about

“Skin-grafting — a process of making an opening in the skin, in two places, and holding the wounds together. The supple skin of an inner arm heals to the sore on the cheek or neck, replacing cursed tissues with the untarnished. The difference of texture is visible for life in both places. A kind of scar, but built from the healthy body, a transferal of a wound from one place to the next; healed, at the price of a permanent disfigurement.

Skin-graft a wry smile onto a laugh bridging mirth and mourning, and you're entering the territory of 𝑬𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑯𝒐𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒄𝒆.

2020 the Merciless — its dangers were clocked ahead of time in a sarcastic prelude text to an album which couldn't know the venom of its own truths.

Chaperone grasped at the future in '19 with fingers bluntened by exhaustion, and God only knows how much was shrewd foresight, how much was heaven-sent premonition, and how much of reality was forged from the sacrilege of looking forward with such a scornful gaze.

Was it the dream of one, or of many? That future was shaped somehow — is collective pessimism to blame for the inevitable and colourless future?

𝑬𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑯𝒐𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒄𝒆 bears its scars in static. Some seem old, personal, borne on the body, while some seem to be phantoms of pain not yet felt by anyone. "Yet", the inevitable; "yet", the certainly uncertain. "Yet" will come for us all.

[....]"
