Beat A B!tch Up

Night confession with squinting eyes and black humor: a voice that either whispers about the blood in the soul, or praises exploits in drunken promises. Here jealousy sounds like old vinyl - it crackles, but does not stop playing; here the willingness to do anything is packaged in manic tenderness and a little stupid determination - as if someone in all seriousness promised to drive all competitors out of life, but says this with a smile through a mouth full of whiskey.

The combination of threats and concern is like a postcard sent from the front of the senses: funny, disturbing and unexpectedly touching at the same time. Music turns impulses into a movie - a dark room, a flickering lamp, and next to someone who is ready to fight for attention, but most of all wants to just stay in the company. This voice is full of contradictions, a lively and slightly frantic diary of nightly feelings.
