(Occupation)
Move in. Incursions into the wilderness of poverty. Pave the way. Disregard how your actions affect the natives. All attention on yourself. Pave the way, you've paved the way. Short-sighted enablers, you've cleared the way. The evictions are in the mail. The bulldozers are on the way.
(Notorious Bastard)
You're the right arm of oppression. You're the iron fist of gentrification. You've stolen our homes. You've leveled our homes. You've stolen our homes. You've taken our lives. Developer! Land baron! Across this beautiful city, you've spread the flakes of your extrement. Now harvest monoculture.
(Transients)
Yearly mass migration. Ritual exploration. You've been everywhere, but you don't remember anything. Lifestyle decadence. Shadow of the elite. You take, take, take. You give nothing back. Afraid of being controlled, so you submit to control. You'll repeat your mistakes. You'll repeat their mistakes. You're the refuse caught in the whirlpool, circling the drain. As monotonous as a career.

it feels like something of great meaning broke and now there are pieces scattered all around. smoke and dust everywhere. there is a certain bitter beauty to this chaos that you can experience here.

haunting and soul crushingly beautiful. I love how seamlessly the clean, melodic sections are woven into the noisy, abrasive parts. I only wish it was longer Jin Roh

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
