[STATE OF SOUND] New Artists Soundcast #17: Meek Meerkat Minds Can’t Make Love, War Edition
STATE OF SOUND is a Sights and Sounds feature where I select new electronically focused bands of stratospheric level quality that’ve been hanging around the periphery of the blogopshere’s vision (just waiting to be discovered). I select only on quality, but try to shoot for Soundcloud/Facebook followers of <6000. If you’d like to be considered for a soundcast, message our Senior Editor Kavi at the contact on my page.
THIS TIME: Reached the point where ‘move on/let go’ makes mountains of fucks move out of me. Mountains of fucks but each fuck is a splinter. Tiny, inconsequential bits of wood that slice my tongue on the way out. As if to say: the first time. the 5,000th time. the 64,000th, even. I could make those words into rocks, Himalayan sized ones. Smash them against your cerebellum to simulate lion.ROARS in your meek meerkat mind. Get you thinking some other way than sadness. I don’t know, maybe even inch your skull a centimeter somewhere than here. Morphed morphemes into rocks so you’d move the fuck on, into the light. Dark in here when you’re lying, staring at the ceiling for seven weeks. Forgot how to be a human, that there were things called windows. So you light on fire the space where your heart used to be. Trashcan thoracic bonfire so you can stumble to the bathroom. This time you won’t fumble your feet on the femurs of feelings from fifteen months ago. Move on on your own. No more boulders barreling down your veins.
Mangle my hands moving mountains to see you never let.go. All the sounds you make never make you soar. Your sounds, shivers. If you’re going to shiver under your sheets for seven years, whispering sweet #strongwords of nothing to yourself. Maybe splinters, the blood you leak off your tongue on your white satin sheets will make you see the street before the Saturday after next.
