You stand before me,
crying
And I wanna eat your tears
Eat, not drink
your salty tears
like drops of chocolate,
greaves of pork
or refried beans
Your salty tears
There's truth to be found
in your sadness
That's why I make you cry
salty tears
Your salty...
They're like
drops of chocolate,
greaves of pork
and what's in your pants
to me
Can't you see
I need your salty tears?

Imbued with the kind of subtlety which implies the epic without succumbing to indulgent sprawl; music of obvious extreme technical mastery that still feels raw and immediate and homespun. I've not fallen so instantly in love with a record of guitar music of any stripe for years. Just pure magic. Jack Francis
