lyrics
Gaslit to madness
in a grey stumbling cloak
is a spectre of sadness
on the eyelid of the slope.
Oh, Errol in blackness,
feral under black lights
with little else to carry
but his song from the islands.
The songs that keep captive,
his concrete consonants,
the songs that will summon,
elsewheres and ancients.
And the voices that conjure
the tall basalt strangers,
the long blackened records,
the yelling glacier cuts,
the loud irascible shores,
are the dialects pressed
into fallen firmaments
as horizons underfoot.
Oh, Errol in blackness,
feral under black lights
with little else to carry,
but our songs from those islands.

The singular approach James Joys has long applied to deconstructed electronica, detailed sound design and carefully constructed language, folded into a world of choral texture and literally given new breath. Stunning, troubling and cathartic. Pete Devlin's voice is, as ever, a marvel. Cannot recommend enough. John Pope

Mary Halvorson is a genius composer and guitarist who has developed her own musical language, and with Code Girl she has incorporated poetry into that language. Incredible compositions and lyricism (each track is a different kind of poem). Halvorson's playing is as great as usual, and all the other members of the band sound great. Robert Wyatt's singing in particular works extremely well in the tracks he's featured. Highly, highly recommend. rat
