Songs like black cats

Songs like black cats, we cannot fathom whether they exist superimposed to our surroundings, or shadowlessly embedded within them, spilling through their invisible channels like ink on water, love or corruption. We link this peculiar effect to the continuity of their shape, the smoothness of their flow, their coating in a cloak of velvet and fuzz, which blurs them into the background, from where they machinate unacknowledged, counsellors of our subconscious.

Logosamphia’s Passage Omni is a wake for long-forgotten gods of the ocean celebrated at the bottom of the abyss, within barnacled wreckages, by the spectres of the drowned. Or the echoes of a mass at the church of our past, where we worship, and from which we are barred. In its solemnity, it stretches across a whole galaxy of mournful instances, in its beauty, it gives meaning to our bereavement.

Buy: Logosamphia Passage Omni will be released on February by Enfant Terrible Productions.

The logic of subtle manipulation from a camouflaged vantage point that we outlined above is also applicable to social environments, say, a nightclub, where a song with the right features acts as Maxwell’s Demon, sorting the behaviour of participants against the forces of entropy. This is the way dance happens.

In Organs of Love’s case, dance may in fact occur, but only as a socially acceptable version of the much darker effects suggested by its suicidal throb/dissonant keyboard graffiti combo, and its pervy glam stomp.

And what are these, you ask? The primeval triad of Sex, Drugs and Crime, all those bad things that the night was made for.

Organs of Love – Let’s Talk to Bobby

Buy: Organs of Love’s Bone is being released on the 16th of January by Optimo Music.
