lyrics

ABOVE THE SUN. “It is not mine, so I don’t speak”. “It is not mine, so I don’t say it”. It is what is said to them and to each other. Teach my mind and teach my child, let us soak in the thought of it and dance behind my eyelids. I can be with you when I am with you. I can be with you when I am with you. I am where my body is, and my spirit’s where it wants to be. My hands, my hands and life alive. I can be with you when I am with you. I can be with you when I am with you. You could speak and rise above the sun, there’s people dancing up at the summit, but what is taken will come down, like chain out of pockets, like chain out of pockets. Who will win at playing God? Who will win at playing God? I can be with you when I am with you. I can be with you when I am with you. Who will win at playing God? Who will win at playing God? I can be with you when I am with you. I can be with you when I am with you.

Thus Owls Montreal, Québec

The mesmerizing and dark velvet sounding Thus Owls from Montreal is built around the core of Swedish-Canadian couple Erika and Simon Angell. Simon’s harshly charismatic guitar blends with the urgency of Erika’s vocals to create a sound that bends and stretches their unusual compositions into ever newer and surprising shapes. ... more
