lyrics
Well if there's nothing but a cusp--no tracks from where we've come--then let's stay drunk. I guess I'll wait forever, a somber awkward settler of feuds. To wait out this embarrassment with you. Every comfort just a poison. And I hate that I don't mind that you leave me behind. There are things that I will keep. No one can know but me.
Fine, respect the undertow. it's what they want the most. But don't you feel your acting will forsake you. The gardens will reclaim blood and bone. They smile for the streets that you hold. For no one is forgiven. And I hate that I don't mind that you leave me behind. There are things that I will keep. No one can know but me.
Listening to this album while driving at night is a cinematic experience. I was reminded oddly of "Paris, Texas", a film which combines the mythic open roads of the West, with various states of in-betweeness (of adult and child, of woman and man). James often describes his work as liminal. Liminality speaks at the edge of something, being in the ambiguous place and paving a way for new identities, new places. A rite of passage ready to occur. A wonderful album, although I wish it were longer! amoda666
With their blend of playfulness and graduate-level instrumentation, Dorcha deftly prove that improvisational zeal and conservatory-level precision aren't mutually exclusive. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 16, 2020
