don’t look yourself in the eye
you might not like what lives inside
darkness lurks where demons hide
don’t sketch your portrait of the saint
you can’t earn your halo without pain
you’ve been dancing with the sharks
who seek forgiveness in the dark
bodies of ruin lie in your wake
face like an angel, heart of the snake
Hades and torture may be your fate
don’t leave your light on for the dead
when glory and power have fucked up your head
On this harmonically rich LP, the Scottish singer-songwriter contrasts gorgeous soprano harmonies with strident folk-rock instrumentation. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 26, 2023
