ENTRANCE - “Promises” “Promises”

·

Time is a cruel yet forgiving friend / who slaps your face and then holds your hand.

Sage lines from ENTRANCE, who is now in all caps, sans “Band” qualifier, and signed to Thrill Jockey (who’ve released his Promises EP). An artist whose name adjustments mark important style shifts, this uppercase ENTRANCE iteration moves from the hallucinatory blues zone into clear eyed, if solemn, beholding. Swap fuzz for strings and offer reverence to time. The chimes do ring.

The video for “Promises,” is sweetly brought to life by London-based, Bulgarian-born illustrator Rozalina Burkova and contains an ouroboros.
