We are. Here's to all of us who managed to glean power from the same words hurled at us behind and ahead of fists, objects from cars, unwanted advances, and weapons like weird little fucking alchemists. We're turning shit into strength, shit into power. Our bodies and faces wouldn't let us hide even when we wanted to. We’re told we were fucked up long before we knew our greatness. Now we're reimagining our limits. Grasping back at the hands that tried to tell us that our lives aren't worth living. Swatting them into the same obscurity they tried to trap us in. Here's to us. Unwanted and weird, loud, unruly and opinionated, ugly, working through it, behind it, steeped in some things but always surviving. Always surviving.

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
