“HOWLITE serve haunting indie brilliance with new single “REDUCER” from their forthcoming EP NOT HERE”
Already known for their meticulous development of ethereal indie-pop sounds, built on dark and brooding musical foundations, Melbourne trio Howlite have returned with a dive into a glossy atmospheric soundscape - their brand new single, ‘Reducer’. The first taste of their forthcoming EP Not Here, the song is the beginning of a new chapter for the band.
lyrics
Listen for your presence, pull me closer - ear to chest
Inside all your insides, feel the pace slow, feel the rest
Heartbeat is a rhythm, like a drum keeps time's division
Into fragments I can manage, there's a comfort in your sound
Reducer, I keep you closer
Safety blanket, I breathe you in
Reducer, I'm under cover
Make me feel better, under your skin
Sage smudge through the hallways, old pianos pluck their keys
Breathe through our vibrations, lungs awaken, sing to me
Reducer, I keep you closer
Safety blanket, I breathe you in
Reducer, I'm under cover
Make me feel better, under your skin
How deep is your sadness?
How deep is the sea?
When my sea is the sadness, will you swim with me?
Reducer, I keep you closer
Safety blanket, I breathe you in
Reducer, I'm under cover
Make me feel better, under your skin
