A Little Slander, A Little Lace

by Avi C. Engel

/
1.
a little slander, a little lace I brought you violets and disgrace whatever the weather I won't be late I'll drink the bitter I'll down my fate a tortured figure a battered word skull full of honey eye full of birds I've been unruly I've been wrong bear me away in an asylum of fog I don't want to see clearly anymore
2.
what's the damage? what do I owe? how many golden geese? how many thornless roses? how many miles along a river with no shore? in my heart a blizzard my fingers burn the wishing tree I planted has poisoned all the birds I'd like to leave this place beholden to no one name the balm name the cure what's the damage? what do I owe? how many golden geese? how many thornless roses? how many miles along a river with no shore? your visions don't impress me bandage the bloody word rotten spoils around our feet some children never learn I'd like to leave this place beholden to no one name the balm name the cure what's the damage? what do I owe? how many golden geese? how many thornless roses? how many miles along a river with no shore?

about

Recorded on a wintery morning at Paul Swoger-Ruston's house.

"Slinking vocals wind around an etherized, post-punk pulse as the music snakes through the darker recesses of your mind, the hidden chambers of your heart, asking you to turn off the lights, to burn a few candles, to pour another glass, to light another something, anything, to dance slowly, alone with the flickering shadows on the walls. It’s a haunting single, and a mighty fine introduction to Clara Engel’s bluesy, experimental laments."
- Los Grillos Collective
