ON059 - Well

by Uncle Woe

/
1.
Well 04:55
I am dangled on the winds of false breath. I can see straight through these painted on shadows. Do we still have to hold them up to keep ourselves on the ground? Do I not get to let them down? Do I not get to watch them all drown? Mirror, mirror down the well Who the hell am I to tell anyone? How came you so far? Do we still have to hold them up to keep ourselves on the ground? Do I not get to let them all down? Who the hell are you to lock the door? Who am I to tell anyone? How came you so far? I am dangled on the winds of false depth. I can see straight through your painted on limbs. Do I not get to watch them all drown? Mirror, mirror down the well Who the hell am I to tell anyone? How came you so far? Who the hell are you to lock the door? Who the hell am I to knock?

Bring with you only what you need; what you can carry. Count a thousand moons, and curse them as they pass. What comes around is vacant now. Within/without; we are alone. Pray that we are only knee deep, 'cause we are burdened and we are weary. The goddess of grief, upon a river of loss; the glass is half broken, the knife is fully chrome. Bring with you only what you need; what you can carry. Pray that we are only knee deep, 'cause we are burdened and we are weary.

The dragging down of blackest clouds, the familiar shapes of olde misfortune, here rendered by your guiltless guile and gall. Half-handed visions and curious falls set the mood and set the scene. Man, we set sail in buckets full of handsome holes. Our pockets full of absent gold. Our feinted hearts are empty. Our tired eyes are closed. Come wash with me in the evening tide, then weep and let it go. Each night I feel her sweet song fail. We protest and end, ere without breath we grow cold. Always resist displacement. Does it always come to this in the tales we are sold? Do we not get to write our own wrongs? Tumbling through widespread hazard crops, here turned by the foulest of claws, I can still hear her; sweet and frail. Always resist displacement. Somewhere between Oblivion and further disaster we live and die. Into black glass caskets, we are prepared and it is night. Those of better oppression will sew endless seed until starved through chronic supply. Man, we set sail with bucketfuls of hands to hold. Our pockets full of rancid gold. Our swollen lands are empty. Our eyes are painted closed. New infection to feed the peasant need; how your guerrilla garden grows. They demand a scarcity in healthy eyes as they laugh and look about. They laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and look about. They laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and fuck about.

about

The 100th Owlripper release is a biggie; FFO doom, sludge, psychedelic, stoner, grunge, rock & metal, Yob, Monolord, Elephant Tree, Alice In Chains, Windhand, Ufomammut and the like.

It is a fantastic honour to release through Owlripper this wonderfully epic, immersive piece of atmospheric and psychedelic doom by Uncle Woe, a two piece studio project based in Ontario, Canada and Melbourne, Australia.

They specialise in big songs, heavily hypnotic riffs and progressions, in-depth story telling and sublime artwork to wrap their releases inside, and in the case of 'Well', it is no different. There is a stunning animated video to accompany the anthemic title track (which is included in the download here as well).

It's been a pleasure to talk with the immensely talented and driven Rain Fice in the build up to this release, and I absolutely urge you to continue on your journey into the Uncle Woe world after hearing this release, which you can pick up on vinyl on their Bandcamp.

Described as "The perfect band to listen to when you're having a terrible time" but honestly, they have a sound for all seasons and feelings, so please (as The Dark Knight comments on one of their releases on Bandcamp) 'Take a trip down psychedelic prog lane and discover the wonder of Uncle Woe'.

The Obelisk premiered the video with a big review as well: theobelisk.net/obelisk/2023/11/20/uncle-woe-well-premiere/

Performed and recorded by Rain Fice and Marc Whitworth, in Detlor, Ontario, Canada, and Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, respectively.
