SH appears at the beginning. coniferous pastoral folds out as wide as the sky, and snaps back like an accordion for a walk of shame. slight rejig, and the angel of bethesda enters with a finger-picked guitar. bells ring out.
lyrics
FOUNTAINS
all of this blue morning
I’ve been waiting for you, baited for you now
when you come around I won’t make a sound
I’m gonna teach you something
with no dinner and no working telephone
slim birch and split pine and me standing all alone
cold new night
and no one
cold new night
and no one besides you
when i wake up
with unfamiliar sheet around my nose - ‘oh hello’
pink thighs and two white sighs
heading home
and you told me all the time
about what was on your mind
but I didn’t want to let you go
cold new night
and someone
cold new night
and someone beside me
fountains will spring where your sweet toe touches
didn’t I follow you?
All sorts of punk musics collide in this one. There are still melodies and hooks, but they are someimes dissonant wthin the same track. However, that dissonance ismastered enough that the whole is something you should listen to. Thibaut Devigne
From despair and grief to optimism, the subdued electronic compositions on the latest from Opus form a moving narrative. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 3, 2023
