you know, i just had the feeling
that we’re wasting our saturday
you bring the whisky
i’ve got the beers
now come to my place
you just saw your ex-girl
with a new guy
affront your window
at the hill
has she forgotten where i live?
now it’s gonna rain for three days
man, it’s wild
he just jumped on the train
don’t wanna let him down now —
gonna have a good time
just write to say i’m sorry
‘bout the other night
for a while there
it just seemed i couldn’t
look myself into the eyes
you always wondered whether
she was sensitive, stupid
or a sadist?
god, they held each others hands
god, i see her all around
sitting in the grass
sitting in the sun
missing your company
has it been so long
you said,
the only thing we do whole-heartedly
is to get drunk
i said:
“the games you can’t face in daylight
you won’t win
when the lights are out”
do you also feel ashamed
feel the guilt
the fear of wasting
time
time
time
but who’s there to punish you
for your missteps?
i feel sick
tired, weak
don’t know if it’s real
or i’m just imagining it

In My Arms Many Flowers

Blackout as April under the stream of stars. Butterflies at construction sites. Crawl, sister. Mother, I can barely see. Faceless when it rains.
Shatter window panes. For heaven’s sake. Look out where yr going. You’re broke and very brave and I believe in you.
Just a few more days. While we wait for a miracle. Now everything’s supposed to be quiet. And in my arms, many flowers.

Fronted by Nikolaj Bruus’ compositions on acoustic guitar, rich baritone-voice and evocative abstract lyrics, Quiet Sonia plays big, sprawling yet intimate and highly dynamic emotional rock music with longer narrative-like structures, improvisational elements and intricate detailled arrangements. ... more

Shivers down your spine...... AOFY 2023. Stunning blend of Talk Talk / Bark Psychosis influences, some contemporary Asian Glow / Parannoul vibes, a bit of Steve Roach / Jon Hassell. RECOMMENDED.

Le Cri du Caire
by Le Cri du Caire
Another AOTY 2023 contender. A bit of Stephan Micus in this. Most heartbreaking vocals I've heard in a long time. An extremely strong emotional experience. Thank you, Le Cri du Caire.

Best jangle album I've heard in a long long time. They're British, and apparently inspired by trad British folk, but they sound more like the best kiwi bands to me. Strongly recommended.

The video for "Theurgist," from True Widow's forthcoming "Avvolgere," is as prismatic & hypnotic as the song it accompanies.

A Dallas based trio making gritty, dark, stoned, shoegazing tunes that thud and grind with a relentless drive.
