lyrics

Marked man
Bleeding
Meritorious
I fall at the feet of the words you’re speaking

Craven
Breathing
This elision holds far more weight than the words before it

Water wants to run
But you drown in the depths and the fear took your tongue
Still life finds a way

My love you cannot speak of it
But there’s a language for this
You split the sun to exist

All alone in the dark place
Every move you make with grace
But they’re tearing at your mind
And they’re pulling you inside
To the things you cannot face

Into the sun
Where the dreaming, feared-separate souls become one
So burn

My love you cannot speak of it
But there’s a language for this
You split the sun to exist
Pandora has you by the neck
But you made a language for this
Your crucifixion and gift

Every sound is a sacrifice
Open flower-like to the light
New dawning
Watch the old ways break

My love you cannot speak of it
But there’s a language for this
You split the sun to exist
Pandora has you by the neck
But you made a language for this
And I’m learning to speak it

'Blue Heart Rate' was the first Lionface song I ever heard.I was doing the washing up on a Saturday evening and was stopped in my tracks via BBC Bristol Introducing program.It builds and builds gloriously. Kat Marsh's full vocal range is on display here.I am normally not a Dance music fan but their is a unique Rock edge to it that satisfies the Rocker in me.I have seen the band live since and hope their is more to come from this great 3/4 piece outfit. bluffcity

LAMINATE PET ANIMAL
by SNOWMINE

This is the first in a series of weekly album reviews published by Andrew Dubber. If you haven’t already caught it, please check out his introductory post. There’s been talk of an 80s revival of one sort or another since long before the 80s even came to an end. Some long for the angular rhythms … Continue reading Album of the Week: Laminate Pet Animal → Bandcamp Album of the Day Oct 28, 2011
