about

Compacting into a deep, hard hitting and cinematic sound intending to represent the pain felt around the world currently "cold' covers the poor handling of the UK governments action against the pandemic happening here but also relates to the rest of the world.

Thematic reasoning was used throughout the making of this track, from the floaty ukulele to the distorted vocals that represent the buried cries for help by those suffering. "Cold" at its core is a cry for change.

This one was a biiig track that took a lot of tweaking to get right, trying out a lot of new techniques for vocal processing that stemmed from wicker bones.

I ran the demo through the IMF discord for feedback a couple times and now i think it's ready to be put out a little early for SC listeners. This song is easily my most complex, lots of annoying time signature and syncopation stuff. Hopefully you guys dig it!

Also a big shout out to a sad little cloud for recording the violin solo for me at the end, go listen to their stuff, its breathtaking!

lyrics

Move too slow
they won't let go

My fathers, can you hear me
you're getting very cold
holding onto what of the world you were told

Clutching your brittle strings you're a puppet full of lies
avoiding your gaze to hide all the bodies that lie
under your tapestry of promises to hide
the greed that you thrive on is the way you survive

my fathers, can you hear me
you're getting very cold
holding onto what of the world you were told

move too slow
the won't let go
move too slow
they won't let go
