I loved Bonnie Prince Billy's I See A Darkness... what can I expect from Superwolf? What mood is it?

Seriously.. I don't know how to answer that.

It's very nice. Heh! Song structures are a bit more, I don't know.. eccentric maybe.. but as with the subject matter it varies from song to song, so you can't really say something a few words long to generalise and say, this is the record.. 'morbid' or 'playful' or 'warm' doesn't really cut it. I can't anyway.

The guitars are 'different' (in some cases, very different). And they both sing on some of the songs actually, which makes for a very.. new sound. But there are others again that sound like.. well, like I See A Darkness, or hm.. Master and Everyone is probably more accurate. Er.. so instead of trying to answer your question I'll type out the tracklisting ..

My Home is the Sea
Beast for Thee
What are You?
Goat and Ram
Lift us Up
Rudy Foolish
Bed is for Sleeping
Only Someone Running
Death in the Sea
Blood Embrace
Gave You

Oh.. one thing. The eight minutes long song .. is insanely good. Insane.

Eight minutes must be a first for this guy aswell, no? Anyone?

A couple of songs seems somehow to be influenced by Anomoanon aswell. Very strange.
