Emboldened enough to write the letter
It's like pulling teeth
Fitting words together
Don't you think it's time to start again
All seeing but blind seeking whatever
Glows from the grit
But for the other
Shines and dulls only because
This ones a glimmer in the dark
Our beautiful machine will spark
Long into the city's glowing heart
This feeling of plenty is my bones
We wore the chains
Connected creepy
Magnesia, my darling's sleepy
Even still she's glimmering
Tonight
Our beautiful machine will spark
Long into the city's glowing heart
This feeling of plenty is my bones

'One of The Irish Times’ “10 best Irish albums of 2023 so far”'
‘…weave the kind of spells that are
virtually impossible to escape from. The result is an unexpected, under-ether thrill ride, equal measures woozy, wistful and wonderful.’ - The Irish Times
'One of the country’s most singular talents.’ - The Thin Air
supported by 9 fans who also own “Feelings of Plenty”
As I listen to this album more and more I start discover aspects that I hadn't felt before. My love for every individual track continues to grow, but Change has remained in my heart as a deep drive to get me through the day. seonghi
Sweden's Catharina Jaunviksna, aka Badlands, creates gently glowing '80s-inspired pop - think of it as new wave in pastel rather than neon. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 2, 2021
