salvador dali and walt disney-destino

what transpires when the spearheader of surrealist art collaborates with the chief of whimsical animation...a hodgepodge of contortion, distortion, materialization and dematerialisation. what happens when things in reality atrophy in surreality.

st.vincent-cruel

This, is Annie Clarke. Her eyes are eternally protruding, as if her faculty of curiosity is always open and malleable. Her docile yet ardent mannerisms coincide perfectly with the buoyancy of her vocals, and the symbiotic relationship between the two produces an effect that induces nothing short of stupor and reverie out of its listeners. I almost feel as if a harp should have been used in this song due to the video's cinematographic facets, but instead the electric guitar is the principal instrument and I find that to be, interesting. The song utilizes orchestral backing paired with poppy synths and an electric guitar that emits sounds that bear an eerie resemblance to scores that could quite possibly be found in either a 90's Disney film or an archetypal Christmas film. And while this may seem dissonant to the skeptical eye, the shrewd ear knows better.

taciturn acceptance

there's a cigarette hanging over there
do you see it?
on the tainted window sill
it disintegrates a little every day
and my heart
it goes with it
there's a phantom sitting over there
do you see it?
resting lethargically,in that chair
words he utters linger every day
yet I could barely 
hear him
The place stinks of aging gin
and I've seen all the 
furtive glances
I drink the air 
it's miasmatic
and I commence with 
midnight's dances 
The rain has molded my wooden floors
do you see them?
collapsing
the triumph of despair over love has won
can you see him?
advancing 
He's now begun his twilight exploits
what a shame 
he's been unshackled 
but who am I to resist such clout 
he's the tyrant 
of my conduit of darkness
and when he retreats 
i'll oblige him to return
because I thrive off of him
like a ravenous disease
and when we've both done our deeds
i'll embrace narcosis 
and let him, plant his seeds
