lyrics
Long have I measured my love for others
by a violent plan of action in their defense.
They’ve bent back his fingers.
They’re teasing her sad face in public.
The nice ones tell her she reads too much.
The nice ones smile and talk over.
I dream knockdowns. The breaking of eyes
on the subway. I dream knockdowns.
A quiet femoral stab.
What more valuable gift, I’ve learned, than safety.
What more valuable gift, I’ve learned, than don’t worry.
What more valuable gift, I’ve learned, than safety.
What more valuable gift, I’ve learned, than anger
put to a loving use.
I have confessed this to James Baldwin only.
A talking of rage and slow suffocation,
a talking of France, drinks and good sentences.
Articulate menace and being yourself.
The weapon of what you decide you are worth.
The importance of work and his lovely silk scarves
The importance of words and his lovely silk scarves.
Oh, how I love him.
What more valuable gift, I’ve learned, than safety.
What more valuable gift, I’ve learned, than don’t worry.
What more valuable gift, I’ve learned, than books.
What more valuable gift, I’ve learned, than anger
put to a loving use.

moments of astounding beauty & surprisingly moving instrumental gems, somehow still mined from these seemingly finite and familiar forms. "gigolo" is the best bootlegged "vu"/"another view" outtake that the feelies never wrote.
addendum: for anyone hesitant to buy due to comments posted here in the past about fulfillment - i have zero complaints with this order. the wax shipped within 5 days and arrived in perfect shape 9 days after ordering. thx sb. cactus libre

Opener absolutely rips. Falls into the ranks of tracks like “Dance” by ESG, “Eisbaer” by Grauzone, “Damaged Goods” by Gang of Four or like the album description says Kleenex. This is some really good stuff. Favorite song is the opener but dedicate “Blue” to my friend Blue who lost her life at 22, she would have loved this album. TheBloodofChrist

I love these women. the voices mesh together perfectly; also the world music is exceptional. I have all of their albums and they're all excellent. Give them a listen. Steve Lake
