Broken Lines

from Augusta by Suicide Swans

/

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    In 2016 the band once again escaped to their studio, By The Living Grace where they recorded and mixed their new album. In 2017 the band finally releases their second album ‘Augusta’ that pushes further their alt-country sound into new musical territory for the band incorporating pop, woodsy mid-tempo rock mixed with washes of violin, Wurlitzer/Rhodes flourishes, 4 part harmonies and reverb-laden vocals. The album represents the band expanding their alt-country roots incorporating pop and indie rock with the album fluctuating between acoustic laments: Wall and Come & See, forlorn mid tempo country/rock laments Pleasanton, Easy Heart and Canyons, country-indie rockers such as first single Horses, Broken Lines, and expansive sonic jams Nurse, Let Me Be and Yearling featuring the bands new found interest in mixing country and indie rock inside Americana.

about

This song is about the idea of coming to terms with your public persona and your private persona and how the two sit parallel to each other. In many ways it’s about trying to understand who you think you are compared to what people think you are compared to what you would like to be / become. The title describes this process as broken lines of thought that are built within truth and lies and how everything is a collage of both of these things.

lyrics

And there are tiny monsters, with no bones, and they’ve gotten out
And they are like whispers, floating, through your house
So many cracks and creases, find a spot where, your not lost in the crowd
Late night cash machines, drunken notes from, bank accounts

Cause all is gone
Broken, withdrawn

Because, timeeee
Oh those broken lines
They’ll wash away
Your flooded mind
And soooo
We will see
Those crippling thoughts
Float so easily

You do what you want, but now its time, to accelerate
Quarantined phone calls, they’ll just, have to wait

And here’s, to taking it, easily
