Pull down your silver blinds
Try and get some sleep tonight
Dream of America and how she’s calling you
In glittered robes and your mother’s shoes
There's hours still to come undone
To hide away from that vicious sun
Carpels concealed in a lily’s bell
A maiden’s shell
Water confined to an ancient well
An evening spell
Walk to the water’s edge
Move slow so nothing shows
Hold on to pale thoughts and pale limbs
As they drift as they sink and swim
It’s been years now you’ve quietly hummed
To still the words to that beating song
Carpels concealed in a lily’s bell
A maiden’s shell
Water confined to an ancient well
An evening spell
The gorgeous new dreampop LP from Persica 3 is split into two halves, the first swirling and shoegazey, the latter quieter and moodier. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 7, 2022
