Listen to the waves as they crash above me
must I wait forever dazed and dying
take me away before I wake and realize
nothing is real
no one is mine
and i've lost my fire.
to risk your life
you wanted this, right?
you know there's nothing else
don't you?
only voice i have left to rule with pride
and I trust the moon the tide
be on my side
and i'll hold-hold on
to let go would be to lose my worth
to know that no one can ever bring me down
you've got me singing
all night and day
with your heart in hand
we'll go far
so far

Low-key but huge, blisters floats in a strange balance between tender confessional and sweeping gospel epic, the lyrics enigmatic but deeply personal. Through some truly creative soundscapes, serpent's voice is, as always, close and central, giving this album the vibe of a private moment of rumination on love and self. Tom Colquhoun
honestly i love this album because, i love the sadness it portrays. i love the vocals, the acoustics, the electronic, experimental notes. eartheater really knew what to do with this album. vvinni
What an amazing and strange album! I remember the first time I heard of Josiah's work was a FADER article on Twitter about his debut EP. An EP which I liked but this album I love. Especially the track "cherubim". It's the most intense and moving track on here. It makes me want to move and dance as wildly as Josiah and his lover did in the music video for it. I can't wait to see what Josiah does in the future. John
