the need to be anything, to feel to breathe, to see of course, of course unrested sleep stuck with sheep, to roam alone, alone of course, of course eternity sewn into bedsheets lay with sheep

hopelessly spent perfectly content reduced to a crawl subservient mite neglected and slighted and that serves you right joke’s on who? funny you! a victim, i! so victimized! rip out my spine see what it’s like who asks twice? who asks nice! let me make this clear i’m insincere i won’t be tricked again pitiful little girl pathetic, disturbed disheartened, reserved prone to freeze when provoked how fitting the trope of deer caught in headlights subconsciously lured to be docile and controlled

lost in suspicion mangled cognition you look and— see exactly— what did? you find? i must be blind embarrassed? defined? a shame that— binds what i’d give to get through to you decay in dismay shame to see the right way you look and— see exactly— what would? you find? i must be blind by admission? defied? a shame that binds comfort in reckoning colloquy obsolete silencing, just and clean infested, obsessed at rest, at best childhood lies and fantasies again for the first time bittersweet

querida 05:18
masacre de la dignidad enloquecerse al no saber que hacer con vos, me quedo sin vos me quedo sin voz hace falta tu presencia aunque todas mis preguntas quedan sin respuestas, que lastima es que no tengo ganas de mostrar mi cara y que puta verguenza quedar sin paciencia a pesar de todo a traves de lagrimas, sigo adolescente naciente de algo vale ser sufriente

try again for some reason i’m not falling for it eat shit, the mind games get boring well now i know to put on a show try again i’ll entertain it for just a moment devoid of care and of emotion but now i know to put on a show you fucked me, you fucked me and now you’ll own me you fucked me, please love me please, please have mercy help, help, help, fuck my body is ruined your scent runs through it aching cavities penchant for agony run, run, run, fuck drugged but coping how annoying even then you’re still somehow below me i dream of you since you bled on the bedsheets you tucked remembrance in try again

about

'querida hija' translates to 'dear daughter'. It is Foxtails' first LP since 'III' (2017), and follows their 2018 split with algae bloom.

Their distinct sound has matured and been refined since 'III' . The anger and panic are more cutting and calculated and the songwriting more methodical. Megan's vocals range from soft and spectral (reminiscent of Jasmine Rodgers from bôa) to bratty, contentious and bone chilling.

Mathy and jazzy influences pervade, with as much quiet reflection as righteous fury. Some moments recall the chaos of a Nayru breakdown, while the quiet/loud dynamics on some songs would be at home on a Touch and Go / Quarterstick record from the black and white band photo days.

A gentle and mesmerizing lullaby opens; a soft and poignant stepping stone from the anguished end of 'III' . The addition of an antique chord organ as well as saxophone on a handful of tracks pushes the sound even further from centre. Things pick up at a measured pace and bursts of dissonance arc out from deceptively smooth jazzy sections.

From the softest murmur to the highest shriek, the trio's unity as a band is undeniable.
