Red Sparowes
Every Red Heart Shines Toward The Red Sun
Tracklisting
- The great leap forward poured down upon us one day like a mighty storm, suddenly and furiously blinding our senses.
- We stood transfixed in blank devotion as our leader spoke to us, looking down on our mute faces with a great, raging and unseeing eye.
- Like the howling glory of the darkest winds, this voice was thunderous and the words holy, tangling their way around out hearts and clutching our innocent awe. [listen to this track]
- A message of avarice rained down and carried us away into false dreams of endless riches.
- "Annihilate the sparrow, that stealer of seed, and our harvests will abound; we will watch our wealth flood in.
- And by our own hand did every last bird lie silent in their puddles, the air barren of song as the clouds drifted away. For killing their greatest enemy, the locusts noisily noisily thanked us and turned their jaws toward our crops, swallowing our greed whole.
- Millions starved and we became skinnier and skinnier, while our leaders became fatter and fatter.
- Finally, as that blazing sun shone down upon us, did we know that true enemy was the voice of blind idolatry; and only then did we begin to think for ourselves.
2xLP/CD Release Date: 11 Sept 2006
Red Sparowes' plunge into the unexplored depths of melodic psych-noise continues with the release of Every Heart Shines Toward The Red Sun, an hour-long opus of blinding washes of colour and intense, paralysing riffage. Recorded and mixed by Tim Green (Fucking Champs, Melvins), the record is darker and more focused than Soundless Dawn and signifies a further development in Red Sparowes' project to alter the accepted orthodoxy of heavy music. Pursuing the psychedelic wall of sound ethic still further, Every Heart recalls Isis and Neurosis while subtly rewiring the sonic manifesto of those bands, an epic marriage of melodic intensity and apocalyptic noise.
