The tender opener to Konstantin Gropper’s fourth full-length album is a slow-burning, mysterious ode to love, reduced to the form of a maze. It sets the unsettling and nuanced tone that the rest of the record is built upon.
They're bringing flowers and chocolates
Those fools will try to bribe
We hold our bellies laughing
Up on the vantage point
They don't know what they're in for
Well, we don't know ourselves
It seems we only got here
Because we lost the way
Invading the holy land
Welcome to the tender maze
We made it to the center
And yes, that's very rare
Now better shut up, darling
Before you break the spell
They carved a wooden costume
To procreate the beast
Now that we heard the gospel
We want the christening
They're hunting for infidels
Welcome to the tender maze
We're still just tourists here
And I think that we will always be
