I gasp and kick towards the faintest glow, dread in tow
Evade the current dragging down to deep, blood- red reef
Yes, there be monsters under wave and tide, caves to hide
A burial at sea, flee the crime scene, none must see
Ascend from hell below me
Must reach another story
Blood in the water draws the meanest dregs from the depths
To shallow pools to seize the slow, the tail of the School
Beset by creatures led by bestial wild appetites
Ascend from hell below me
Must reach another story
The breaking wave remade, the pattern yet stays the same
The shoal has scattered leaving none to see, just the sea
A landless mass of neither night or day, vast and grey
Ascend from hell below me
Must reach another story

This is a quite outstanding opus magnus of Mr Thelen and his associate musicians. Musical and muscular prowess meet groove and melody. Highly recommended hypnotic stuff! Frank Hadlich
With their blend of playfulness and graduate-level instrumentation, Dorcha deftly prove that improvisational zeal and conservatory-level precision aren't mutually exclusive. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 16, 2020
