Panic from Unravelling by Channel D
On the far extreme of the emotional scale is Panic, an anxiety attack in song form, with its heart-racingly suffocating arrangement of pulsing tom-toms and spiralling guitars a la Grinderman. In it de Grunwald tells a tale of a nightmarish train journey experienced while in the grip of panic and terror: “Can’t find my breath/Nothing but death”.

Lyrics
Get on the train
Going God knows where
Trying to stay alive
Till I get there
Can't find my breath
Nothing but death
Can't find my breath
Panic
I'm on this train
Certain to die
People in pain all around me
I can't see their eyes
They nothing of me
They can't see I can't breathe
Panic
My life is erased
There can be no turning back
How to escape
Without throwing
My head on the track
Panic
More people roll on
Can I survive
Can I hold on
Till we arrive
Nothing but death
Can't find my breath
Can't find my breath

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.
