astride the leaf-queen

Over, over, and through the wire
Astride the Queen of Leaves
Exhaust the foal as she beseeches, requires and concedes.
Scrub the fires of revenance
With the rightful recompense
Of Time.
Strike the synapse. Trap the pyre --
The nerve -- in blood, in bone.
Curse the Queen with every fiber; this never was your home.

Dim as sloe,the woods are deeper
Than the Goddess should allow.
Turn away now.
You dare not follow me;
The briers bite too sweetly.
You unlatch the gate.
Our egg-teeth bump and click,
But your words defile the blackest troth.
It's the fear of your heart, dear, that gets me off.
Ley-lines crease the feral landscape
Round the relics of our vows
You hound the marches,
And though I taste your scent,
The wild wood beguiles me.
Grind the key.
Bow the strings of your heart for me.
The timbre yields a sip of anisette
In the pleasance of your oubliette.

Go.
Sink into the
Clay.
Spiritual slag.
I know you won't
Shine.
In a moment we will
Fly
So
Far
On such a baleful breath.
No fanfare will sound on that radiant night.
No wings will be spied in the blast.
No spirit will hold you in the tunnel of light.
So shake the dead hand of the past.
Die.
Sink into your
Faith,
Mummer of kind
Lies
(Fulsome with dead
Praise).
Entropy will
Ring.
Each
Trace
Will sanitize to soil.

YR LAD Charleston, South Carolina
YR LAD is a syncretic verbal sigil that embodies the crossroads between the time-shrouded mysteries of tradition and the emerging mysteries of the neological digital era. It manifests the present as a gateway between the new and old worlds: envision the letters as you speak the words, and step through the portal into the essential Cosmic American musical experience. ... more
YR LAD recommends:
These guys blew our minds when we split a bill with them in Charleston years ago. Bôa Noite is an absolute masterpiece, and a testament to what can be achieved on an independent basis.

Dead Magic
by Anna von Hausswolff
Anna Von Hauswolff recontextualizes her instrument completely, and the organ becomes an organic part of her frosty gothic-industrial-neo-folk soundscape.

Largely through-composed, performed and recorded with a breathless and raw immediacy. A startlingly fresh take on emo and american roots music - favorite track: Light On.
