Charles Perrault - Little Red Riding Hood

1. Kurt Vile“Baby’s Arms” / Buy

I am a living skeleton of my grandfather. His dusty blood growls and shrouds my flesh. I am elsewhere, sauntering with scattered words, now graved in my head.

2. Cults“Oh My God” / Link

Your quiet face and demeanour is an empty place. Words crumple and we’re merely in the places we had been.

3. PS22 Chorus“Kids (MGMT Cover)” / Buy

I heard you like “Kids”, so we made kids sing “Kids” so you can listen to kids while you listen to “Kids”.

4. Seapony“Dreaming” / Buy

I am not there either. Where do the words go? Worn rocks fall, thinned by the wind.

5. The Naked and Famous“Young Blood” / Buy

I am created in you, your clawed skin, your porcelain grin. The wind erodes us in rounded silences. And the pieces of me shine briefly in your empty hands.

    the pairing of these songs with that illustration of little red riding hood is just genius – they really bring out the sensual, dark and sinister undertone of the fairy tale.
