Pontiak, the Virginian trio of brothers, have reined in the noise and squall for their new album, INNOCENCE, opting instead to write songs pushing their voices to the fore. Ably showcasing this is ‘Wildfires’, a coruscating cut from the new record which we’ve got a first spin of ahead of its release on January 27 via Thrill Jockey. [Source]
It took me a minute to see
That you were not around
It took some time to adjust my eyes
SO I JUST WATCH THE GROUND
It took some time for my mind
To wrap itself around
That you were never coming back
SO I JUST HEAD AROUND
And who cares about the wildfires
Controlling my mind?
I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO
Because that’s how the world gets in there, too
If you can’t seem to find
The will to leave me half way
I guess I’ll have to take your word
And trust that you’re just that way
And who cares about those wild
Things you claim to do?
I don’t, I can’t, I won’t lie
Because ?? just for you
And who cares about the wildfires
Burning inside?
I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO
Because that’s how the world gets in there, too
