Told in the strictest of terms
to pay attention
stop trailing breadcrumbs
hands off the table
don't bother your father
we come to this union
heads high and scarred
heads high
since your mother broke water
and gave birth to your brother
who was darker than the others
not fair like your mother
oh the man sang, sang the house down
the walls rotten and sweet
soft and sweet
he is a great and terrible thing when he sings
now over the hillside
all the dark children
and some of their mothers
in mansions of cardboard
building a future
from ash and lye
ash, oil, and lye
oh what great and terrible things you will find
red the horizon, yellow the sun
orange the color of shifting sight lines
at the heartbreak of dawn
orange was change
we are great and terrible things when we change
“Dirt” is the imaginative group’s most streamlined effort to date, although no less captivating and sonically adventurous than the rest of their catalog. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 30, 2018
Every sound here is made using Megan Mitchell's voice, even though the music often sounds more like Earth’s vibrations than a human singing. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 28, 2023
