The words “personal” and “dark” have been referenced in Paralytic’s promotional lead-up, but without a lyric sheet, it’s nearly impossible to tell that Barnes is singing about anything, save for the surprisingly straightforward “Malefic Dowery”, which goes back to the the subject of infidelity. I don’t doubt that this is a personal album for Barnes, but on Hissing Fauna, that was obvious— all you had to do was listen. Here, we’re left sorting through lyrics like, “True love never mattered/ The two donkey jaws that were removed from our hearing.

Kanine: I remember the first year Chairlift played they were bummed as hardly anyone came to see them. But the next year they got a ton of buzz from getting an iPod commercial [and] everyone was dying to see them. The press people all seem to like to talk about the same 10 bands instead of championing new bands on their own. Unfortunately 90% of the press just works that way.
This sorta made me want to puke.
