You know I can't explain why I endure you
You know I can't explain why I want you
Your fear is coming down again
It's your skin
I can touch it, I can feel you,
You vanish
You sink into the frozen lake again
Your fear, your fear is coming down again
It was always there, I have no surprise
I can see your fear, Your fear
Black and midnight like a cape of fog
I can see your fear
Your fear, your fear
Peer up towards the owl-dotted branches
Open, open, open passage
Smoke cascading, downturned lashes
Electricity is fading, softer
Softer, softer vibrations

Banishing Ritual

Breed not, Scoffers at the Strange!
Your children will fail and the Earth groans in pain
Little ragged whelps that wail with formless lust
And nothing ever, ever changes
Nothing will ever change
Dress yourself in the finest raiment
For one day you will be buried in it
Flesh turns to Earth
And Earth is a sewer
And shit feeds the starving
While shit lives in kingdoms
And all the kingdoms in the world
Will crumble and fall
And I wish that I could be there
To piss on your ruins
And mock at your failures
And bury your children
With a hyena's laugh and a crocodile's tears
And erase this blot, this stain called Awake
With a Tattered Robe and a Broken Wand
I make my banishing in symmetrical withdrawal
If only I could banish this Nameless lot
Of idiots and minds that have atrophied forever

Secular Works, Vol. 2
by Extra Life

Brilliant union of early music and rock. Strong Cardiacs vibes. I find a lot of chamber rock to be meandering and aimlessly angular. However this stuff is different, the compositions are extremely tight and diverse. The instrumentation is sparse and rickety, but has these brilliant flashes of grandiose orchestration, it's very balanced. I don't think I've heard a more successful integration of early music into modern forms before. Absolutely a modern masterpiece of progressive "weird" music.

Hard to compete with They Are The Shield for me, but this stands up to it. Barriers Hymn might be the strongest emotional reaction I’ve had to a Driver piece since The Second Operation - so excellent.

Innocent Passage in the Territorial Sea
by Olivia Block
The Chicago composer turns her own grappling with Covid isolation into a kind of imaginary sci-fi soundtrack.
