about
Following a near half-decade hiatus, Bo Gritz are back, bulked up with a sound maturer, slicker and more powerful than ever with single ‘Observes and Selects’.
Chugging out noise with equal portions of captivation and fear and harbouring a deep-rooted love for sonic carnage and aural disruption, the three-piece emerge from hibernation at their most industrial extremes.
Speaking about the track, Guitarist/Vocalist Finn Holland explains: "The lyrics for the song emerged by using cut-up technique. I collected a large bank of words and sentences, collected from many different sources which were then butchered up. Gossip magazines, articles on a murder, manuals from a washing machine were merged and then used to form the lyrics for the song. ‘Observes and Selects’ (in my view) became something depicting a place confusing and claustrophobic. It’s a short, sharp reintroduction to Bo Gritz, and a taster of things to come.”
lyrics
Finding out, near I sit
Like a search mixed review
Ungone, our one led
On a turn, where’s my step
Corrosive burns around the lips
The first segment wrapped, dragged out instead
Falling on all objects in the room
Late delivery, glared with the mouth
Handled and unknown
Don’t be there, calling out the view
Take what sells, made with a lack
Yet I slipped, more appealing
The day that went wrong, falling down
Life to be chosen
Carefully understood
Glared with the mouth
As her possession
Glad I won’t be there
Made with a lack
Quiet marker
Don’t be there
Hollow Selection
Calling out the view
And I word
No event at all
It is coming back
Twice as bad
A life as good is asking to be permanent
Simply with yours something started
Value not in front
Way of escaping
Around and it’s falling back filled with water
Speak of my erasing using sight
Was that weight feeling lighter?
Image etched with shortness of breath
Observes and selects
Observes and selects
Observes and selects
