about
"Xotgun" is a dreamy synth-driven wake-up call to civil unrest and the second single from Death Before Mourning, the debut solo LP from Lady Midnight due out this spring.
lyrics
You’ve watched it all before,
Illuminated big screens
A temperament for war,
A shotgun in the backseat
Who do you fight for?
Time to choose your home team
All things fall apart, broken from the start
Can’t nobody save you
Anyday, this could be anyday
Anyday, this could be us
Be us, be us
Someone’s shouting love,
Support the resistance
The good boys wanna fight,
Can’t forget tradition
Whose body matters here?
Land of no protection
Cowards clutch to fear,
Heroes nowhere near,
And can’t nobody save you
Anyday, this could be anyday
Anyday, this could be us
Be us, be us
Anyday, this could be anyday
Anyday, this could be us
Be us, be us
(Fight)

Lady Midnight is an experience. She is an ethereal vocalist and performance artist who draws upon her multidisciplinary background in visual art, dance and Afro-caribbean-indigenous roots to create work that timelessly reflects our collective lives.
These laptop experiments from Ian Mugerwa are beautifully minimal, with notes as tiny as pinpricks rippling across empty air. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 12, 2019
