Comment: does God lie? What happens next if the witch grabs you by the hand? And if you are surrounded by the howl of a pack of wolves or immersed in the darkest blue for some reason? Instead of wolves you could freely be surrounded by Tony Montana, Anton Chigurh, or Max Cady-alike personae. Instead of God you can put the word 'president' or 'leader' to the sentence who know for what is the best for their nations. You can see what is going on in France during a month as the subsequence of such sort of arrogance. And you will have no chance to blame the so-called populists anymore. Furthermore, it indicates the term 'populism' has been used in an exaggerated way. By facing all of that you are either devastated to the bottom in a paralyzing way or will it provide you some power or even inspiration to create something arousing on its own. On this 6-notch release the minor chords played on bold guitar strings and suppressed female singing supported by faint echoes and synthesised electronics are governing the course for all our pleasure. Of course, additionally I do fancy it because Borgesss is the solo project by Paula Borges, the lead vocal of a favourite combo of mine, Hanging Freud. Indeed, there is no chance to partake in deviation of quality and tasteless self-indulgent excesses. By kindred souls one can draw parallels to such artists as Thalia Zedek, Cat Power, For Solacing Grief, Le Bâtiment, Lullabier. The decorous issue is a part of the discography of an imprint called myhand.thanks.
