Blood Red Shoes
Start To End
A really massive bass and fuzzy guitars immerse a throbbing beat for the intro of ‘Start To End’ and this is the bedrock for the track, gaining intensity throughout but cycling hypnotically.
When you have a superb scuzzed up soundbad for a song, a strong whispery vocal cuts right through, injecting ‘I would stay / But my head’s not straight’ directly into your veins where it will return to your conciousness every time is seeps into the big organ in your chest.
With more sway in the beat, ‘Get Back Into Myself’ has more traditional dynamics. The intensity rushes in like a wave, then falls away back into the ocean, giving the song a spacious verse and more intense chorus.
The longevity of Blood Red Shoes is in some part related to how they continue to give an edge to their sound. Whether it’s all out fuzz, or warm and jangly, whether it’s a whispered cool or melodic warm. This double a-side gives you both.

Start To End Lyrics
Headlights on my face, I’m too blinded to trace
A line from start to end, something I can’t comprehendI would stay
But my head’s not straight
I would stay
But my head’s not straightEverything I have in the bag on my back
And all these passing sounds knock my feet right off the groundI would stay
But my head’s not straight
I would stay
But my head’s not straightFlashes in the sky, don’t know how to say goodbye
The past is laid to rest, buried deep, it’s for the bestAnd I would stay
But my head’s not straight
I would stay
But my head’s not straightAnd I would stay
But my head’s not straight
I would stay
But my head’s not straight
