about
The third LP, One For Sorrow, Two For Joy, explores themes of balance—joy and sorrow, life and death, a tiny blue dot and an endless sprawling universe. It was written and recorded over a long winter in Reykjavík, Iceland and London, England, and was mixed and mastered in Melbourne, Australia by longtime collaborator and Grammy-nominated engineer Andrei Eremin.

Hold me down / Choke me love / There’s nothing more that I need from above / I got cum on my jeans but I swear I believe in true love / Last night we were heroines / On heroin and shitty speed / It was not as chic as I’d dreamed it would be so I fashioned my escape
As we buried you deep they served sweet champagne / I choked back a giggle and waited for rain / I was drunk and ashamed sweating sweltering oblivion / So shall we pretend as we rise from our squalour / Get up to commute / Here’s to wealth / To honour / Raise a glass to the working class building houses on salt and on sand / And cheese / Say cheese
Pass me the ball / Throw me a bone / I’ll run like a dog that is beaten and bowed / Still every try that we try to convert will be rigged up to find its way home / But I’ll carry on / Success is a bottle / I’m sucking them down / Goddamn tomorrow / Haunt me now all these spirits I’ve drowned as I circle round the drain
And I can’t sleep for the shame - Track Name: Lost
-
Let’s start again / Take my hand / There’s a star for every grain of sand / Tell me how you feel / Your sweaty palm on mine / All the gods are here / We’ll be alright
At night I dream that we are free / Just tiny beams of light escaping / Just through the seams / We’ll be alright / Endlessly we collide
And we’re not lost / We’re home now / We never die / We spread out / Can you feel the wind? / It’s lifted high above our heads / Along with every single swirling grain of sand / We will dance again - Track Name: I Will Never Let You Go
-
Darling please / Hold me in your arms so I can breathe / Lift me from the ground and I won’t leave / And I won’t let you down / It’s you and me
Oh honey please / Cut me into bits and rearrange the ones that do not fit / And you will see / Nothing’s going to change for you and me / I will rearrange for you and me
I can’t help but watch you when you sleep / To catch my breath / I see stars when you see red / I will not go / Tell me little secrets and I will weave them into our brittle bones / Then we’ll be strong I know - Track Name: One For Sorrow, Two For Joy (Beginnings & Endings)
-
I feel a little sick / A slow disease it burns / I know there’s nothing wrong dear / Though I try and try and try to get it right / I just can’t fix this
The moon looks big tonight / I guess I cried / There is something in my shoes / They're still dragging through the little bits of me that got left with you
And I don’t know / Cause I have never worked it out / I have a million doubts / The things we swore about / I’m not so sure now / And I know that you once said the smartest ones have to work for it / And I wish that i thought like that
I feel a little tired / I used to bear a torch so high my arms would shake / They'd tremble / You said some things we can change and some will stay the same / So why get upset?
And I don’t know / Cause I have never worked it out / I have a million new doubts / The things we swore about / I’m not so sure now / And I know that you once said the smartest ones god they die for it / And I wish that I’d thought of that
I know that I am a space and I am abbreviated then erased / Where are you now mate? / Where are you waiting? / And I have these dreams and they creep up on me and the next thing that I know I’m back where I started from / So I guess I lost it - Track Name: Bury Us In Fruit Jars
-
Breathe this air in / Feel it holding you up / All the boys around you / With life in their lungs / Sunday afternoon / June 24 / The sweltering city / Baby hear that knock at the door / Luther can’t you hear that knock?
There are flames and they’re rising / Oh god no / No escape / All the smoke is choking us / There’ll be nothing left to save / So come on lift me up / Carry me / I once told my mother that I’d be free
Your Sunday will come / You’ll be born again / The city will hold you to its chest / You will not die in sin / They’re all gone / They can’t hold you up / So breathe the air in and let it carry you my love / Luther can’t you hear that knock?
There are flames and they’re rising / Oh god no / No escape / All the smoke is choking us / There’ll be nothing left to save / So come on lift me up / Carry me / My mother spat and swore she'd bury me
Maybe that’s the way it’s meant to be / That’s the price we paid for freedom
There are flames and they’re rising / Oh god no / No escape / All the smoke is choking us / Clung together we are saved / So lift me up / Or bury me / My father never said another word to me / My mother locked the door as I turned to leave / So I guess that I am free
And when I am gone / When the last breath leaves my lungs / Bury me in a fruit jar with the boys that I loved - Track Name: Untitled (ft. Tom Lanyon)
-
Close your eyes I’m gonna take advantage of you / And waste your life away / I’m gonna be mad / I’m gonna be sad / I’m gonna be bad for you / You’ll wish I never knew your name / As I waste your life away
Skinny legs / They weigh a ton on my chest - Track Name: The Garden
-
Don’t cry my dear / I know that you’re scared / I know that fear / If there’s no wine / Well I’ll hide it in my overcoat / And we’ll break out darling I know / We’ll break it out I know / We’ll break out darling
I know it smells like a hospital / But you don’t need perfume to be beautiful / And if this takes us a million years we’ll sit and wait with you dear / We’ll sit and wait with you dear / We’ll sit and wait
In search of you I found myself / One day soon we will sit by your garden / You know each year when the roses bloom? / Well honey that’s gonna be you / Honey that’s gonna be you / Honey - Track Name: After The Storm
-
Darling hold me now / I am coming down / I am fading fast / I am fading / Bury me at sea / In the water deep / Let the cliffs keep watch / Let them watch me / I am coming home now
Reach your hand out / Hold your breath now / All the stars are here / All the stars are / I am coming home now
Do not mourn me / When my breath leaves / I am in the wind / When the wind blows - Track Name: Oceans
-
Are you a puddle or an ocean? / Are you drowning? / Are you floating? / Are you still? / Are you in motion? / I know what you were hoping / That you could disappear for a moment / But nothing’s ever easy is it my love?
Somehow you’ll drift away from this crowd / Somehow you’ll drift away
Are you wasting away? / Oh my dear how I worry / I don’t know what to do but I swear that I’m sorry / And nothing you’ve done Was worth nothing at all / When you sleep do you dream somewhere deep underwater? / Safe in the depths / No despair / No quarter / Still somehow I know you will rise again
You’re will rise somehow / You’re going to leave this crowd / Somehow you'll fly away
Can you feel it in your bones darling? / They’re never going to stop you now
You’re going to burn up the sky tonight / You’re not going to drown / You’re floating away now / So there’s an ocean to cross / I can tell you my dear / That there’s nothing that’s going to hold you here / I know that you’re worried / But honestly you do not need to be / Cause you’re with me / You’re with me - Track Name: Plans (Epilogue)
-
When we collide / We are alive / A spark of light
Save me / Darling please / Underneath it all I know what it means / Save me / Give me the gun / Trace out the paths of the people I loved
Don’t turn away / Burn up the sky with me / Our words are vibrating strings / They circle us now
Save me / Show me the way / Draw me a line / Draw my foot from the grave / Save me / We’ll bury it all / Cover our bones with the leaves as they fall
Still I know when you’re out of sight / I can feel it / So maybe nothing means nothing at all / And oblivion will come to call / I don’t care / We had it all
Save me / Show me the way / To step into the night / To give it all away / Save me / I guess I’m afraid
