Febris / Felidae / Filum

by Gish

supported by

Alexandre MARTIN I was looking for spooky folk songs for a long time and I stumbled upon Gish's work... Her songs are sweet, they will lull you to sleep and transport you to unexplored lands, and maybe you will meet death, who will hold out his skeletal hand and invite you to a languid dance...

sambo29 One of my favourites of the year so far, I'd highly recommend this to any fans of the colder, more haunting side of Cocteau Twins discography. Great stuff!

Oh your branches sick and heavy Oh your withered twisted vines Oh that voice of yours that corners me in dreams I have no use for it now Though I try And I try And I sift every riverbed For the snake Who spoke your name And came to promise me A burning wicker wedding bed And tomorrow does What tomorrow does ( There is no other in your likeness ) ( There is no making peace with this )
2.	Felidae 03:56	lyrics	buy track
“Oh what a pretty girl you’ve become” “Oh how lovely to call you mine” Oh what a humble hill to die on Oh what a fitting way to say goodbye I’ll see you when I see you i saw myself in the film i watched the house burn down i saw it swallow you I stood there in the yard There ws nothing I could do There was a stillness in the house When your little light died I’ll see you when I see you
3.	Filum 03:19	lyrics	buy track
And I’ll gladly wait for The hand of the dead To take as my own So sweetly, so soft I’ll gladly wait for you there ( How long till they go? ) ( How long till they go away? ) All things in time There is no making peace with this All too happy to do it
4.	IV 02:01	lyrics	buy track
( There is no other in your likeness ) ( There is no making peace with this )

about

This project is meant to be a little different from my usual style of EP, I'm kind of considering it a deviation from the main storyline. While I typically like to write characters, other people's stories, and with more regard for how the songs may sound to the listener; I couldn't really do that with this one. These are written from my own perspective about some of the darker feelings I've been experiencing during the pandemic, and as a result they are pretty personal. The song "Felidae" was initially intended for a bigger project I still have in mind, so you might see that one pop up again in the future.

This project is meant to be about futility above anything else, but I hope you're able to find meaning in it whether it be the one I intended or not.

If you connect with these songs at all I really hope they help you to feel less alone. Thank you for listening ♡🐁

All songs written, composed, recorded, and produced by J Manning (myself)

Violin accompaniment preformed by Neil Morrissey (of The Only Humans)

Special thanks to Neil, Tim, Ali, Emily, and Erin for your guidance and patience ♡ I love you so much!

This is a project made by a solo amateur hobbyist, please forgive my shitty prod skills :)
