about

Of “Big Cat”, Black Twig’s Aki Pohjankyrö explains; "The track turned out to be part guitar pop/folk song, part protest song. Its working title was "Revolution Song", because it also has this revolving or circling guitar riff, which keeps repeating during the verses. One of my favorite things on this track is the electric mandolin melody in the chorus. Our bass player Kaarlo came up with it and he also plays it on the record."

lyrics

You have your great powers
I have faith, fear, and love for you
And yes there are times, when nothing gets through right

This world isn’t making it any easier
to have that faith in humankind
How can you love thine enemy / when idiots rule?

And you
Still seem like a great big cat
Taking care of their human slaves
Please don’t say that it’s over
You fight your enemies
But how can we fight
all this evil that we see

You have your great powers
I have a rat-like voice in my head
And yes there are times, when nothing translates right

This world isn’t making it any easier
To have that faith in humankind
And fascism will rise
If we won’t fight it

And you
Still seem like a great big cat
Taking care of their human slaves
Please don’t say that it’s over
You fight your enemies
But how can we fight
all this evil that we see

about

Black Twig Finland

Black Twig are about fuzzy pop songs, shoegaze, folk & droning rock songs.

It all started out with improvisation and spacey jams, but somehow compositions and thought-out structures began to build up. They live in Helsinki, but the members originally hail from obscure Finnish locations like Pyhtää, Hyvinkää, Vantaa, and Kuopio. They play two guitars, one electric bass, and a set of drums. ... more
