Mad Sounds - Tim Hecker

Broken and fraying at the edges, like a brittle decaying memory amidst eddies of distortion.

"A wisp of you 
Haunts the base of my spine. 

If you were to 
Go I'd surely follow. 

I crawl ashore 
Awash with brine. 

I'll cast myself 
Off again tomorrow. 

Astride crushing depths 
And gnashing teeth. 

A razor's edge 
Between the devil 
And the deep blue sea."

Alex Varr - guitar, voice.
