Harbor 07:57
When the things that we have loved change into the moment of waking and grasping at the night not remembered, When we ourselves are this thing expanded but hardened a bed of mollusks an oyster garden, When you are no longer the seedling but the surface onto which new things grow A shipwreck beneath the waves teeming but having lost its intention, I pray to harbor life somehow. I pray to harbor life somehow. Lord, make us a shipwreck. Let there be ground at last one way or another and life we never planned.

Bardo 07:41
Do you remember when there was a hell and a hook for our keys so we knew where they were? I have watched you put fruit to your lips while only moths flew out, our bellies still empty. Is this the end? Lodged between teeth or killed in a corner dice game? May it not be like this. May it not be like this. I’ve watched the others weave elegant cloaks, carry back profound epilogues, but my bricks remain scattered at my feet I can build no edifice. I have tried my hand at grace but have none left. I find myself alone in an empty room and there is only "May it not be like this" "May it not be like this" Not like this. Not like this. Not like this.

Thrum 06:48
Moving like the distance between two points. Cruel like the distance between two points. Impartial like the distance between two points. We raise arms against the distance between two points. We deny the distance between two points. Our hands claw at the distance between two points. Our clothes are rent by the distance between two points. Futile like the distance between two points. Searing like the distance between two points. Bent down by the distance between two points. My love and the distance between two points. My self and the distance between two points Let go her voice in the river. Let go the weight in the river. Let go the need in the river. Let go these hands that cannot hold that cannot hold the distance between two points.

I put my hands upon the plywood and roll myself into the furnace's mouth. Now that I am ashes can you help to scatter me somewhere beyond this? I no longer understand this house I haunt. Shouldn’t this have burned? I no longer understand. After the fires and floods, I am what remains. Gather me so I am not lost. Scatter me so I am not lost. The whole world with me huddles indoors, Forgets to wind the clocks, Makes the bed, then doesn’t. Can’t remember where they put the vital things. Makes systems to remember. Our love is piled high in public places because there is no room to bury it. We forget to wind the clocks and bury it one way or another. Now it is a question of time and how to spend it. I do not want a return to the rule of blood and hunger When we lived beneath the fists of a larger ape Who still lurks about the camps at night Whose shadow Haunts but no longer understands. And yet But surely… Something has been lost. And yet But surely Someplace Someplace Better And yet... There are red winged blackbirds singing by the river oblivious to the wastesite cordoned off in yellow. I have never seen them before in this field which had once itself been ash where now they sing out their claims. They sing out: "There is nowhere better nowhere better nowhere better than this than this" Gather yourselves We are not lost We are what remains We are what remains Forward and Backwards again They dive

about

Cacophonous Revival is proud to present Aftermath, the first full-length collaboration from Philadelphia based trio Luna Honey and legendary guitarist Norman Westberg (Swans). Aftermath paints a haunted and bleak soundscape where these two disparate forces congregate and create movements of music that at times sounds like a portal to dark places and at others, a soaring document of hope. Begun two months after the death of lyricist Maura Pond's mother, Aftermath is divided into four lyrical vignettes on grief and loss. The four tracks here combine drone infected atmospheres coupled with haunting vocals to create one of the more unique collaborations of the year.
