about

Single mix of "Shadow in the Dark", from our forthcoming LP.

" 'Shadow in the Dark' is not coy in its appeal. The melody is warm and comes through in Andrews‘ vocals as well as the guitars, which during the verse bring more open-feeling notes, like a West Coast King Buffalo almost, but working toward the end of building into the chorus, which fills the space created by the verse with post-grunge nod, unpretentious, engaging, and serene but still heavy in both tone and presence. Also theme. " -- JJ Koczan, The Obelisk

lyrics

Shadow on an open window's sill
A floorboard creaks
The dead of night is still
Stains on the carpet
Blood on the ceiling
Just a glimpse would send your senses reeling

Maybe you and they were worlds apart
It makes no difference to a shadow in the dark

Somebody there outside the door
The place the midnight caller's looking for
Markings from a ligature
A footprint for a signature
Only leaves the demons wanting more

Maybe you and they were worlds apart
It makes no difference to a shadow in the dark

Gather threads together for the loom
Each exquisite detail is exhumed
Logging each abrasion
Every laceration
Freed to feed a morbid fascination

Maybe you and they were worlds apart
It makes no difference to a shadow in the dark
Maybe you and they were worlds apart
Is there any love left there inside your heart?
