All the leaves are falling down
Tumbling, tumbling, tumbling around
A wind is coming to take them home
Drying every leave like flesh and bone
Come on if you wanna dance dance with me
Come on if you wanna cry cry with me
Seven little tears till the leaves are down
Seven dirty years till I wear the crown of thorns
Seven tiny tears till the leaves are down
Trembling in your eyes for I wear the crown of thorns
Here come the prince of the desperate line
Save your little heart pull it close tonight
Sign your name on the boulevard
Of broken dreams
Driving home for nothing
Dark as the sea
Black light in a starless sky
Shines for you and me
Dark as the sun

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
