it's happenstance that fragile glances are destroyed by failed romances / get down low and start to blow to glaze over the lonely sorrow / or receive some peonies to oppress what she's meant to be / have some fun but marry young / she's bound to take the plunge
a thresher table that is set is decorated by the best / the best is one who's young and fair and powders nose and combs her hair / and cooks the meat wet and hot / all the while she's dying rotting / count to three and all she sees / a life gone by no rest no peace
death stands up and starts to taunt and soon she sees that what she wants / is rest and peace and not a sound / lifes a theatre in the round / from all sides spectators sit and watch her walk and judge her hips / and they're not a quiet bunch / they catalyze the plunge
Everything on this EP reminds me of Meat Market's debut album. The same chaotic joy, the slightly off kilter "whoo ooo" backing vocals, the angular guitar work, everything is wonderful and I am so glad MM released some new tunes for the first time in a while! Marc
Across their second full-length, the London post-punks offer up thrumming motoriks, industrial tones, and sullen sing-a-longs in abundance. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 17, 2024
