lyrics
Ahead of schedule, we are entering the realm of science fiction, strapping ourselves into reclining chairs, watching screens fill with a planet that looks something like the Earth we remember, but less detailed, less hospitable. Entering into the spirit of things, we adopt expressions of heroic concentration and end each sentence with Over. Who’d have thought that dystopia would be so mundane? Who’d have thought that parallel worlds would be stacked so tight that there’d be no room left to breathe?
Rivers run black, and when we check the likelihood of a breathable atmosphere, the data’s inconclusive, winking digits demanding caution while confirming the lack of alternatives. Scans estimate a population of almost eight billion humans, but the only voice in our retro headsets, sizzling through static that blisters like boiling fat, is the Big Bad Wolf, suggesting last minute adjustments and promising a warm, warm welcome.
Sometimes the most important decisions come down to generic tropes and narrative expectations, and I momentarily consider a young girl running through a dark wood, a proud pig thatching his dream home, raising a licked anthropomorphic finger to test the weather; but we’re locked into our story like a rebel ship in a tractor beam, braced for a battle against insurmountable odds. We prepare ourselves for impact, exchanging steely smiles as the galaxy howls like a wolf. I wonder at what point I should reach for your hand.
So here we are, still braced for touchdown, still spinning at a thousand miles per hour, still blinking in the beauty of astronomical disasters. Gaseous clouds become nothing but light and distance. Crab and Horse Head. Cliffs fall away into the sea and a lighthouse performs its dervish dance, curling back over the horizon. The speed of erosion is relative. Bright points delineate neither archer nor goat, yet everything is connected in a manner impossible to understand.
Science, religion, superstition: we choose our metaphors according to momentary contingency. Cliffs fall away into the sea and the Great Wolf snaps at the Moon. Eagle. Seven Sisters. Beauty of shift and reception. Bright points delineate neither hunter nor dog. Out on the waves, a shadow of a boat. Arbitrary intersections of perception and belief. A meditation of lighthouses. Blink. Light and distance.

With their blend of playfulness and graduate-level instrumentation, Dorcha deftly prove that improvisational zeal and conservatory-level precision aren't mutually exclusive. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 16, 2020
