about

The B-side to this stunning single is FORBIDDEN LOVE: a collaboration with prolific artist, AIDAN BAKER (NADJA, INFINITE LIGHT LTD).

The track juxtaposes Alicia's harsh distorted guitars, with an ethereal flute drone courtesy of Baker. This unassuming contrast of polar opposites has visceral consequences.

Alicia's signature vocals sit on top, telling a story of a dark love affair, while Baker's vocal sits below - reduced to an ambient mantra. The result: a 'Gregorian Chant' for fans of acid drenched drone, a 'Post, Post-rock' love song of epic proportions, a lyrical journey of exploration in to the philosophical depravities of The Marquis de Sade, and finally a mere taste of what's to come on the BIRDS OF PASSAGE forthcoming solo Lp, WINTER LADY.

lyrics

and as i slept he sketched me
and drew blood
and as he drew he sang
a forbidden love

and i rose to rekindle the flame
but his star in me
burnt to a cinder
of shame
