lyrics
Little by little, you tend to get a little lost
If you want a mother, or a father, glue back their divorce
And there is violence, in the silence, of the dark
Safety nets will cover us, but they will never last
They will never last
De-stroy-her
Destroy the boys who destroyed her
Be the weak, the commander and the chief
To destroy, to destroy her
Lighting up the sky’s, with all these peaceful bombs
An oceans and a lighthouse, keep each other stable and calm
We hardly scratched the surface, just the skin of ourselves
You mean something to someone, but you mean nothing else
De-stroy-her
Destroy the boys who destroyed her
Be the weak, the commander and the chief
To, destroy, to destroy her
To, destroy, to destroy her
To, destroy, to destroy her
To, destroy, to destroy her

This is SS achieving some kind of pinnacle trajectory. Their best sounding record by some margin and easily their most accomplished. The commitment in their delivery is breathtaking; Epic is the word i would use to sum it all up. Everything functions to drive these fantastic songs home. Some of Kyle's finest work, too. Try the one two sucker punch of the album openers if you ever needed convincing. Recorded in 14 hours but an album for a lifetime halfpenny_wayne
In some ways this is a more homogeneous listen than it's predecessor. When it kicks, it kicks like a mule, like opener "Horses". Suicide Swans are remarkably consistent - Kyle's writing still mines below the surface digging out gold from the clay of the every day. Performances are fantastic with the usual sympathetic production. Another superb record! halfpenny_wayne
The Australian folk-pop singer tackles deconstruction, her Christian childhood, and sexuality on her infectious sophomore album. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 14, 2023
On this debut by Maple Glider, a moniker of singer Tori Zietsch, acoustic guitar and piano chords back vignette-like songs. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 25, 2021
The latest LP from Brigid Mae Power is gorgeous and ghostly, setting Power’s voice against soft brushes of guitar, piano, & shuffling drums. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 17, 2018
If you dig The Drive-By Truckers you will go nuts for these dudes. Kyle’s song writing is first class, erudite, deep and thoughtful, lyrics tinged with a darkness and a cynicism derived from living and knowing too much. Great singing and picking all round. Sterling production by Ben Lancaster (get the vinyl if you can). A personal favourite from a stellar catalogue. halfpenny_wayne
