Do you ever feel like your skin’s on fire?
Like you just stepped barefoot on a live wire
Electric current coursing through your veins
And you just need to shout
Do you ever notice all the little things that you
Didn’t notice on your first time through
Wrenching the details from the devil himself
And you just need to get out
It’s like a whirling wave
In the middle of your chest
Tell you brain to quiet down
But this is what your brain does best
Another twisting screw
Another tremulous step
And your skin is on fire
'Bout to have only your bones left
Do you ever see the fire drawing near
A distant glimmer, getting closer to here
But even though you got a fair warning
You just need to lie down
It’s like a spinning disc
Hurling right into your head
Tell your brain to quiet down
But this is what your brain does best
Another sink or swim
Another stair without a step
And your skin is on fire
'Bout to have only bones left
How is it that I’m on fire all the time
But also drowning down below deep blue?
How is it that I set myself on fire all the time
But also yell so loudly at myself not to?
It’s like a whirling wave
In the middle of your chest
Tell you brain to quiet down
But this is what your brain does best
Another twisting screw
Another tremulous step
And your skin is on fire
‘Bout to have only your bones left

Juana Molina is a mastermind at crafting bizarre, brilliant music that feels truly of its own world. And yet, you dance. Favorite track: Un Día. LIT. MAJOR
Being a huge Orenda Fink/O+S/Art in Manila fan (phew!) of course I was stoked to hear Orenda had a new project, this time with her husband Todd. It's fun & weird; unlike anything else she's done yet. LIT. MAJOR
Kieran Kane & Rayna Gellert offer up a stunning minimalist country record, conjuring huge emotions with little more than vocals & guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 13, 2022
