_

if i open a song with a one-and-a-half-minute ambient passage and then go straight into noisegrind, it's normal to me. that's how things happen in the world sometimes. -Fire Toolz

about the art of writing:

The only thing that really matters, it seems to me, is saying the thing that has to be said. If it really has to be said, it will create its own form.

-Paul Auster, april 1 1988.

Lovesong

‘Lovesong’ was, indeed, a straight up love song Smith had written to his wife, Mary Poole. The pair had been married in August 1988, and the song acted as a wedding gift. "I couldn’t think of what to give her," Smith would later (half) joke about a song that sounded at odds with the rest of Disintegration. "It’s taken me ten years to get to the point where I felt comfortable singing a straightforward love song. If that song wasn’t on the record, it would be very easy to dismiss the album as having a certain mood."

music in motion

"There are few pleasures in my life that can compare with listening to a piece of music loud while I’m in motion. It’s pure bliss, euphoria. All of my problems fall away, and I momentarily feel centered, confident, excited about the future, and grateful for the good parts of my past. In recent years, my desire to share this overwhelming experience has spilled over to social media. ... When I now look at the images I snapped and the notes on what I was hearing when I saw them I can transport myself back to that instant and feel a tingle, a faint suggestion of time travel, the specific memories and feelings embedded in that glance still faintly accessible."

-Mark Richardson, Pitchfork, 2020.
