Well, i kind of can relate with some of the issues pointed by Jerkface.... ah, Hi guys, long absence.
I was right now listening to Marid's Gift of Art, and wondering about the remote possibility of Bath and Leaving, after all these years being the albums with which i can identify the most, being with schizophrenic moments, melodies of quaint and rare beauty and innocence, and poetical lyrics. And I felt like coming to this very forum, to thank all the people that made these two albums possible, and somehow making me believe there are some people like me… (since I play on some bands, someday, If I have the opportunity and the luck, perhaps I’ll record something on a near future, god knows I’m broke
)
With Kayo some factors are still present, lyrical content… but I don’t know, some songs exaggerate too much on some parts, they aren’t really schizo, the weirdness of the music seems somewhat “produced”, to my ears it doesn’t feel natural. And it seems that when a song kind of starts making sense, somewhere along the way, it loses it’s point. I’m a pretty experienced listener, not only metal… I just don’t understand why for all this time, I haven’t listened to Kayo Dot, and the mp3 for all this time have laid here collecting digital dust. I know the album is good, but something is missing for sure, cohesiveness perhaps.
Thanks a lot for your music guys, it’s beautiful and intelligent, and it has touched me very deeply. Keep on with your musical weaving, whatever it may be.
