Nux Vomica, 2006

These songs have Vs!
Another band entirely new to me. This song has Gothic rock vibes. The singer has a honeyed voice, reminiscent (albeit a faint shade of) Hamish Hawk's, with a delivery copped from Nick Cave. It seems to be about a single mother deciding to keep her baby, admonished by her friends and the community ("The vicar said it's wrong but hey what does he know / He said it's wrong but that the Lord forgave me") but proud and dismissive of their opinions ("No man alive has earned the right to save me"). Bold, literate lyrics and great music.
