Material

Hello out there! It’s been a while. There is so much lyrics meta still to be written, so many conspiracy facts to be documented and shared. There is a whole series to be written on the album Material, and what I think it is: an apology. The unthinkable. Proud, angry Davey, who in 2013 described mercy as something he was too weak to find. Who we thought would never yield–whose righteous anger eclipsed every happy ending. Two and a half years ago, Burials came out and I thought, these poisoned hearts will never change. Javey is suffering, Javey is pain.

And then Davey softened. Davey apologized. Davey went home.

Interviews lately have been about happiness, the pleasure and joy of working together over 20 long years. Then there’s the Anointed video, which is the first in my memory of a long string videos about murder girls wherein the Javeys end up together at the end, on the same side of things, instead of dead. There is not a great online resource for the Material lyrics yet, so we are working on getting those up, so you can read the rapturous, religious, ridiculously sensual words yourself, and begin to percolate on your own conclusions.

We, your intrepid and delinquent blog runners, saw Blaqk Audio perform last night at the Bluebird Theater in Denver.
