lyrics

PEREGRINE. The sun on my neck, burning the thoughts out of me. It’s the only way, there’s no other way left. With nothing to say, the boredom is louder. My hair is on fire but I long to be touched. Soaked in your kindness and in our voices. My ear to the ground and to the preachers. Did I only just start believing? Did I only just start believing? While we were dying. While we were dying. There’s a bell or an alarm. In the distance or inside me. It’s a warning or a sign I think but I can only listen. Did I only just start believing? Did I only just start believing? While we were dying. While we were dying. How can I not paint with pain? There’s a tension I could eat. Solid, tough and filling, it is mine to eat. Did I only just start believing? Did I only just start believing? While we were dying. While we were dying. I always loved the space between us, it’s shape and taste. How I would love and how you’d let me. She said; I suggest you pick one. Let it teach you what it wants and you will know what you didn’t. The word is new, the one I’m tasting. I let it roll around inside my mouth. I spit it out. Move me, make me move, with force or with love. I have to be ready, I have to be ready. A river down my spine, my armpits, my crutch and lower back. The movements, I know them well. The routine, the routine. Something has to rip to break and be broken. Something has to rip to break and be broken. The sun on my neck, burning the thoughts out of me. It’s the only way, there’s no other way left.

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
