Mopac, Burn & Soothe

Sometimes a song is just layered right, with all the space and shining chords in the right places over deliberate drums and powerful bass. It starts in a building of layers, a coming of power, and the void represented in methodical instrumentation and short clever silences between. The story would unfold whether the lyrics existed or not, I am certain. But thankfully they do… The wonderful female voice sings about slithering into the covers after shedding her skin, with a demon and another playing nice in the night. I feel the touch and go, impatience for presence, and the existential positioning of one’s self on the edge for experience. Fleeting longed-for love and the leaving’s lingering absence do the burning and soothing, and it comes across like a good thing.
