- "Grey Water" from Them Are Us Too's farewell album 'Amends': www.daisrecords.com/collectio...
Them Are Us Too was formed in the Bay Area by friends Kennedy Ashlyn and Cash Askew in 2012 after meeting at school. Fast friends with an appreciation for the same music and art, they recorded a demo and began performing intimate and memorable gigs on the west coast. They quickly gained a cult following as word spread about their youthful, innocent, and fresh take on the revered 80s dream pop and shoegaze sound, and Kennedy Ashlyn’s voice was immediately compared to Elizabeth Fraser, Kate Bush, and Harriet Wheeler - while Cash Askew’s washes of intricate guitar felt akin to Robin Guthrie, Ronny Moorings, or Kevin Shields. Their music felt familiar but new, nostalgic, and heartbreaking, with songs delivered simply and earnestly. They betrayed their age (both only 21 when they signed to Dais Records) by releasing one of the most incredible debut albums of 2014, Remain.
Tragically, Cash Askew passed away in the Ghost Ship fire in Oakland in December of 2016, sending a shockwave of loss through our community. While Kennedy Ashlyn would eventually emerge as a solo artist through her project SRSQ, there were unfinished Them Are Us Too recordings and demos that Kennedy and those close to Cash felt deserved be heard in her memory.
Kennedy returned to the studio with producer Joshua Eustis (Telefon Tel Aviv), Sunny Haire (Cash’s stepfather), Matia Simovich (INHALT), and Anya Dross (Cash’s girlfriend) to complete unfinished demos and sketches, write new compositions and honor Cash Askew.
The result is Amends, an album of tragic beauty and depth that pulls at emotions and inspires.
In Kennedy’s own words:
Amends is a collection of songs that would have been the second Them Are Us Too record. This release is an amendment to our catalogue cut short; a final gift to our family, friends, and fans who have supported us for the past 5 years. “Amends” is a collaborative effort between Them Are Us Too and some of Cash’s dearest friends and family, culminating in a final “thank you” and “goodbye.” Nothing will ever compensate for the loss of Cash, but as we struggle to put together the pieces of what the world is now, what life is now, I hope this record can help to fill in the gaps. And give us some amount of peace."

I cannot listen to this song without weeping. I feel it so deeply every single time.
Magic, however, exists!
It destroys me every time, but in a good way. Makes me feel alive and full off love. Her voice is that of an angel.
what an underrated, hauntingly beautiful masterpiece. went straight to my list of all-time-favourites
Getting a real otherworldly Twin Peaks vibe from this. Gorgeous.
Yeah! 🤝🏻
What a Voice. What a Song.
Greetings from Germany to the whole World
I close my eyes, you turn away
Won't recognize what we cannot take
[Pre-Chorus]
Flesh will give way in time
Hasten the day, til I
[Verse]
Let my name fall into the night
Grey water flow, wash away light
[Pre-Chorus]
A silent escape, could I?
An endless mistake, this life
(damn that's deliciously Dark🖤🖤🖤)
I can't live without this song ..
the perfect song does exit!
So beautiful R.I.P. Cash
🕊❤️ she sings & touches our souls from beyond the veil 💫
Such a beautiful song so hauntingly beautiful
So glad I found this today!!
Right? Better now than never. Thanks to Drab Majesty-ive found this angelic music and voice
@@oknon2539 : No doubt. My introduction to Dais Records was through Drab Majesty as well. Dare I say that Dais Records is the 4 AD equivalent of this age.
Praise be upon the folk & crew at Dais Records!
Praise be to their lovely aesthetic tastes. To their successful endeavors past and present, bringing together myriad artists whose enlightened visions of both light and dark manifest profound reconciliations in particular individuals who not only hears but listens- reconciliations of human relations between ego heart and mind, self & other- these sounds render a quiet understanding, an ethereal connection, between artist and aficionado. Praise to their unobtrusive adornment of the higher and lower selves in us all by what is shared. Your wordly contributions towards nature's divine order breathes life eternal, a life all its own-which one might think i risk sounding like a kissass to a record label who hires bands from a pool of related genres located in California- but your collective work is much more than its practical purpose, more than a record label's primary intent, more than the sum of its moving amd unmoving parts. Praise be.
Thank you for every individual experience of momentary release and reprieve from our otherwise apathetic, banal, and dulled material existence.
Praise be to all the immensely gifted artists at Dais Records. You are all treasured as muses sirens poets and mediums who [re]connect us with a nebulous but familiar divinity in all things alive and passed on.
@@Lunatic4Bizcas Good to know! 4AD was my go to back in the 80s. Thanks!
@@oknon2539 thanks!!!!!1!!.... i´ll add you into my prayers....nice words only ~ "Under the charm of the Dionysian
not only in the union between man
and man reaffirmed, but nature
which has become alienated,
hostile, or subjugated, celebrates
once more her reconciliation with
her lost son man. Freely, earth profits her gifts,
and peacefully the beasts of prey of the rocks and
desert approach........" frankie went you know where.
Thank you, KCRW, for being such an incredible music station that introduces these incredible artists to your members and listeners.
I _LOVE_ the contrast of enchanting music and suicidal lyrics.
Like the figure is unaware of the magick literally surrounding them, and just wants to escape...
Relatable af.
Bravo!!!!! I felt in love with this band.
Beautiful
super singer girl perfect
Beautiful track
Love this song!
So much Cocteau Twins weaving all throughout the latticework of this track like otherworldly vines sprouting enamel art noveaux flowers that smell like memories of things that could never be...
_This_ is how you honor those bands that awakened your soul in the 90's 🖤💖🖤
edit - i don't think Cocteau Twins ever indulged a Suicidal Nihilism as deep as this song does, tho...
I agree, well recognised🤍 Cocteau Twins have created some beautiful tunes🤍
Damn beautiful 💜
Nythra, Datura, the void and death... what comes to mind
An intro that totally reminded me of early Cocteau Twins then the vocals remind me a bit of Liz and Love Spirals Downwards - not a bad combination
"David Lynch on line one."
