about

'The shut-in charm and insanity of the one man band exposed to such extensive self assessment rarely feels as raw and revealing as it does on these crumpled, whispered ceremonies. Themes of loneliness, romance and, yup, loss, all float in the shadows of ritualistic moon-musik as Wormy glacially secures their route through vulnerability with a kind of palpable, all-but-suffocated sense of hope and vitality that manifests itself as something akin to the more emotionally challenging sugar rushes of our lives.

Although sensibly spliced into different tracks for digital distribution, the janitors of HELL would struggle to polish and bring order to the sprawling, psychedelic damage on this cassette version. Eighteen songs, which begin to resemble a collection of poems and short, poignant motifs, blend and bleed into one another and conclude with a healthy dose of VENOM. A shift from broken to barbed, a savage bloom of contradictorily tempered, minimalist piano serves as a tranquil landscape for a seething, verbal crucifixion of an old Tory shitebag, a recital which displays the kinda eccentric, satanic violence you might catch in the depths of an Ambrose Bierce short yin..' - LOW COMPANY

We will not be erased

This ancient citadel is ours to haunt; the chrome palace built over our beds.

We imprint the paints that cover their crimes.

Flip the glare of their satellite mirrors.

Our choir is a whistle through the corridors of corporate Britannia.

But for now, it is their party.

They dance beneath a black sun.

Look here...the debaser has arrived.

The shaper of flesh, his gropes familiar now.

Mothers burden.

The devil at breakfast.

He thinks himself king because children scatter when he enters rooms, they split their knees tripping on pockmarked lawns.

See too, his soft hands have dredged this landscape; a ceremonial blood letting, adorned with frills, all the pomp streamed.

These perversions are palpable.

His collars and cuffs secrete masters blend- sulphuric coffee.

Ribbons of skin are kept in his pockets.

Magical dust beneath his nails.

We may have become folklore, but the wrangler is real. More real than he could have ever wet dreamed.

The unseen allow him this necromantic slumber.

There will be no charity when the hour comes.

This is why we wait.
