With Rainer Maria not around any more, and with Caithlin De Marrais making much less hysterical records these days, there’s a little bit of a hole in my life. Don’t get me wrong, I prefer the older, wiser Caithlin. Still, every now and then you just want a track where it sounds like the singer is teetering on the brink of total collapse.
Signs – LoveLikeFire
This track, from San Francisco’s LoveLikeFire is precisely such a song. It rages against the dying of the light, screams, hectors, crackles and bursts like pine needles tossed into a roaring fire. It’s a call to war, to collapse, to chaos.
The album is called Tear Ourselves Away, and I have yet to hear the whole thing, but have just been digging this track too much today to wait for posting.
It’s also worth mentioning that they’ve got a fun cover of one of my favorite Magnetic Fields songs “Abigail, Belle of Kilronan” available here.
