Lyrics
With all life profane,
The ladles cradling streams of
Buttermilk current stretch out,
And alabaster lips unseal
So I may recall the soft timbre of whisper
In its stillness
When a fawn stumbles into the raid,
Honeydew high and deep in afterglow,
Mind swarming on purple sand verbena,
I forgive its delusion,
Caress its world view super bloom,
Shelter canary yellow eyes,
Then search to pin the legs of the stalking dog that
Lends its teeth to sticky, sad bedlam
War cries quake through lurching light
I bury a blade between its ribs,
Bear hug the soft canine frame,
Then smear ash on its brow
All who have forgotten remember now

Somehow putting the demonic vocals to dreamy shoegaze type music makes the whole thing sound that much more evil and disturbing and deranged. I can see why this was considered one of the best albums of '018

[@Mat_DE1t]

Listening in a dark and silent room, at night and with ear phones is just... Magic

[@IronmanKMSA]

I really think this is the best song on the album. Anyone else?

[@echoesmourn3108]

i think this is one of their best songs ever!

[@silviatomaselli114]

yeah, it's right there at the top with The Pecan Tree for me!

[@lincolnhirschi4682]

Y'know I just barely heard it for the first time, so I'll get back to ya on that. What I can tell vfc you is that it's absolutely epic. Epic in scope, in performance, whoa. Grandiosity. The whole thing.

[@Greenbaron1918]

I agree! It keeps sticking in your mind in a pleasant way

[@Tanner.Bananner]

It's hard to pick a best one because canary yellow is also thoroughly good, but the scream at the end of this song is by far the best one than I've heard on any of the others

[@oksayer3100]

That scream at 7:52 gives me so many chills

[@ACEshredZ]

Same.

[@RumTumTanner]

I started listening to the song and came to the comments, and saw the time stamp, so i skipped ahead to hear the scream, and wow, full chills all through my body, even without the buildup

[@ACEshredZ]

That scream at 7:52 really makes you feel the title of the track. What a way to close the album

[@ThatOneGuy7550]

I need more music by Deafheaven, b-sides, rarities, demos, anything. This album was sublime, nothing will ever top Sunbather but man, this was enjoyable, romantic and really beautiful. Hope the best for the band! Also congrats on the Grammy nomination, it seems unreal. Much love.

[@jameelahamed6615]

They have changed. Their first album was all about the heart, this is all about the mind. It's like The Contortionist turned black metal. I love it. Thank you Deafheaven.

Check out all of Sunbather and New Bermuda. Sunbather was the first i heard from Deafheaven and I became a fan from hearing the first song on the album. Everything ive heard from them so far has been amazing

[@johnwhite8847]

A fantastic album start to finish. Quite surprised by how different each track is from the preceding track, not to mention previous work. Probably my favorite album of the year so far.

[@paulocraice]

[@nocteperpetuaa]

holy shit this might be the best song ever created

[@ShanghaiWall]

At 2:47 the riff sounds awfully like Radiohead's "Man of War". Since that song was released a year ago, I can imagine Deafheaven were listening to it during album recording and the riff leaked unintentionally (or not?) into their song.

[@debutante9749]

without fail, i always always mishear the first line in the song at 0:21 as "ohhhhh! i like protein!!"

It's funny that people picked up Radiohead - Man Of War so quickly... The first thing I heard was a progression/hook that made me think of Oasis - Live Forever. I love that the guys in this band embrace their britpop influences. It suggests that at the end of the day they are music fans.

[@robb.4613]

+the epitome of all living things, yes xd

[@robb.4613]

+Jyotirmoy Kalita, I just think the whole album is not very cohesive. When I turn it on, the first half of the first track gets me very emotional, but then this solo comes in and bunch of sunny post-rock/shoegaze comes in. It's good on it's own, but after the full epicness of the first part the transition just sounds stupid, it's just so sudden, there's no progression into it, it just happens, and the same shit on the whole album, I just think they failed to connect heavy/epic black metal parts with melodic, calm post-rock parts (maybe it's the shtick of this album but it just hard to listen to while having a certain mood). They did it a lot better in both sunbather and ordinary corrupt human love (it's like the mood didn't change althoough genres switched). But I still listen to Brought to the water (even though I only listen to the first half, when this solo comes in I often turn it off) and some other tracks occasionally. It's a decent album

[@soylentgreen6727]

Yeah I dunno if I'm sold on this new album yet. I like their earlier stuff which had BM influences. Road to Judah / Sunbather is their best IMO.

[@andrewreed4924]

This album doesn't have black metal influences? Maybe you can't hear the vocals? Or the beginning of Honeycomb, or the blast beats section of Glint? It's definitely not black metal, but it's still clearly influenced and inspired by. They just leaned more on their other influences for this album, IMO it's as good if not better than Sunbather. At least if you go in not expecting a pure "blackgaze" album.

[@shandagriffin9333]

Glint should have been the closing track. This is one of the most boring deafheaven songs I've heard. The riff at the start sounds like a mediocre guitar jam
