Church and state are strong and stable, raised on meat fattened at a stranger's table.

How low, how low? Laureate Agromania. Follow through to rotten ends. I can't find him anywhere. I wiped his feet with my hair. His children will not look at me, hell-bent upon philosophy. And they'll find me in a dark place, like, "Baby, do you want my love?" And it hurts that I cannot take it, bleeding out at the gates above. And I see them around, they're haunting the apostles of the underground. Dressed in white, and they're hiding under Salvation Army signs. He's holding me too close to say goodbye, at night I drift to sleep under watchful eye.

Sainte Dymphna, priez pour nous. Saine Rita, priez pour nous. Marie-Madeleine, priez pour nous. Priez pour nous. Priez pour moi.

about

What happens to a body without autonomy? Does it learn the language of its keepers to negotiate freedom? Or does it commit an extreme act to be thrown from the clutches of good grace? Sainerine is known in Vancouver for live performances involving self-mortification with an industrial staple gun. These wounds of purity and obedience are drained on the debut tape, “Sacrificator / Scarificator”. Raised in institutions of Catholicism and classical music, they perform what they know: blood and opera. Synth arrangements weep over rich vocals and pained harmonies, alongside elements of noise that rip into the belly of this confessional. The artist negotiates a constricted past, struggling to remove a religious birthmark. Sainerine sings, “He’s holding me too close to say goodbye, at night I drift to sleep under watchful eye...”

Thank you Nick for having this tape on Bent Window Records. Thank you Khrys and Ava for your support of this project. You are in my veins!
