    First pressing of 'The Perfect Violence', our debut album. Recorded together but apart in lockdown isolation and fizzing with mythical pop culture references and gothic dreams...A self published, defiant and dreamy introduction to a band that invite you to dance wildly in the night with the dark old things.

lyrics

I get into the car and drive
Go into the mountains to hide
I left you behind just like you asked
But now you wont leave it in the past
Everything was in your control
You needed me to be your biggest fan
When you had me you changed your plans
You put a sledgehammer in my hand

But you bloodied your own stumps
We never said it out loud
But everything was wrong
I put on a brave face
I never said it out loud
But the whole goddamn thing was rotten

It isn’t your Misery its Mine
How dare you paint me
As Sledgehammer Annie
I run away deep into the tall pines
How dare you paint me
As Sledgehammer Annie

I get into the car and I drive
Go into the city and thrive
I thought I’d done just as you asked
Yet still you won’t leave it in the past
No longer caught in your control
You needed me to be your biggest fan
But when you had me you changed your plans
You put a sledgehammer in my hand

It isn’t your Misery its Mine
How dare you paint me
As Sledgehammer Annie
I run away deep into the tall pines
How dare you paint me
As Sledgehammer Annie
It isn’t your Misery its Mine
How dare you paint me
As Sledgehammer Annie
I run away deep into the tall pines
How dare you paint me
As Sledgehammer Annie
