Heartbeat - raw meat
Empty bottles on the floor
Heartbeat - no sea
Is as dark as love
This town lies empty under wings
Of despair and drunken midnight sings
Mama said son be aware when darkness calls you
Cause it always calls you before it kills
Mama said son of autumn when darkness calls you
When it calls you give up the ghost
Heartbeat - black seed
Have a drink on those left before
Heartbeat - electricity
Feel empty bored and sore
This town lies empty under wings
Of despair and drunken midnight sings
Every star
has billions and billions of stars upon it
And every sun
Has billions and billions and billions of suns that burn it
Mama said son be aware when darkness calls you
Cause it always calls you before it kills
Mama said son of autumn when darkness calls you
When it calls you give up the ghost

One of the best black metal bands of the last 8 years, which means they're beyond the boring tropes of the label. Intelligent and innovative with music geared towards the emotive ends of the work, not an adornment of scene badges or theatrical misanthropy. stevstemac
Dark and seething post-punk from Cincinnati that's appealingly janky enough to make a tired genre feel fresh and urgent. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2023
This Glasgow band is less straightforward or formulaic than many others currently treading the '80s post-punk path. These songs are winged. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 22, 2017
Layering guitars and saxes over synths and drum machines, this Oakland duo's darkwave is as melodically potent as it is texturally rich. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 1, 2024
