Grief Mop "I Want to Pull the Sleep From Your Eyes"

About this item

• Description • Pressing Info • • As evocative as the album title “I Want to Pull the Sleep From Your Eyes” is, Grief Mop stretch its imagery even further across their debut nine-track LP. The opener, “I Prefer to Be Nobody”, sets the tone with the line, “…and dreamt you were showing me your face covered up with bleach,” a lyric that plays out like a Lynchian film still. On the lead single, Strange World, Lacy sustains this eerie songwriting, screaming “rolling over in the dirt…it may best to just lie” as the track reaches its peak. Each song has its picture-painted moment, layered in abrasive drum-and-bass tones and dissolving guitar melodies. Grief Mop pull from a wide range of influences from emo, post-rock, and shoegaze bands like Mock Orange, Hum, The Appleseed Cast, and My Bloody Valentine to create this off-kilter, yet focused debut album.
