Low explores narratives of femininity, set within the fairytale trope of the transfiguration of adolescent girls into songbirds.
lyrics
Low
------
Forest of Eves -
all library leaf, and paper cut,
the night above, the moon beneath.
See a little birdie flying low -
find a breeze, flow, flex your feathers!
Did you ever see a bigger sky?
She sings “la, la, la”
wherever she flies, though she tries to fly away.
Down in the grove,
all freckled light, and eggshell rain,
the summer warm and thick with cherries:
be-comely woman, headed home
to find a comb before she finds her father.
“Oh, did you ever feel so flooded
as when lying low with me?
Take me down in Leman fields”,
wherever they go, they will know the way she’s walked -
those lilies stain like tailor’s chalk.
All flowering elflock.
I used to draw men like you,
shaped their shoulders through the night.
But I could never get the fingers right -
they used to clutch too tightly
than to befit my softly shepherd.
They told you “always wield your will, your grace.
” To us, to take it lying low, they set us in our place:
“Ladies, most of you will be mothers…
you will love, and you will bleed
its honeyed wine, its flaxen seed.
Spitting teeth on swallowed stones,
all flowing milk and bruisy bones.”
Baby, you were born to bear it.
Lo,
Little Birds,
beating down on brittle branches.
Did you ever see a bigger sky?
Loris and the Lion weave gentle tales of joy and loss; a patchwork of sonic delights built by (wo)man and machine to soothe
the soul and feed the heart.
A duo from Liverpool, navigating life together accompanied by: fairytales; folktales; lifetales.
Calling to mind the sounds and spirit of Joanna Newsom, Tori Amos and Jesca Hoop....more
I do not normally cry because of music, or fiction in general. Chords made me cry. Every time I listen to it, it still feels like a warm, tight goodbye hug.
But it isn't what convinced me to buy this album, because damn, I knew I would right from the start of Secret Worlds, and knew it ever more at every song. The way the songs here can combine to tell a whole new story, and even reference others from The Horror and the Wild, is just magnificent. Mayana
I discovered this band mere weeks ago through pure chance; someone recommended Fair in a discussion about wholesome songs. And it was; love at first listen. YouTube recommended me Battle Cries next, so I gave that a listen too, and the the energy and the overlapping lyrics made me fall in love anew.
I bought this album and Ruin less than a day later. Everything TAD have made is true art, different from everything else I've heard. Mayana
