lyrics

Trial and error like God
Find myself and I’m lost
Spiritual fog, blurring, misting my sight
Missing the glow of the light, absorbing the nights
Blood and iron’ll make ‘em move right
Rapidly rapid, ravenous enemy
Ravaging, relishing, genocide, bloodshed
Bloodthirsty savages, hunting all heads
All fed
Plenty fattened for the kill, they live but they’re dead
The pleasures of flesh consume the presence of death
Through the sinew and flesh
All sins I accept
Karma accepted, all things ingested
Immunity weak, no resistance
Resistance infected
Resistance infected

Chorus:
The Candyman plays a song with a sickening warmth
It’s haunting to catch, you’re caught
His hideous face unseen by these eyes
For these eyes can’t see through the diamonds and gold
Through the diamonds and gold

Verse 2:
Fire fury, sword in my hand
One of mice or truly one of man
One of love or conceiving a deceptive plan
Warlords treading an enemy’s land, enemies plan
Friends, enemies just played a joker’s hand
Silent noise, whisper the voice if mention the name
Silhouettes cradle the figurines on display
A sordid lust enticed the sweetest soul
The most comforting warmth
Boasts the horror with which it betrayed
With which it betrayed

The tracks with Moor Mother are where I hoped Tricky would end up. There are similarities but there's an awesome heft in this album that takes the whole thing to somewhere kind of familiar but so different. The second half feels like I just fell off a cliff edge into the swirling void. Well done folks a great album jazzberto

A vast, 25-track beat tape created at home in the first month of the Covid-19 pandemic; swanky cut-ups and dusty R&B atmospherics abound. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 1, 2020
