Funny, someone said they will someday get sick of hearing Gary's voice. Personally, for me that would be hard. I will be absolutely truthful about this song. I like Gary's voice, but to me the music does not match the song. I still gave it a thumbs up for Gary's voice & the lyrics he wrote. In truth, I think called out in the dark is much better. Although, not that this is important, but I have an advertising degree... & personally, I think they are saving the best for last.... Maybe not, but
NOTE: For people who don't necessarily like the two new songs, know that SP released sneak peeks at the other two songs on the EP. They are more like the ones you are used to hearing. If you would like a listen go to their website.
thanks so much for posting this. thier last album played with some experiments but its nice to see they are fully committed to developing thier new sounds this time. anyone who liked chasing cars will probably hate this song and album.
I loved the melancholy bitterness of the first two albums, the heartbroken perfection of the third, the sublime bliss of the fourth, but I like the new urgency and lyrical goodness of this new album so far. Just sayin'.
SP's trying new and different things! I'm sooooo happy that they are branching out and making music that doesn't fit the stereotypical SP sound. I think it shows deep creativity and thought. I like this song a lot (although I liked Called Out in the Dark better), and I cannot wait to listen to the rest of the album! SP for life!
Owen Pallett ftw!!!

I was expecting it to build and peak with some heavy guitar riffs but sadly it never did. Perhaps they'll do that live.

I like it. Its different. Can just see them, about 20 african drummers and a load of strobes live. It would be stunning.
