lyrics
Madagascan sunset moth
Says 'come to bed my darling'
And be one half of this
Hybrid fantasy oh my glossy starling
That will not try to eat me
But indulge in what I say
For a Madagascan sunset moth
Is what I'd like to stay
At least, at least, at least for one more hour
At least for maybe one more hour or two
And maybe if there’s true romantic power
Then I might get to spend the week with you
Madagascan sunset moth
Says the iridescence of my frame
Tells you I’m dangerously toxic starling
And We’d both die in pain
Should you ever choose to eat me
And from instinct not refrain
This is not your average love song
But if you need someone to blame
Says 'come to bed my darling'
And be one half of this
Hybrid fantasy oh my glossy starling
That will not try to eat me
But indulge in what I say
For a Madagascan sunset moth
Is what I'd like to stay
At least, at least, at least for one more hour
At least for maybe one more hour or two
And maybe if there’s true romantic power
Then I might get to spend the week with you
Madagascan sunset moth
Says the iridescence of my frame
Tells you I’m dangerously toxic starling
And We’d both die in pain
Should you ever choose to eat me
And from instinct not refrain
This is not your average love song
But if you need someone to blame

Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust

Like audio hot chocolate for the spirit. It combines a comforting nostalgia yet quite like nothing else that preceded it. The vocal and rhythmic signature changes result in something timeless.

As if breaking into an emporium, while exploring the innocence of a child like wonder with a macabre sonic under belly. It marries joy and sorrow in sparkling unity.
