Strange Brew #322 Old Note

UK vs UK: A Friendly Exhibition

Anthony Kasper - Life Ain't Perfect (Preview)

𝔾𝕀𝕍𝕀ℕ𝔾 𝕄𝕐 𝕃𝕀𝔽𝔼 𝔸𝕎𝔸𝕐

Eliza and her band continue to joyfully trespass across the carefully tended genre boundaries of indie, gothic folk, and progressive art rock, whilst Eliza’s stunning vocals tell stories written in blood and shadows. 
With this new single Eliza and the band establish a more vivid and untamed direction for the music – revealing more starkly the darkly poetic lyricism of Eliza’s mesmerising vocal performance.  All set against the lush percussive rhythms of drummer Tim Skinner, and the rich textures of cellist Eva Wright and guitarist Jacob Browne.
As Eliza explains, “this is the sort of song you don’t just sing…you howl!”.
From the opening plucked arpeggios on the guitar and shimmering gong, Look At Me immediately demands our attention.  As the song unfolds into a deceptively jaunty rhythm masquerading as a circus-style waltz, Eliza draws the listener in with a sing-song invitation that feels strangely unsettling before breaking into a wildly emphatic chorus declaring that you can “drink your blood, and then repent”.  The song builds to a ferocious climax in which Eliza’s defiance is captured in the repeated phrase “don’t follow me.”  Fear has been banished, and the darkness has been made a friend.
