ONCE IN A WHILE
OH THE COLD IT IS SO HARD TO BEAT
IN EVERY SMILE
THERE'S A HOLE, AND IT'S SO ORNERY
WE'LL PLAY AT TRUST
BUT IT'S ROUGH, AND THERE'S NO GUARANTEE
WILL THERE BE AN "US"
OR WILL IT BE A "YOU" AND A "ME"
FEEL THE RUSH OF RUPTURE
FEEL THE RUSH OF RUPTURE
DIZZYING ERUPTION
DIZZYING ERUPTION
FEEL THE RUSH OF RUPTURE
FEEL THE RUSH OF RUPTURE
FEELING CLOSER CLOSER
I LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU
AND WHEN IT ENDS
WE WILL REACH A CHAOTIC APPEAL
DON'T HAVE TO PRETEND
THAT WE KNOW HOW TO BE, HOW TO FEEL
WITH EVERY TRY
THERE'S A SHAME, THERE'S A TRUST, THERE'S A LOVE
NOW YOU ARE SANS LIFE
AND I'D GIVE ANYTHING TO BE US
FEEL THE RUSH OF RUPTURE
FEEL THE RUSH OF RUPTURE
BLEED INTO ANOTHER
BLEED INTO ANOTHER
FEEL THE RUSH OF RUPTURE
FEEL THE RUSH OF RUPTURE
REELING CLOSER CLOSER
YOUR ABSOLUTE SURRENDER
Idk if this is oddly particular but I would describe listening to this album like sitting at the edge of a stream and trying to cup the water that flows by: it doesn't matter how tightly you clasp on: it doesn't matter how slowly it leaks out: eventually, it will slip from your hands. It will return to where it came from, and you just have to let it happen.
It walks an EXTREMELY fine line between a very shaky sort of ethereality and a steadfast sense of vigor and life. Truly sublime stuff. qalsy
Burbling beneath the hazy beauty of the debut solo record from Lush co-founder Emma Anderson is razor-sharp wit and a heart full of rage. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2023
