lyrics

After the storm, your sudden fever flickered out
You found a way out of the blankets and the house

Onto the patio, oh in just a towel
With eyes adjusting to the glow, you see it now

At home, the gift you sent beside an open card
With ink you smeared, it said to find you at the mark

Streaming and stumbling the flames will form an arc
A cluster patterning the heart

Of Father Lucian who saw it and rejoiced
A patient practice he enjoyed

I want to sweep the sky until I figure out
A way to watch it all unburdened by the doubt

I want to leave behind the questions I have known

Go with you astering and fall among the stars
Cascading, endless in the night

Honestly, I don't know his music nearly as well as I would like to, but whenever I hear Moses Sumney, it takes me somewhere unexpected. Soft Punch

Calling Out Of Context
by Arthur Russell

St. Arthur. "You Can Make Me Feel Bad" is a song I return to over and over again. Arthur's like my North Star. Soft Punch

EARS

Please Advise

Chad Clark makes music in four dimensions. Please Advise offers a somewhat compact, yet still very outsized, version of his vision by virtue of its EP length. But walking around its dimensions, full of unknown colors and textures, I keep finding corners that lead to other rooms. Lars Gotrich

by A.A. Bondy
