Caulbearers es una banda que en 2021 llegara a nuestra audiencia con una diversidad creativa tal que reflejaran en temas como Burst Through The Borders, su vídeo oficial, la auto reversión a Solid Supposed y su versión original, integrada en su núcleo por Damien Mahoney, el guitarrista Anton Hunter (Beats and Pieces Big Band, Article XI), el chelista Stefan Skrimshire, y el baterista Phil Bennett, sumando la colaboración frecuente de Ruth Blake (I Am, Brave Ships), y que ahora se ve enriquecida con la llegada de la violinista Olivia Moore (Jason Singh, Stuart McCallum, Suns of Arqa), el pianista John Ellis (The Cinematic Orchestra, Stone Roses’ John Squire, Corinne Bailey Rae, Tom Jones, Lily Allen), y el bajista Alex Berry (The Earlies, King Creosote, Daniel Johnston, Thea Gilmore, Micah P Hinson) para entregarnos un nuevo sencillo que estará disponible a partir del 25 de Febrero en plataformas como Apple Music, Spotify, en preventa vía Bandcamp, acompañado por Synching (Bubbling Spring Remix) y la ilustración a cargo del artista plástico Ben Taylor.

Twisted Cord es la razón de aquellos avatares que tomamos, o nos toman, imbuyendo espíritus y características incógnitas a nuestra naturaleza y conocimiento de forma consciente, de manera tal que nuestros alcances y percepciones van alcanzando niveles que, desde la perspectiva solitaria del creador, marcan una trayectoria diferente al destino que nos parecía tan inminente como estable, revisitando lugares y espacios que pudieron ser tan familiares, hoy tan distantes, que nos presentan siempre una nueva cuestión que dirige a la auto realización.

The songs are rarely stories specifically, but more like moods, deep emotional states or parallel worlds that we enter into, where scenarios, perspectives and protagonists can shift and morph with a dream-like quality.
Las canciones rara vez son historias en específico, sino más bien estados de ánimo, estados emocionales profundos, o mundos paralelos en los que entramos, donde los escenarios, las perspectivas, y los protagonistas, pueden cambiar y transformarse con una calidad de ensueño.

Caulbearers, Twisted Cord…

Never been here, but so much of this feels known
All the patterns, I’ve seen them before with eyes closed
I only watched them for a minute
Came home, and a year had gone
Did you suffer, the same as we did
When you saw the twisted cord

Hovering over a difficult vision below
Dive into chaos or climb ever higher alone

When I’m wearing my mystical cloaking device
I love the freedom, but I’m still alone, excised
‘Cause when I write words, no one reads them
When I talk, no one replies
Checked the mirror for my reflection
Still there, wondered if I’d died
Still there, wondered if I’d died

Hovering over a difficult vision below
Dive into chaos or climb ever higher alone
Hovering over a difficult vision below
Dive into chaos or climb ever higher alone

Feels like I’m dissolving but the world is taking shape
The picture says I’m wounded, but I’m dancing in a fevered state
Feels like I’m dissolving but the vision’s getting clear
The painting shows my wounds, but I rise with every spear
Feels like I’m dissolving and the light is pouring in
The painting shows I’m wounded but I’ve only shed my skin
Feels like I’m dissolving and the dissonant takes shape
The picture says I’m wounded, but I’m dancing in a fevered state

Feels like I’m dissolving but the vision’s getting clear
The painting shows my wounds, but I rise with every spear
Feels like I’m dissolving and the light is pouring in
The painting shows I’m wounded but I’ve only shed my skin
