"Pamphleteer has always been perhaps my favourite on here - though, it's one of the ones where I don't think I've quite worked out every lyric, or put a self-meaning to it. Only in that semi-chorus, mind - 'I am your Pamphleteer' - any guesses?"



It's pretty straightforward - the speaker is a pamphleteer, a guy who probably spends most of his time writing out Spartacist pamphlets that no one reads. The song is about a past love of his, so "I am your Pamphleteer" is just him saying he's hers.

Haha I deserve no credit. I’ve just been hopping from one recommendation to another. In this case, a Death Cab thread praised these guys so here I am.

So fucking good. Should I backtrack to Fallow, or plow forward on to Reconstruction Site?

If you like the rockier songs on this record definitely check Fallow. But jumping straight to Reconstruction Site is a good move too as it's a top 3 album of all-time. There isn't much in existence that's better than that album.

Damn, I might have to 5 this. Got derailed with some other things, but jumping back in on this, it’s even better than before. Really looking forward to RS.

Man, Pamphleteer is such a great damn song. Probably my current fav, but t/t, Everything Must Go and This is a Fire Door are up there too.

WHERE A SMALL KNIFE TEARS AT THOSE SLOPPY SEAMS

AND YOUR SILENCE KNOWS WHAT YOUR SILENCE MEANS

AND YOUR METAPHORS, AS MIXED AS YOU CAN MAKE THEM

Yeah, Pamphleteer is gorgeous. There is a Fire Door is a stone-cold classic too. Exiles Among You is also one of the most powerful indie-rock songs ever conceived.
