Feeling faded Stealing secrets Carry your shadow Buried within you I can’t dig you anymore I can’t dig you anymore Take my hand and let’s die together, unholy Hold my hand and let’s die Together, unholy Pages turning Sage is burning Chasing somebody Placing the ashes I can’t dig you anymore I can’t dig you anymore Take my hand and let’s die together, unholy Hold my hand and let’s die Together, unholy I can’t dig you anymore I can’t dig you anymore I can’t dig you anymore I can’t dig you anymore

Go quiet and deep To wake from your slumber Run wild and free To let it take you under Resurrect me Call me from your tomb Let me keep myself Give me some of you One body grows Higher than the rest Drown in the wind Let me be blessed Resurrect me Call me from your tomb Let me keep myself Give me some of you It’s the death of the wish Dead in the wind Revenge of the witch Decay of the witch Resurrect me Call me from your tomb Let me keep myself Give me some of you

"Baltimore gazers Talking to Shadows are getting set to release their latest EP out to the world. The band who are Cat Van Glide (vocals), Ron Weldon (bass) Gregoire Palmer (guitar) and Alex Hughes (drums) have been together since 2018 releasing their self-titled EP in 2021. I had the good fortune to have sneak peek of this EP for a while now. I thoroughly enjoyed it; in fact, I loved it so much I featured the lead track on my last DKFM Radio show. Let me tell you why.

Opening track ‘Soma’ is a gutsy, riff driven number that feels like it’s creating an earthquake in your head as you listen. Van Glides lush vocal tone is the perfect foil to the fuzzed-out bliss Palmer creates with his guitar. The rhythm section is an absolute powerhouse sending the song soaring. What an opener.

‘Exit Wound’ takes the intensity down a few notches allowing us to hear another side to the band. The dreamlike guitar tones that lead us in to this song are quickly proven to be a feint as the hammer drops. The wall of sound engulfs us but never overwhelms the mix. Production values are top drawer and make this track shine.

The riffs return on the, now rerecorded, version of ‘Give Me Some of You’. The band channel their Smashing Pumpkins influence to great effect in the chorus. That throaty fuzz, its guttural static shroud enveloping you in its sonic embrace. What Talking to Shadows do really well is melody. Whilst, yes, they know how to play loud, underneath it all is a great song. Full of nuance and most importantly, hooks!

The EP closes out on the tour de force that is ‘Lost’. This track I find myself coming back to, time and again. It has everything. Let’s start with the drums. Hughes could so easily have played a simplistic beat behind this but instead he treats us to a master class in how to make your drum part sing. Vocally Van Glide really goes for it and those soaring notes are nailed each time with ease. Guitars and bass weave around each other in a fuzzy haze then when things quieten down, they give each other space, guitars chiming and bass sitting back. This song is the perfect way to round out a perfect EP."
