    It's dark, sexy, it reminds me of Deep Honey. I'm thinking tika/lolli will adore.

    It's definitely a War song, the marching through what sounds like rain. The rain could just be my copy adding to the ambiance :p

    I think they left it off the live list because of the complexities reproducing Alison's vocal scapes and the fact that it is less orchestra dependant and requires a lot of synth/tech compared to the rest. Although they managed with Clay which also has synth in it. I dunno. I was as surprised it wasn't on the setlist as anybody else. It would have been a superb song to do live, to do the entire album as it is one big narrative.

    OH my.. just heard thea.. indeed, i see why it was left out of the set, for the exact reasons you describe.. but that bass drop, last third... and alison's voice.. glides and soars like a banshee...

    whole thing reminds me of Tim Hecker...

    Bring on the horses.

    I wish Mute would release iTunes previews so people could get a small taste you know?

    How about this paired with that to begin with.

    They should have released digital previews THE DAY of the first show. To promote more ticket sales for the fall to ride the wave of youtube videos and fan photos that came. It's PR 1:1

    This song is such a surprise to me. It's AMAZING.
    I had a king in a tenement castle, lately he's taken to painting the pastel walls brown. He's taken the curtains down. He's swept with the broom of contempt, and the rooms have an empty ring. He's cleaned with the tears of an actor who fears for the laughter's sting...
