about

Dora Maar. Photographer & Painter, former Picasso lover and muse. She taught him darkroom techniques and importance of art in politics that inspired his major political piece, Guernica 1937. They met in a bar, an introduction that consisted of him in an old suit and her stabbing the space between her fingers with a knife on the bar table. She drew blood, and he kept her glove with the blood stain. She had a confrontation with Marie-Therese Walter that shows up for a moment near the end of this song. It's a way to rewrite this meeting into an alliance.

lyrics

Crumpled collar met my eye so glorious and trite
Hust an impression
Old suit three years too wise
Leads to crumpled temper steal my smile
Sometimes miss the danger sound. Oh lover

Empty-handed show and tell another sacrifice
A lost confession of my muse too wise
Leads to empty bedroom take my life
Miss the burning blood so bright remember?

Hold my tongue and hold on tight
Lights across my eyes this is my living
This whole of us the hollow hours
Missing body heat so wild. Oh lover

You introduced me to your war
I learned a lot keep folding it in
Take care of the dark
Knife between the roses on the table top
The blood i kept and promised
Like a dream come true
You’re a dream come true

Crumpled collar met my eye
So glorious and trite
Just an impression
Old suit three years too wise
Leads to crumpled temper steal my smile
Sometimes miss the danger sound. Oh lover

Electro art pop that combines the love for sound and song form that is tactile and surprising. She plays with space and impact, glitch and gloss as a way to map mind into sound. ... more
