Mastodon’s very first double album, Hushed and sinister, is fast approaching and the group has just released a music video for “Teadrinker”, the second single.
“Teardrinker” and the previous single, “Pushing the Tides” appear back to back in the middle of the record and both offer plenty of perspective, underlining Mastodon’s talent for depth and dynamism in their composition.
The first taste of Hushed and sinister sets an aggressive tone, but “Tearrinker”, which precedes “Pushing the Tides” in the track sequencing, has a dancing vibe and yacht rock flair, but everything is draped in misery, despite this lead’s grip. dismal guitar. Troy Sanders and Brann Dailor exchange vocally, showing moving emotion with every passing line.
Watch the music video for “Tearrinker”, directed by Lorenzo Diego Carrera, at the bottom of the page and read the lyrics directly below.
Hushed and sinister drops October 29 on Reprise Records and pre-orders can be placed here. Watch Mastodon on their headlining US tour with Opeth as well as special guest Zeal & Ardor later this year at these stops.
Mastodon lyrics
In a bruised heart
i will just say when
Just once before
it will come back
Little voice inside
In my head
Tell me when it’s time to turn aroundEverything seems to fade away
I can see your face
And I feel the pain
And I feel ashamed that I let you down again
People everywhere
Not a drop to drink
I dare not think of the damage that I have doneTry to let go of what weighs down
What weighs you down
The only control you have is your own
Do I have to put the parts together again
Or do I leave them lying on the floorEverything seems to fade away
I can see your face
And I feel the pain
And I feel ashamed that I let you down again
People everywhere
Not a drop to drink
I dare not think of the damage that I have doneLeaving you behind
Is the hardest thing that I have done
Asking where I went wrong
I wonder what it all does
Does fortune favor the daring
I only know that by leaving you
Was the hardest thing
Cut and run
