Ladyhawke – Dusk Til Dawn

Dodadoodoo Dodadoodoo

Bang bang bang on the wall, from dusk til dawn

I’m not sure if I even like this song I just cannot get it out of my fucking head.

Shearwater – Leviathan, Bound

Shearwater’s album Rooks is one of those albums that come along every once in a while and completely blow you away. It is a haunting, lonely piece that is at once very beautiful and strangely terrifying, bringing to mind as it does burnt out landscapes and apocalypse skies.

The album cover is amazing:

Shearwater

This track, Leviathan, Bound, starts with a simple chiming of what could be a glockenspiel, a sad piano line joins it, a voice cries a haunting call (perhaps a hunter’s signal), then the voice sings:

the hollow light
is still on the fields
where the winter has warmed
and the snows have drained waway
and the hunter’s cry
is still on the air
as the bullet flies home
but the heart that’s pierced with it
still is racing
still is racing, alone.

the silver shoals
of the light in the deep
brush the glitterin skein
where the great, dark body writhes
and the trembling jaw
the unfathoming sounds
of leviathan, bound
as his heart, though weakening
still is racing
still is racing, alone

you are racing
you are racing,
alone.

A wonderful piece of music.

Times New Viking – Faces On Fire

TREBLE! OMG TREBLE! Whoever was mastering this CD must have accidentally bumped the treble up to max. Anyway, this track is short, sharp and fucking brutal. The kind of music that is pointless to write about, it can only be listened to.
