Black Tie Affair

Liner Notes
#doom #funeraldoom #ambient #slothcore #cat
I wanted to try some funeral doom. Kinda stalled out on the first couple tries, finally got something I'm satisfied with. The lyrics are about embalming, because naturally. The ending includes a contribution from my cat Sable
Lyrics
Flush my veins with formaldehyde Limber up my limbs stiff from rest One last massage though it comes too late To feel this comprehensive cleanse
Stitch my lips so I can’t smile Inflate my lungs and drain my stomach dry Pickle my guts and put them back inside Contacts to supplement my sunken eyes then I ascend
Dress me, pose me like a doll Paint my face a lively blush For once I’m proper for a black tie affair
Perfume me, preserve me, for when you must exhume me, to move me Nothing is permanent Hide away the cause of death Play make believe I’m a passive object now

Love the atmosphere here - those big distorted chords ringing out to almost silence is so cool. The quiet and contemplative vocal reminds me a lot of Maynard James Keenan

Very atmospheric, love all the differents layers in here. Your voice is really lovely and add a beautiful contrast! Definitely some shoegaze vibes 😀

Nice to see some doom on here. Nice sense of atmosphere in this track. And some really great lyrics. I particularly like "Perfume me, preserve me, for when you must exhume me, to move me Nothing is permanent". You should also add the slothcore tag, if people are doing that again this year. Cheers :)

Good slothcore. Nothing moves slower than a corpse.
