FINALLY got this in the post today...
obviously heard most of the tracks...
But "Pirates"-
its a monster of a track, empty, yet teeming with diseased urban life, seething with different layered elements... its structure I think works the best out of all the tracks on the album, as it develops quite considerably across its 6 minute length.... gradually building into grimey ravey stabs and delayed guitars... like a 2step "I Remember Nothing".... emptiness filled with glistening, disquieting details...
And all the sounds that are like discarded shell casings hitting the floor at the bottom of a reverb pit are incredible too....
And "Forgive" rising like some kind of rave "Jerusalem", or a forgotten national anthem for a country long since destroyed thru war or sunk beneath the waves, still transmitting, across ever growing layers of static and interference... gorgeously evocative.
