Thick Thighs 04:06
Oh my body's a vessel for living not an object to serve your desires. Doesn't tell you a damn thing about me still you needlessly scrutinise. Oh my body's a vessel for living and I'll do with it what I decide. Be it bare my thick thighs or walk home late at night I'm not asking for men to abuse it. Why do you insist to dismiss when you tell me you're such a liberal man? How can you disregard patterns of patriarchy holding the world in your hands? Meritocracy's the perfect scam. Oh my daddy won't give me away cause I'm not something he ever owned. Where is the place for white at a wedding? How's my innocence linked to his honour? Why do you insist to dismiss when you tell me you're such a liberal man? How can you disregard patterns of patriarchy holding the world in your hands? Why do you insist to dismiss when you tell me you're such a liberal man? How can you disregard patterns of patriarchy holding the world in your hands? Meritocracy's the perfect scam.

Round the corner, down by your street I swore I'd never return here, nor miss a beat. What a picture and what a joke when you approach me my head's not so resolute. If you wanna (you wanna) ride next to me show your baby (show me) consistency. If you wanna (you wanna) lie next to me kill your avoidant/dismissive tendencies. But if you want some time it's the last thing on my mind. I won't grant you much patience here when you pick me up, you put me down, you pick me up, you put me down. You know I'm rational and I'll survive. I've got them lined up and I won't lie down and cry. If you wanna (you wanna) lie next to me show your baby (show me) consistency. But if you want some time it's the last thing on my mind. I won't grant you much patience here when you pick me up, you put me down, you pick me up, you put me down.

It's hard to note that I see you in my sleep and all I feel is a discontentment when I wake here. Oh how I wanna be near, how I covet your secret smile you withhold for those who've piqued it your interest, I'll keep it. I was happy 'til I met you but something has shifted I was headed down the long road now things aren't so written. You marched right into the foreground the others deficient I was happy 'til I met you now I'm confused. With best intentions I stifle my feelings and quell our interactions to small talk without meaning. Oh how I wanna speak plan, how I covet your secret smile you withhold for those who've piqued it your interest, I'll keep it. I was happy 'til I met you but something has shifted I was headed down the long road now things aren't so written. You marched right into the foreground the others deficient I was happy 'til I met you now I'm confused.

Huntingdale 03:13
Deep in the gardens we see things we dare not speak of. In the crisp and silver mornings we make homes for them to live in. With our bellies full with breakfast and our minds alive with questions we ride through the archways plagued with flowers past the hum of honeycomb towers. Do you remember the times when we were young, wild and fine? We had no answers we didn't need them. We found cloths in the yard and chanted words in the dark to show our glory.

In the night while the wolves sleep I felt it standing in the doorway watching me and I thought about the Wolands and Behemoths wanting to stay with me, enact my darkest dreams. They must've heard via my thoughts or something that I'm never feeling right when I can't see where I'm going. Well the night is at my door now, laughing where I lay it's coming, it's coming, it's coming, coming to take me. In the night while the wolves sleep I felt it standing in the doorway watching me and I'd like to walk slow with patience but the, the urge to make a dash picks up my feet real fast. I must've learnt from my mum or something that a room without a light sends the creatures running. Well the night is at my door now, laughing where I lay it's coming, it's coming, it's coming, coming to take me.

about

Bayou Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne band Bayou weave together cascading guitar lines, noirish vocals, eerie female harmonies and propulsive drumming to create a sound that's haunting, hypnotic and dirty all at the same time – a fuzzed-out missive from some enticing underworld.
