Hiding From The Funeral

Nadine “Pews”

The percussion in “Pews” is rather busy and driving, and yet the song overall conveys an odd feeling of status. It’s a bit like jogging in place on a treadmill, or having your life go stagnant while everyone around you is frantic and chaotic. Nadia Hulett sings her parts with the tone of someone who is trying to be clear-headed and serene, but is just starting to betray a repressed impatience and restlessness. The lyrics focus on miscommunication and liminal moments, the bits of life without any focus or definition. It suits the music rather well.
