5. how dare you. fk that site. this is brilliant heavy-asf
I've been listenining this non stop since I discovered it. incredible musichanship and taste for harmonies. the tracks flow incredibly well but surprise you at every change. Love the rhythm fuckery that's going on, so inspiring. Gata Vrangr
Brazilian experimentalist Darlene returns with a new LP that is deceptively complex, its gentle tones masking intricate arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 16, 2023
Mary Halvorson is a genius composer and guitarist who has developed her own musical language, and with Code Girl she has incorporated poetry into that language. Incredible compositions and lyricism (each track is a different kind of poem). Halvorson's playing is as great as usual, and all the other members of the band sound great. Robert Wyatt's singing in particular works extremely well in the tracks he's featured. Highly, highly recommend. rat
