A light at the back of mind.
Long gone, but a fond memory.
With songs about depression,
As if it was all yesterday.
But when that spark ignites,
From that flame that never dies,
I can't look myself in the eye.
Another memoir,
From a book of misfortune, of poems left unread.
A picture perfect world, one where we're all fucking dead.
A memory of what was, a world worth living in...
But I can't stand it anymore,
So, let the flames begin.
Take my love,
Turn it into sadness,
Another day fuelled by this mind of madness.
Take my happiness,
Throw it all away,
Because I'm struggling to make it through another day.

Wonderful dramatic opening, the voice of a black woman in all her honesty, vulnerability and openess. And then one of the fiercest tracks of Zulu, total hardcore: 'Now they are through with me', full of twists and turns, and suddenly ending in a kind of soul-track, brilliant! This is 21st century music at it's best. The end lecture is dramatic and disturbing, spoken again by a black woman. Makes you think. Hesperus
On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 30, 2019
