Little porcelain figurines, glass bullets you shoot at the wall.

Threats of castration for crimes you imagine when I miss your call.

With the bite of the teeth of that ring on my finger,

I'm bound to your bedside, your eulogy singer.

I'd happily take all those bullets inside you and put them inside of myself.





Whose lyrics?

"So I lay down against your back until we're both back in the hospital but now it's not a cancer ward we're sleeping in the morgue." -Epilogue



Honestly, the lyrics are so well written and the story as a whole just works very well with the music. The emotion contained in the vocalist's voice really helps convince the listener about his atrophying mental state of what we can only assume is pretty depressed and lonely. This is why I am bumping this up to a 5 and making it my album of the year.

yeah i mean even the drummer kills harder live. also, there's no bassist so the keyboardist does all the bass with pedals of some sort (someone fill me in here)

20 minute clip from their concert recorded by NPR. Full concert is on a podcast for free which is pretty sweet. This sounds really really good live.

where in spain? barcelona, marbella and alicante are pretty much all the best places ever. madrid is cool too but the people are sort of...unaccommodating.

if it weren't for Animal Collective, this would be the album of the year for me. The entire story, the way it's told, and the music is all nearly perfect.
