Devotion 06:21
Stride after stride Just as mine Further from you Just as a tomb Stride after stride Just as mine Further from you Like wise a womb Empty void in the sky It comes in waves at night Where were your arms outstretched Weren't you supposed to catch Voices muted lungs press Inconsequential empty breath Hope to find some source of depth In the darkness nothing coalesced It comes in waves Chest pulsate In a new kind of solitude I lay Where was god When you needed him the most Where was god Why'd he call you back to your post

Refrain 02:43
Arbitrary lines The sum of life Shrinks with time A second death denied But I fear the ink in this pen will never dry And I'll write the same poetry Some letters you'll never read To no reprieve And I'll check the calendar days Remember the words you'd say I hope you believe Delft blue and picture frames Outlines are all that remains And a space on the cabinet With the Dalecarlian And in a faux refrain No resolution to gain And when I lie awake Attempting to relay I will always remember Those last few ounces of pressure Now I'm alone And you're just five pounds of carbon A vacant hospital room to pack They'll need this bed cleared when I get back

Horizon Line 02:52
As the gaze shifts inward Tracing another course Somehow always keeping step with Gathering storms And always running due north Searching through all the tapestries And the compositions for faux reprieve Another blank face I am nothing more than just sweet rain And the page I'll make the whole world an enemy Over a self inflicted elegy Shy away just sweet rain over extend Storied cut to short in a script I can't end I am nothing Just sweet rain And the page I am nothing And now the gaze shifts inward Ammonia patterned glass Covered in sun-kissed cracks And all this will come to pass I'll turn around I'm coming back Hang on I'm gone My fault I'll drone on Hang on I'm gone I-80 not long

A Capsule In The Sediment

about

"Artificial Bouquet" is an eleven song album by Frail Body. Produced, engineered, and recorded by Pete Grossmann at Bricktop Recording, and mastered by Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden (Deafheaven, Joyce Manor, Loma Prieta).

Opening track "Scaffolding" explodes out of the gate with dizzying speed before descending into a wash of discordant melody. "Berth" and "Critique Programme" then inject pulse-pounding tempo shifts and unorthodox heavy riffing into the fray. "Devotion" plays as a stunning ebb and flow epic that shows method to their musical chaos. "Monolith" and "Refrain" then blur the lines between post-hardcore and melodic black metal in their frantic approach. These lead to "No Resolution" and "Runaway"; two slow build numbers that showcase the otherworldly dynamics Frail Body possess. "Horizon Line" follows this path as it builds to bone-shaking crescendo. Lastly "Another Year Removed" serves as an instrumental bridge to closer "A Capsule In The Sediment". A song that empties the emotional tank for all to bear witness. All of it so raw and beautifully out of control.

Without question, "Artificial Bouquet" establishes Frail Body as leaders within the modern "screamo" movement. A shining example that the once dormant sub-genre continues to evolve and thrive for all the world to see.
