Husky - History's Door & Dark Sea


Husky is a band that has a lot of stylistic range, so we're featuring
two songs that are equally fantastic in different ways.

Favorite lyrics for History's Door:
Two hearts burning
On a hillside turning
Round the blazing sun

History's Door has a more folk band quality, the echoing vocals resonating slowly, playing off the instrumentally faster melody. There are parts of it you want to hear in the sunlight and parts you want to listen to in pitch black - it's a song that manages both sides of emotion simultaneously, which isn't entirely easy to find.

Favorite lyrics for Black Sea:
We were once just children staring up at the stars
When did we grow older and become so very far?

It's almost like the silence in Dark Sea is as powerful as the sound; you can feel all the spaces in between words as if the lulls were made from their own instrument. It's like pulses of music, a heartbeat of intensity and quietness. There's always a fading note, so it's never really 'silent,' but instead a kind of eternal background buzz.

Glitter Pox rating: 77% contagious

Hope you catch it,
The Glitter Pox
