lyrics
Little mouth, little doubts
And now your spittle's sowing the seeds
We should be led in flower bed
Not in your headspace pulling up weeds
Dirty hands, the offer stands
Leant on two crutches bowed at the knees
But if you build a home from human bones
You're gonna end up in the debris
I feel such a long way from you
Everything we seem to undo
Every single hour feels like two
And I feel such a long way from you
Little mouth, little droughts
Your throat as dry as a midsummer's stream
Under duress, I'd cross my chest
To stop my sins bursting out at the seams
Cross your heart that after dark
It isn't only your eyes that'll gleam
'Cause if you shroud your fire behind barbed wire
You're gonna end up as chickenfeed

A revelation of a recording. This track is already amazing, and this take on it wrests the trademark Mountain Goats "relentless hope" into yet another beautiful shape. What a track. What an album. aquazume
Found because of Final Fantasy 16's Pax West Panel, if you know, you know! Anyway, that started me on all of the boygenius songs and albums. Love the song, I certainly formed some core memories with it, awesome track on an album of amazing songs. jrevell
Subsonic Eye combines math rock, dream pop, and guitar sounds borrowed from post-rock for songs that whirl and flurry, but never quite settle. Bandcamp Album of the Day Sep 15, 2023
A stunning album that feels at once retro and throwback and also immediate and modern. Speaks to the moment it stemmed from and feeling vital years on. bandfan25
