Does anyone love to listen to "There existed an addiction to blood" & "Visions of Bodies being burned" during/around October-fall months? I feel like the creepy songs make the season feel just right. As well as bangers from their other albums like Body & Blood.
i’m sure there are numerous examples, but three that particularly stand out to me are story 2, story 7, and wake up! being neurodivergent, there’s something so immersive about their music that just tickles my brain.
story 2 is obviously lauded for the change of tempo and time signatures, but i precisely love how it reflects the panic and urgency of mike winfield as he realizes that his house is in flames. the shift in tempo is also so seamless, the production by snipes and hutson is chef’s kiss. however, i also love the tempo and time signature shifts in story 7, even if they’re a bit harder to follow!
in wake up, it’s a bit more subtle but the protagonist, cargo 2331, goes through hypersleep, where their body and blood (cleavers up, bring em here…) slows down and ultimately becomes frozen. in the first chorus, daveed says “slow blood” in a way that is reflective of the body slowing down. i feel like it sounds silly but it scratches my brain in a good way and makes the song such a fun listen.
feel free to share any other examples + things you like about clipping and their story telling, i love it 😁
