and the frames will freeze
see me on all fours—
—it's been a long time.
Another late night, though this time not out wandering the streets of Melbourne. 'Inertia Creeps' is one of the singles off my favourite album ever, Mezzanine by Massive Attack. I recall a review of it describing it not as dark, but light-absorbing, and I think that's just perfect. Tense, volatile, and moody - the band went through some serious internal conflict (which, if you're interested, you can read about here) throughout the making of this album, and it's reflected in the feel of the album. It's the sort of record you need to listen to with good headphones - with heavy bass, of course - in a darkened room, at two in the morning to really get into. Do yourself a favour: acquire a copy and follow my instructions. Maybe go for a walk in the evening and plug yourself into it. Lose yourself. You will not regret this.
