Do You See What I See / As Starlings Do

by Fritch

/
1.
Do you speak to the trees Like they talk to the edge of the sky? Do you move with the arrow tipped swallows that fly To the moon and back time after time after time? Do you wave to the sun when you summon the stars To wade deep in your wide open night? Do you see what I see? Do you see what I see? If you did would you hunt me down? Did you marry the gaps between sky and land Somewhere outside the range of my vision? Do your stratosphere eyes see the three degree rise And the heat of the air I inhale? Is that you in the queue with reusable bags Is that you with your name out of reach? Do you see what I see? Do you see what I see? If you did would you hunt me down?

Here – A mummer a whisper a twist of a limb Here – Needlewire grin set to gather regather Here – Hitched like a twitch of warm air to the chill A quarantine drift lifting slick murmurations That split and unwire and rewire Come armed to hilt and churlish curl Touch sensitive wreckage as twist comes to turn Come armed to hilt and needle wire How easy the evening was told to be still How easy the evening was told to be still And now As murmured whisper gives Its gathered needle grin We move like starlings move Now As twitch of warm air charms The quarantine that lifts We begin to swirl

about

Following ‘We lose Our Cool’, Fritch continue to showcase their lush of wonder and finely honed cool grip on fear. These are the boldest sounds crafted so far.

'Do You See What I See' is gothic new-wave and Scott Walker’s ‘Tilt’, with the rough sheen of bleak Depeche Mode. ProjectP gave this more than a remix. He re-wrote, rearranged and reshaped. It’s a bleak Blackstar soundscape of heat.

'As Starlings Do' is the focus. The centrepiece of the upcoming album. What begins as raw sound and a vocal that soars, hits with rhythms and rave synths and beats that build up to a switch into post punk and dance. Adam Ant, Swans, Broken Social Scene, all these acts come to mind as it raptures.

Combine these with visuals from A Falling Bird and we have something truly remarkable.

Fritch’s new album, Unwire Rewire Rewire is due November 5th, 2021
from Rats on the Run and Other Voices Records
