she'll never speak again
you'll only tell her that it never happened
can't even trust a friend
they might just leave you for dead
and then they say "boys will be boys"
but these "boys" are men
and these girls didn't ask to be touched by them
it's not where she was
it's not how she dressed
and it's not her fault you don't know what consent is
if there's one in your company
i wonder when they're gonna come for me
boys will be boys
will be boys
will be boys
sorry i did it again
opened my mouth and now you're all threatened
avoid the point like the truth is a weapon
i'll aim it right at your neck then
when they say "boys will be boys"
but these "boys" ain't sh!t
and these girls shouldn't have to put up with it
it's not where she was
it's not how she dressed
and it's not her fault you don't know what consent is
if there's one in your company
i wonder when they're gonna come for me
and it must be nice for you to feel safe
when you walk down the street
but if you lay a hand on my sister again
you might lose some fxckin' teeth
Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.

The title track pulled me into Slow Crush's orbit, but Tremble held me there - alongside Lull from the Hush LP and the whole of Seasurfer's Dive In, it can send me into an altered state of consciousness. The album vibrates with hints and nudges, from Slowdive twangs to a Corgan-esque chord shift, but Slow Crush are their own sound - thick, dark melodic, etherealistic soundscapes with Isa Holliday's vocals both binding the music and rising above it. One of the best bands in years. sentientpoet
