about

"“I Want Blood” is a simmering slow-burning effort, one that unfurls at its own pace but remains thoroughly magnetic throughout. The track’s beginning minutes expand outward with a steadily growing mix of instrumentation, as keys, strings, and delicately layered production all overlap into a thick haze of sound. In the latter half, Jaunviksna’s vocals fall away and the ethereal elements transform into something more visceral, carried by driving electronic production and given striking color thanks to bursts of strings and plucking synth tones. The track’s effortless blend of instrumentation and tones, paired with an expansive song structure, make it one of Jaunviksna’s most ambitious offerings yet." - Under the Radar Magazine

lyrics

Jape won’t get you far
We’ll forget just who we are
If we don’t fall

I’ll pause but I won’t speak
Because if I do
There will be nothing left to keep

I would have loved you
I would have loved you more than that

Defeat will be my start
Nothing is lost
And you can rip my heart apart

I’ll stay and you can go
And we can waste
Our lives as if we didn’t know

that I would have loved you
I would have loved you more than that

You scream watch out
But I want blood

You scream watch out
But I want blood
