Best of Flat Field Records

Music I Like 7

"Twitch and Gloam compiles 12 severe, stylish songs from Northwest neo-goth artists. If it's beautiful, it's also agonized and groaning. This is all black everything. ... Collectively, it's a moment. Props to Flat Field Records for this collection. It makes the time capsule easier to put together." 
–Andrew Matson, [Seattle] City Arts June 2013 Album of the Month 

https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/twitch-gloam-dark-sounds-from/id662651800

An aesthetically-themed 12-track collection of sound collectives possessing music venues + house shows + art + fashion + film-based social rituals in Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver, B.C. 

Def. Verb + Noun: twitch - to ache sharply from time to time; twinge. + gloam - the time of day immediately following sunset; "he loved the twilight"; "they finished before the fall of night"

The spirit of David Lynch infects this music. With a heavy post-punk underpinning, these dozen dark gems are new tracks from a new crop of bands– alternately strident guitars, walls of noise, cold synths, no wave minimalism, and strangely seductive melodies. As the latest incarnation of the goth sound through a 21st century filter, these groups are less ritual and more actual, less eyeliner and more earsplitting.

Twenty three years rocks thicker than bone this must be a blood-let
From blood un-spilled
Release the gain
Undo the strain
From blood un-spilled
One year flew from a highchair
Eleven years another blunder
Twenty years a blade slipped under
Go now
From blood un-spilled
Release the vein
Undo the strain
From blood un-spilled
Seventeen waking life nightmare
Go now
