Lay in the river calling waves Start out A fruit to bring back home See to that my tragedy's erased Part fallen And half drowned To pray Heaven put my little bones away Away

Speaking 06:16
They could lie and lie awake, oh reaching one Feelers in there multiply what still She would wrap her arms around in settled be unstuck Start the rapture and the flood Cure, say, soften Too late, too haunted. Prey of night and nights awake, oh speaking one Palm a fist and grasp into your world She could have the warmth of it of honey into cuts Stall the rasp of talking back Backward they talk in Backmask sleepwalker

& Moving 02:57
Take from what I talk with lately Take from have to breathing out Safe from cover darkness surface Make me all but into dust My body My body My body My body out there Left it rotting in cambric dresses Left me falling into what Felt a buzz a camera softens but There are things it won't pick up My body My body My body My body out there There but Oh do we oh do we oh do we oh do we Arrange a place for us? Wallpaper Moving and moving and moving and moving And snakes are wires tangled up I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm not There but Oh do we oh do we oh do we oh do we Arrange a place for us? Wallpaper Moving and moving and moving and moving And snakes are wires tangled up

Hornets 04:31
Mine is whats left for those convalescent steps fork away Feeding the last of the minutes haunting hours decay Fine marks cost in letters off inside Of the five you lost will lead you in tonight Do what you will Convex and razor choking Hornets pieces crippling divide Jaw lost of cackle the rhythm of a scaffolding neck Fallen the riches, a pigment, a rattling crept Dye marks soft and featureless reside And the five you lost are sleeping out of sight Do what you will Convex and razor choking Hornets pieces crippling divide

Chitin 04:27
Say I'm holding on What you have become I feel a motion from the corner of the room All your phantom limbs have ossified May this ghost inside your head relay the context when All your chitin go to waste Do these shackles break your brittle skin? I am wont for this incision All the time I have deflect into your silhouette Fearing what you have become Cold is the broken wing swept with blemishes I found Intact disc hasn't broken what's inside Torn from the base of the spine where track marks are spitting back There finds the angel rim in a casque of astrocyte My hands turn black as the column of ash you were left in Gone with the slits in your eyes as they match you to them All the time I have deflect into your silhouette Fearing what you have become Call would you let me Call would you let me in? Say I'm holding on What you have become

What Sun 04:05
Made of readings, backlight, and brighter in the right note Wide eyed, sometimes upright, spinal in a tightrope Shade of seeing beings and people that you cry for Gave up birthright, I might cut around the sight part What sun incur I? What sun incur I? I Take these bleeding messes, siphoning the life out What needs doing, serving, or something unpolite for Lay the curtain, starlight cauterize the eyesore Gave up birthright, I might cut around the sight part What sun incur I? What sun incur I? I

Carnal steps I'm leaking Of autumn days and evenings Find this price I'm given Frightless and frightness reaching up Surface of tower missing In calls a fonder wishing Swarms of hissing after Coming in faster fast enough My head Why tear These bones out My head That stare These clothes off Carnal steps I'm itching Dead marks the latter feeling Artificial reason Are you messing up enough Bisect the pleasure region Collection unforgiven Iris and clutch entangle If only way too, way too long My head Why tear These bones out My head That stare These clothes off

about

Ellė Sellers graces Monastery Rec. with her 2nd official release with the label in 'SHIFTSHAPER'. To say this release is a sonic departure from her previous double single entry 'Apparition / Days We Left Behind', would be an extreme understatement. With each release Sellers manages to redefine and immerse herself in a new world, soaks it in, and then shares it with us. Inspired by 'Dungeon Synth' aesthetic, 'SHIFTSHAPER' is a journey that will truly take you somewhere else. No matter how frightening it can get, Ellė's unmistakable intimate vocal stylings will guide you softly across this unfamiliar plane safely.
