about

I didn't tell anybody what I saw at your house when I was eight, because I didn't understand what had happened until I was twenty-seven.

lyrics

There's fresh cracks in the driveway concrete
I can see through the kitchen door
I stand and watch a car peel out
As you collapse on the loungeroom floor

And the Secret Life Of Us is on the television
We're fifteen minutes from a police station
And nobody will pay
For what they've done today

I can see the paint peeling on the place across the road
That proves we're spitting distance from our childhood home
And our mother couldn't hold me as tightly as you did
As we racked with sobs like little kids

And there's Machine Gun Fellatio on the micro system
New bloodstains in the drive
And neither of us
Will make it out of this town alive

about

flood queen Melbourne, Australia

Flood Queen was raised to believe that facile mimicry was the same thing as mastery. She knows the shape of two or three kinds of pop songs, and can convincingly reproduce them with something almost approaching confidence, if not quality or value.

every track in this has twists and turns and it comes together so neatly as an album. I listened to this many times and im still finding new things. i dont know any other artists like female wizard, i cant fit this in a genre either, it's sorta somewhere around idm and trance and techno raeaw
