lyrics
WHAT IT IS NOT
IT AIN'T THE SMOKY HAZE DANCING A MORNING WALTZ,
NO IT AIN'T
IT AIN'T VIOLIN STRINGS RESOUNDING OLD ANTHEMS,
IT AIN'T A THICK AND GREASY FOG PARTING US FROM DAYLIGHT,
IT AIN'T ANIMAL CARCASSES RESTING ON FROZEN SILKY LAKES,
IT AIN'T OCCULT TOTEMS HANDMADE OUT OF MUD AND CLAY,
NO IT AIN'T
IT AIN'T THE SHOUTS OF THE WILDERNESS TO THE MOON AND STARS,
IT AIN'T THOUSANDS OF LITTLE GREY BIRDS FLYING UP THROUGH THE SKIES,
NO IT AIN'T
IT AIN'T THE ELECTRIC THUNDER CRACKING OVER THE DESERT FIELDS,
IT AIN'T A GREEDY STORM REVIVING SOME CHILDHOOD MEMORIES, NO IT AIN'T
IT AIN'T A FOREST FIRE EAGER TO LICK OUR FLESH AND BONES,
IT AIN'T SATAN, IT AIN'T GOD,
IT AIN'T LIFE, BUT IT AIN'T DEATH EITHER
FOR DEATH'S BEEN KILLED A TATTOOED NUMBER OF TIMES
DEATH SLAUGHTERED TO DEATH,
NOT TRANSCENDED, OR TRANSFORMED
AND THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO HEAR
BUT INFINITE WHISPERED PRAYERS,
A ROSARY OF GHOSTLY ABORTED CHANTINGS
FILLING UP THE COLD WIND
SEE THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO SEE
BUT MILLIONS OF EMPTY EYES STILL HAUNTING OUR FEAR
SEE THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO HEAR
BUT MILLIONS OF MUTE VOICES STILL HAUNTING OUR EARS

Imagine that Captain Beefheart disbanded the Magic Band straight after Trout Mask Replica and then slipped off into the desert. By some freak of nature that I can’t explain, he returns to 2021 having magically transformed into a French woman. In this new guise she captures a band of improvising musicians and imprisons them in a recording studio. They will not be released until total weirdness has been achieved. And they succeed. Fast and bulbous indeed. John Coldwell

Mary Halvorson is a genius composer and guitarist who has developed her own musical language, and with Code Girl she has incorporated poetry into that language. Incredible compositions and lyricism (each track is a different kind of poem). Halvorson's playing is as great as usual, and all the other members of the band sound great. Robert Wyatt's singing in particular works extremely well in the tracks he's featured. Highly, highly recommend. rat
Tasmanian guitarist Julius Schwing embraces the visceral sounds of finger playing, incorporating them into his experimental guitar work. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 8, 2022

I cant explain why I love this album, but I can say with reasonable certainty that I do. Canterbury insanity combined with pure creativity, topped off with hard prog here and there. Grievous Swoons
