Carry them all like a burden
--- these notes and lines
Walk everywhere with them, in all weathers,
And see them sneer at you, bugger you
In sleep, and, like Goya’s dog, look out
From their troubled buoy upon a sea of yellow
And ochre, awaiting their awful pummeling
And thrash.
So (and so), when they outdistance you, already
Standing in the road, idle playthings,
They come as saviors and fuck you up,
Breath caught at the throat, in isolation,
In solace. Here’s the burden. Now go.
I must be good
I must be nice
I must be good
I have to
« Or, don't do that » - they said
Come towards Pandemonium
Turn up Pandemonium
Turn up!
I must be rude
My heart is vice
I must be cruel
I have to
« Oh! you can do that » - they said
« Yeah! just like that! »
They killed that one, thus I did
Shot the fauna
Bodies just get bogged down
War, sacrifices
Welcome to Pandemonium
What a trauma to see trees trunks burning down
What a trauma to see trees falling down

An instant classic. It feels like Lael's right there in the room with you thanks to the sparse 4-track production that puts her voice--and that glorious Omnichord--front and center. "Every Star Shivers in the Dark" is an all-timer, but every song shimmers with melancholic beauty. My favorite release of 2021, easily Richard Sanghera
