Yeah you could run for miles
Before your heart of gold
Would even start to notice
You’ll never grow old
Yeah you’re so full of courage
Embrace of the unknown
‘Cause I know you had to learn it
Mostly on your own
I’m so lucky you showed me the way
Not completely, but partially
It’s a long, and turbulent road
I’m so glad I’ve got you, I’m not alone
The greatest force of nature
Couldn’t come between
‘Cause I know you wouldn’t let
Ever intervene
Without a thought or question
You’d give everything
For the ones you love
In place of surviving
Imagine finding a compass in the woods
In a forest unexplored
Then destroying it with both of your hands
You never would
I hope you know
I’ve never wanted to kill myself
They’re guiding words to love
And nothing else
Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
Screamo, post-rock, and a little black metal meld together for Virginia quartet Infant Island's signature immersive and melancholy sound. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 28, 2020
This one also took me a while to get into. It strikes me as less HC than Untitled and less poppy than Ultrapop (stupid I know). Let's call this the No Wave record. Its musical (and amusical) density is matching the persistent sound in my head right now. barnaby nygren
