NEW ARMOUR - S/T - MMXIV
sunflower river
it might be sadistic to take such pleasure in burning bridges but there it is
who knew i'd come home enforced to cut cords
it's fine, i'm done
there's nothing or no one i won't throw under the bus i have no photo or proof of you and me
i could be lying about my memories if i close my eyes
and grind my teeth hard enough
i could forget why i'm angry
but suppress you in the process
you will live on in the hearts of others they're far blacker than mine
take your punishment the way god intended i feel so estranged from you
the right songs
all the right wrong bad ideas you're a record holder
you held out the longest
who knew i'd be the one to feel spent
i don't know if you know
but my hands are keys
and where they can lead me you would never believe i don't want you to go
but i need you to leave
in the pines
queen of misplaced anger
king of the fake farewell
i see myself in you, though i can't bear to live through you surrounding cities still don't do you justice
kudos for your enthusiasm
honesty and passion have fled and these new circumstances have reaped poor consequences no use in chasing imaginary goals
a contorted inner dialogue and an aversion to solitude
revel in the complexity
"Passion is a cold collective and will soon stretch thin. Everything I've taken for granted is filed away,
so let these strings unravel on their own"
poinciana
attention all men, women friends of friends
call it what you will
we've all committed incest invest in lifelong abstinence love is so political
we're branded
submissive
aggressive
obsessive
dismissive
do you seek council? all promises are threats we will all be punished i just call it as i see it
vereor nox
your paranoia might kill you
if it don't then yours and mine combined will do us both in
and i need you to stay alive to watch me die unlocked doors lead to burned down homes

about
New Armour's swan song recorded as a four piece live off the floor before unfortunately falling apart (before the tape could even be released) cementing a certain inescapable essence. Its a sense of longing and distain nestled in the layers of feedback which carry through the duration of the recording, fleeting but always present and often only noticed in the moments of calm.

The latest single from NY artist Maŕa is swathed in shadowy atmospherics and powered by jittery rhythms, ghostly & magnificent. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 2, 2021
