Body Riddle

You have broken through the veil of faded glass 
It’s gone away now 
The pain now has subsided at last 
Feel your senses tingle at the slightest touch 
A gentle faded whisper of I love you very much 

Kaleidoscopic images rush by 
Showered in colour, reminiscing life 
Never felt quite like this 
Never felt so alive 
How can you imagine this? 
How can you feel so much bliss in the blink of an eye? 

Come with us 
You are safe now 
You’re away now 
The Crossing has begun

The latest single ‘Vordhosbn’ (an Aphex Twin rework), premiered on Mary Anne Hobbs' 6Music show 20/11/19. Here the band were never aiming to match the beautiful intricacy of Aphex’s production, but rather to replicate that energy with human imperfection. Staying true to the ethos of 2019’s Improvisations EP, the track was recorded live in one take, no overdubs and no samples. Just guitar, bass and acoustic drums triggering an analogue synth.
