SOMBER AMELIA MOORE
Night Divorce is the debut EP from Portland band Somber. Its seven tracks bleed together like one long dream sequence, but they sound stuck—thrashing against the walls, caught between worlds.
“At the time we were writing Night Divorce, I was having a particularly bad period of night terrors and even sleep paralysis,” says vocalist/keyboardist Myrrh Crow. “It got to the point where at any moment I couldn’t fully tell whether I was sleeping or awake, and existed in what felt like a permanent state of half-reality. The only way I could really know what was real was if I wrote it down, so I journaled constantly, and all of these lyrics came out of that.”
