With every eye on horizon lines
hallucinating saviors
The static fades out & in again
Morning moons show failures
In open waters, with empty skies
Ranks are always thinning out
Floated tags are torn apart
& all the fins keep closing in
We’ll adhere to plans one more day
Keep pulling tags up from the waves
then shine em up
Send back the sun to catch an eye
overhead in line of sight
Panic fades out & in again
with every dawn & sunset
Guessing always what lie in wait
underneath the surface
From out of the blue an interference
enters in the skyline
Just stay on course
& follow the sign
and steer into the signal fire
Collect tags
as signal fire fuel
The sunlight
serving as a starter
Collect tags
of all that we had lost
End the wait here
Let us all hear that sweet engine song

Shoegaze, post-rock, black metal, dark ambient: if it's gloomy and surreal, you'll find it on the Arizona outfit's excellent second LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 14, 2022
Riding the line between indie pop and psychedelic folk, the songs on the latest from The Madeleines are as gorgeous as they are mysterious. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 22, 2022
The Arizona band do right by post-hardcore on their immersive new LP, leavening untempered breakdowns with carefully-measured catharsis. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2018
