SOLD OUT — "Their debut EP, "I Made My Sacrifice Accordingly", finds its conceptual starting point in Canadian author Timothy Findley’s novel "Pilgrim". In exploring the psychological and emotional contours of loss, grief, and memory, the record forms a seamless first-person narrative: "I Made My Sacrifice Accordingly" is the personal lamentation of a figure in anguish. The singular narrative resonates with the long-form composition — both elements coming together to produce an eclipsing phenomenology of grief."

Includes unlimited streaming of I Made My Sacrifice Accordingly via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

In the Wilderness I Came Upon an Altar to an Unknown God;

I Made My Sacrifice Accordingly

No voice called out: you came to me in a vision
Drenched and shaking, the light carves your figure—
A form given wholly to grief
A grace or an affliction,
A purity or a witness
Cure me
Let me see the marks death made
Let me see the work of ages—
For I am corruptible and you will corrupt me yet
You will be the engine of my ruin
You will flood me
And though your loving hands may tremble
I will guide them to my throat

Yet should those hands falter
Should they arrive
Bearing neither gift nor curse
It will be asked:
What has he given?
What has been given but loss?
What voice is given to what cannot be held?
Speak and be done with it
Speak and be rid of the violence of memory

It came to me in a vision:
I dreamt you spoke the name of the void

To Which I Bore Witness
by They Grieve

supported by 17 fans who also own “Cure”

Doom born of sadness more than anger. DSDM if you will. Beautiful and emotionally charged with hints of ISIS-touched post-metal and Bell Witch poignancy. A band to watch for sure. Luke

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou

supported by 15 fans who also own “Cure”

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
