My, oh my.
When was the last time you heard a voice quite like this? Spouting lyrics like these? Over such beautifully confusing sounds like these?
Honestly, the last time I could remember my curiosity was prickled in this way was when I heard Seward, about this time last year. And then I remembered I said the same thing about Sturle Dagsland about three weeks ago.
Maybe it’s the month of May. Maybe I’m wrong.
Maybe The Warp/The Weft are brilliant. Who can say?
Chances are, The Warp/The Weft are, in fact just brilliant – Storm & Wake is a simply – and I use this word inadvisedly – impressive song. Because it is, in every way; a terrifically coiling song that allows plenty of breathing space (a rarity today) and pushes a tremulously delicious voice to the fore.
Mentions of dorsal fins fly by as the oddly brief lyric scuttles past half as fast as you’d expect. The ending becomes an extended coda that you will to roll on and on. I’m not sure why you’re still reading this now. Just listen.

Have to disagree. The production is tremendously weak. No sense of air. It sounds like a mediocre Red Hot Chili Peppers cover band cover band in ’95.
Well, I couldn’t disagree more, but that’s opinions for you :)
