about

The cure for the pain is in the pain,’ snarled through gritted teeth is the anchoring statement for I AM NOT A CASUALTY, the third single from Maelstrom and Louisahhh’s forthcoming debut LP, ‘Sustained Resistance’.

Dealing with the realities of inter-pandemic depression and anxiety while triumphantly refusing to succumb to the sinking sensation, this bodyslam of a track pulls taut the line between ferocious hope and guttering disillusionment. Maelstrom’s whiplash drum breaks and machines that sound like the ground falling out from underneath find a counterpoint with Louisahhh’s lucid prose, the song rising like a storm and going out as gently as a tide.

‘What meaning will I make of this?/Graceful under the weight of it,’ is a question as much as a prayer that closes the song, as ‘I AM NOT A CASUALTY’ is a determined, fierce promise or mantra for anyone who might be struggling in these challenging times.

lyrics

Sky is like an inky bruise

Mind is an oil slick

I thought i couldn’t be the source

So I’d settle for osmosis

I am not a casualty

I am not a victim

Show me what i cannot see

Show me again and again The cure for the pain is in the pain

Not enough air/ To go round

The/ fear (is) waiting outside the door

I feel like a hole

That will never be full//

Eyes like saucers, satellites

Trying to shake up a signal

Even my smile still feels bruised

But that don’t mean that it’s futile//

What meaning will i make of this?

Graceful under the weight of it
