lyrics
Sometimes I feel like a motherless chile. Sometimes I feel like a motherless chile. Sometimes I feel like a motherless chile. A long ways from home. A long ways from home. (Text from Negro Spirituals by Harry T. Burleigh, 1917) The pain in this song is not entirely familiar to me, as a white person who has benefited from the effects of slavery, segregation and racism more than suffering from them. Constant atonal sonorities give me a taste of what it might be like to feel abandoned, rejected, or unloved. Their downward motion is perhaps a form of oppression. Strains of the melody, often only two or three notes, cry the tune against this texture, ultimately subsumed by it.
London-based trio Damos Room and soundsystem artist LYAM come together for an irreverent EP offering a glitchy take on ambient techno. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 8, 2023
