jimiwiz it's like listening to mazzy star and velvet underground, but with the tension knowing she could melt your face at any moment. Favorite track: Shame.

PaintedDogs WOW, I had no idea the Screaming Females frontwoman had such a fantastic voice. 'Trembling' is a really difficult vocal style to pull off, and she does it with aplomb. Really evocative lyricism, too. Favorite track: White Dove.

jessehd This could easily be the soundtrack to some dreamed morning--- the condensation pulsing on the window and perfect inside the headphones. Marissa Paternoster delivers another brilliant collection of songs about looking up and thinking, "...fuck". Favorite track: Shame.

White Dove 04:20
A fever shakes the air A white dove And she is made of glass A white dove Your feathers soaked in blood I wove a wire rug A white dove Slept on it in the snow A white dove Your feathers soaked in blood Your feathers soaked in blood Sing a song for me A white dove Through the window screen A white dove Your feathers soaked in blood Your feathers soaked in blood
2.
Black Hole 02:41
I'm awash in a big black hole without you Grease the gears of the entire world without you Pain and tears for the entrance fee You don't know how much you mean to me I'm awash in a big black hole without you I'm in a space Come in and let me out The absence of the entire world without you Piercing holes through the big black hole without you A thousand voices join and talk about you See me now I'm a bright blue stream You're red water rushing into me I'm awash in a big black hole without you I need evidence I can live without you Catch a hiss with the horizon without you Try my dress and then embalm me I'm a statue in this fantasy I'm awash in a big black hole without you

I Lost You 03:20
I hang and it's painful Disconnect the line She thinks I'm uncertain But I think it's fine I guess it's sad But it's true You don't care I've lost you A dial tone so distant Everything has to end As much as I want to We just can't be friends I guess it's sad But it's true You don't care I've lost you Take what I can handle No space in my head I have to be careful Pretend that you're dead I guess it's sad But it's true You don't care I've lost you
4.
Sore 03:07
I slept right through the fire I'm growing like a seed My hideous desires Their silhouettes in dreams I don't wanna be here anymore I will run toward you till I'm sore I'm drastically unfit To suit you for revenge I'll always want you back The impulse never ends I don't wanna be here anymore I will run toward you till I'm sore A bridge over the night A blanket over me It feels cold like a knife For a moment I'm free I don't wanna be here anymore I will run toward you till I'm sore
5.
Balance Beam 03:20
Am I the last one here I saw the reigning storm eschewed in gloom The lighthouse is now clear Wait for the water's rush to move my center You can lead me I'm patient I thought I might jump too Into the rusty creek leaping blindly I fall right into you Preparing all my weight so you'll remember You can lead me I'm patient And then I knew true love It was fierce it's harsh winds knocked me sideways I balanced on a beam So I could see your beautiful face You can lead me I'm patient
6.
Shame 04:21
I broke your silver tray So you won't go so far away I played a sour note Now there's no hope There will be no show If you want me to go Won't you please tell me so It's a shame but I can't deal And if you want me to stay Please don't turn me away While I'm moving through this hell You're on the interstate It's my spit I hope you taste And as your memory Sets on me I fade away If you want me to go Won't you please tell me so It's a shame but I can't deal And if you want me to stay Please don't turn me away While I'm moving through this hell It wasn't very long But in your eyes I heard a song A symphony in grace Upon your face I was at home If you want me to go Won't you please tell me so It's a shame but I can't deal And if you want me to stay Please don't turn me away While I'm moving through this hell
7.
Waste 03:07
Could you just promise me one small thing before you go? Mimic the look on my face tell me so that I know It was a waste We split a trail in the woods and Got high near the falls I hung right over a rock Thought I should end it all It was a waste Love made me sick I'm so heavy A red brick in the sea Call me if you're ever ready To waste away with me You sliced me rotten and soft A dead fish, wet and cold I never wanted it all Maybe I was too bold It was a waste
8.
Running 03:32
With ill intentions I pinched the wire The concrete lip of the pool Heard your voice in the woods so I Made my way back to you Orange foxes and swooping crows Your eyes could swallow the world Chest a chasm, a weeping wound She sank in me as she turned Let me be the one you come running to With devotion, a frame unlocked My picture rattles in you And when you pierce through the mirror's gaze Know that my love was true Turn to bouquets, hideous mass And please don't ever forget Boundless travel, I'll slog the swamps To stand beside you again Let me be the one you come running to
9.
Promise 03:18
I'm in the car Against my will You take up space Just standing still Promise you love me still Promise I walk toward The ocean air I see your face Just hanging there Promise you love me still Promise
