Along the shores we live Gods and goddesses of night Beyond the walls they build We were born to swing far and wide Even if our ribs may crack and give The flames still bite our eyes Take back the fire our night begins With the doors shut tight, I'll dance with you And there's no light, I'll dance with you We will not hide tonight, We will not hide tonight The stars will be our friends, the night will never end We will not hide tonight Why do they love the sun? It's hard to understand their choice We only feel it burn The dawn and dusk and stars destroy When the starlight shines, I'll dance with you In the pale moonlight, I'll dance with you We will not hide tonight, We will not hide tonight The stars will be our friends, the night will never end We will not hide tonight

Stardust 04:55
Love and death awaken now Love and death awaken now Aching, I'm waiting Feeling obscene Waking, I'm breaking Causing a scene Love and death awaken now Love and death awaken now Stealing, revealing our next sacrifice Tearing hearts open we're feasting tonight Make it rain stardust, let it unite us Make it rain glitter, make it rain blood Make it rain all night, make it rain love Make it rain stardust, let it unite us Make it rain blacklight, make it rain doom Make it rain beats like boom boom boom Love and death awaken now Love and death awaken now Shaking, breathtaking desires unleash Painstaking, craving my final release Hazel crescent onyx twine Chalice ribbons furies wine Poppies silver willow smoke Madness sleep garlands rope Crystals wax rowan leather Thistles garters sprites feathers Make it rain stardust, let it unite us Make it rain glitter, make it rain blood Make it rain all night, make it rain love Make it rain stardust, let it unite us Make it rain blacklight, make it rain doom Make it rain beats like boom boom boom

Darkborn 03:57
Now we are born, out of the dark Now we are one, bearing the mark Open your eyes, there comes a light Burn up the skies, shadows ignite Witches get up, it's time to play We gotta dance, glow in the dark, it's time to rage! Now we are born, out of the dark Now we are one, bearing the mark Now we are born, out of the dark Now we are one, bearing the mark We will not age, time is a trap We go where we want, rip up the map Witches get up, throw on shrouds Gather around, glitter and blood, burn it all down Now we are born, out of the dark Now we are one, bearing the mark Now we are born, out of the dark Now we are one, bearing the mark

Hold me, I'll hold you Is it the cold of your hands crawling over mine Feels like I'm caught in the maze of your mad design Could it be all the ways you shiver, rolling down my spine Always lovely hearing your voice, in the dead twilight Hold me, I'll hold you Kill me, I'll kill you Slay me, I'll slay For the last time How do I bury you? How do I bury you? There's no escape from your world of insanity Am I awake or drowning in my memories? Everything you are controls me, why do I love this cage? No one keeps me torn up like you, I want you all the same Hold me, I'll hold you Kill me, I'll kill you Slay me, I'll slay

about

Cult of Cats (2016) is the second album to arise from a dark fairytale of desire by the electronic duo Curse of Cassandra. Descending into a world of effervescent melancholy and pretty gloom, Nicole Richter and Jacob Richter collaborated with producer Chris Fahey of Big Dragon Music to deliver another moonlit cauldron of melodic floor-booming tracks.

Their debut album Night explored the eroticism of vampires with themes of otherworldly desire and sensual beauty, and Cult of Cats materializes from a similar vein with its first track ‘Carpe Noctem’, a midnight call for witches to rise up and seize the night. The whisper-sung vocals of Nicole drift above a driving bass line and powerful tom drums, and the words of Audre Lorde appear like tendrils of smoke dancing around a crackling pyre.

Breathing fire and roaring out of the gates, ‘Dragon on a Leash’ is an anthem for expressing sexual diversity, as piercing synths give way to ferocious dance beats and triumphant breakdowns of rebellious rage. Summoning soundscapes that are reminiscent of the dreamlike gothic visions of artists Victoria Frances and Tim Burton, ‘Ghost of You’ continues to explore obsessive romance with lyrics like “I need your demons to love me” and “I want your last remains.”

The fourth track ‘We Will Not Hide’ is a song for anyone who has ever felt different, or felt like they do not fit in, to make a stand and defy the oppression they may face by being who they are and choosing not to hide. Emerging from crystalline bells, shadows pulse in ‘Falling’ as Jacob croons over its rolling, churning beat. ‘Stardust’ evokes more themes of love and death, and the sultry vocals of Nicole bring the album to a close in its last track ‘Hold Me, Kill Me, Slay Me’ like a shimmering full moon on the darkest of nights.
