i pulled the ribbon from her hair
strand by strand cascaded down down
i watched her face with utmost care
strand by strand i unfolded into
the mirror to the mirror to the mirror
to the water water
its clearer its clearer its clearer
where its harder
to hide (the mirror)
pulled up all the sunburnt sheets
i pinned them into folded shapes
their winded faces turned towards me
i took them to my cheek, secretly
the mirror the mirror the mirror
the water
is clearer is clearer is clearer
where its harder
to hide
the mirror
A fascinating document of a band finding its groove. It's got a drier sound and is rougher around the edges than "FOD", and some of these tracks feel more like experimental studies in rhythm/texture than proper songs. "Sunbeat" is especially weird, and I love them for it. Steven Moses
