So Klarity. Trance-like states are induced throughout Volume 1, weaved through by goth gaze moods paced with stoner grunge guitars - lyrics such as “felt all the blame inside me”, “your predictable I can foresee what you’ll say, we will not be portrayed, as weak and unlovable” - brooding lovelorn memories, panoptic sensuality.
Melodic desire connected in echoes of Korn and Deftones infected riffs through five tracks, moving in and out of a drone afterglow. Resistance to concealed narrative is pushed aside, instead baring all. Volume 1 is a collection of aching love songs; yearning dreams - an anguished postcard punctured with secrets.
Within this stream of consciousness; spinning melodies of forlorn devotion, longing messages drifting inside the Black Hole Sun. Jouissance: "One does not know it, one does not desire it, one joys in it [on en jouit]. Violently and painfully. A passion… an impure process that protects from the abject only by dint of being immersed in it", the cathartic messages of the otherness that is femine language.” (Julia Kristeva, Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection).
