about

Fatal Twist is the first song on our upcoming EP 'Sad Sack Starter Pack' and we wrote it in 2021 before things really started getting back to normal. It's about the internal tug-of-war between holding onto hope and surrendering to the void, which was constantly shifting for me at the time.

We originally thought this would be a solo acoustic song, but then the band arrangement sounded so good with drums, viola, and harmonies. This song really sets the stage for the themes and sound of rest of the EP, serving as the opening to the rabbit hole. We hope you like it as much as we do! - Jesse

lyrics

Before the ending comes to stay
All of this must go away
We’re burning off our time in place
And all of this will end
And I was singing death
I was singing death
I was singing death
I was singing death

When everything that lasts will change
Return to dust another day
But there was nothing I could say
To maybe change your mind
And you were singing
I can’t let it stall
Ever onward engines crawl
Before we go and throw it all away
And I was singing death
I was singing death
I was singing death
I was singing death

This is Dreamjacket, the musical blanket you wrap yourself in to drift off into a shoegazey fog of bliss. Tuck in and listen. ... more
