And then there was you
Did I dream
when you were here?
I don't know.
I was too focused on the daylight hours
I never wanted to sleep...
...in those days, now here I am again
never wanting to dream
And when I lost you,
did I dream
that you were here?
I don't recall
Not until I will find you,
Not until you're back,
Not until we are in the good place again
I can't shake the feeling of death in your eyes,
the death of love and laughter between you and I
Like the day before, like the life that we once lived
and I just loved you more.

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
