    What Courtney does with her voice is from out of space, the lyrics go deep under the skin, the slow building tension gives me goosebumps every time, the interaction between the instruments and the whole song-writing is high-end dark magical art.

    I imagine your dead body lying on my bed
    And I note the details why you had to go
    You never liked the thought of being human anyway
    Death is one more option to explore
    Blinds cover the window
    Alone in a room
    Where moss grows on a temple
    Too smooth to shoot
    One life full of adventure
    Spring flowers in bloom
    Now smile, pick up your pieces
    There's nothing to lose
    But it feels like pain
    With no justified gain
    How does one stay sane?
    Crushing waves of shame
    Swirling down the drain
    When you look down on my body
    Do you want to come home to me?
    ----- ----- -----

    The first time I heard you guys, it was opening for Thank You Scientist at the Motorco in Durham NC. I had to check and see if the singer was Maura Davis of Denali. This music is gorgeous and Courtney's voice is unreal.
