Lyrics
struck too high, Ma Bell bleeds
from the melt to the die
from the die to the deep
Elsie Moll–oh, where are you?
show your feathers on the floor of the wavy blue
there I go looking away, looky-loo
when I wade in a fountain over you thirteen ways of looking mercurially blue when I gaze at a mountain out of view
going blind going through you
I go walking in the wild
I go walking in a room
purpled mind, hold on in lieu
of a fortune evermore in the wavy blue
there I go looking away, looky-loo
when I wade in a fountain over you thirteen ways of looking mercurially blue when I gaze at a mountain out of view

That Joel Thibodeau’s slender, winsome voice is at once so comforting and so unsettling might be the greatest of his many strengths. Like Nico’s or Phil Elverum’s, Joel’s is a voice that demands its own sonic and lyrical world, and with Island Intervals, his third record as Death Vessel, we’re treated to the sound of him finding a rich and strange new home among new friends in Iceland.
