about

Two other standout tracks perhaps lie at the heart of Unravelling: namely the noir soul of Stumbling and the creepy psych-pop of the hypnotic title track. “Unravelling and Stumbling are for me perhaps the key songs of the album,” says Nick. “Fear of nights, fear at night, anxiety and the feeling of everything falling apart when forced onto one’s own resources. General disintegration when normal patterns are taken away. There’s an image in Unravelling of a spider climbing up a disused train in the desert, in the bleakest of desolate landscapes. I really identified with that spider…”

lyrics

I can feel the pain of the spider climbing up the train
I am watching the ivy blow against the window in the rain
I have been sleeping today my life is seeping away
I don't know what is happening
I am unraveling
The sider is terrified in the parallel lines
The shadows of the circle all around serve to remind him
He spends his time travelling up and down
He is unravelling
The wind is haunting as it howls its messages to me
I am standing in the daunting shade of the sycamore tree
I have long since ceased to grieve
So many leaves I can't breathe
I live in a labyrinth
Everything's unravelling
Unravelling
Out in the wilderness so cold
Time isn't on your side you are told
The train has broken down and the carriages are bare
The words for what I found come from long ago
No one wants to know what's there
It's all unravelling
Unravelling

Channel D London, UK

Channel D is writer-singer, visual artist and film-maker Nick de Grunwald, whose debut 2013 album Mosaic Of Disarray was described by Q magazine as offering “worldly lyrics, no little panache and a gritty edge” and by Uncut as “dark baritone story-telling”. Unravelling is a giant step forwards, being less a collection of songs and more a cohesive album-length statement. ... more
