Johan Östberg One of those I-need-to-have-this moments as soon as I "accidently" stumbled across the EP.

I love the minimalistic approach and clever use of voice. It's dark, eerie and haunting, begging you to listen. Best buy in a long, long time! Favorite track: Touch.

1.
Intro 01:40
2.
Ready 03:43
Ready to call you up on the phone Ready to act and be acted upon Ready to try and ready to fail Ready for a check to come in the mail Ready to kill and ready to die Ready to be caught in a lie Ready to fuck and ready to hurt Ready to drag my name in the dirt Ready to smile and ready to bite Ready for everything to be alright Ready to fight and ready to flee God, how stupid can you be? (I'm nobody, who are you?)
3.
Just because it's easy doesn't make it wrong But I wish I was stronger Discipline is dangerous I hope at least I'm under your skin Becoming the skeleton you've always been Push and let go Tell reality no Find and lose nothing I want to bury myself I want to carry myself away I want to have nothing to say Wanted it then but I don't want it anymore
4.
In changing myself to suit an ideal I acknowledge its power over me But I also acknowledge my desire For survival (Leaning into sagging walls Against them and with them Caving in the sagging walls Take everybody with them) A lack of clear text Leads to an invented subtext I need to be a hero So that I won't be a victim
5.
Touch 03:58
(Hysterical, smiling, totally terrifying) Touch me I'm a machine That's what you want from me Open my ________ pretending not to know Shut up. Go harder. Be smarter.
6.
Legs 03:04
How many people disappear? How many people come undone? How many people live in fear? How many people shot? How many people hurt themselves? How many people try? How many people empty shells? How many people not? Do you like my legs? Do you like my smile? I know that you want me to stay awhile. Do you like my brain? Do you like my head? Darling, I have to go (I like you though, I love you though)

about

The Passive Voice is a dual CDr and Zine released by Berlin-based artist Brigid Fitch. Explorations of domesticity, disembodied sexuality, power and violence subtly emerge through an interplay of sound, text and image. The Passive Voice speaks of strength through passivity, ambiguity, and ever-present anxiety.
