THE PAPER CHASE – God bless your Black Heart

TROST | TR086 | 2LP | 2004
It´s the sound of everything falling apart; the sound of frustration, the sound of wanting and rejecting love, life, death.

The focus is on human interaction where "anything can happen, anything can go wrong." It´s terrifyingly stark, harsh arrangements along with congleton´s unique, seemingly improvised guitar work and strained vocal chords, setting a blueprint for what was to follow.

Sounding like the unhinged portrayal of a young man´s descent into madness. Self-Immolating lyrics and needle-in-the-eyeball agony; a disturbing yet seductive listen.
