SRSQ - "Only One" (Official Audio)
"Only One" from SRSQ's album, 'Unreality.'
Out now on LP/CD/Digital: www.daisrecord...
Creative voids aren’t filled, but rather holes left that push the edges of the present into new realms of consciousness. SRSQ’s pulse began after the death of Kennedy’s closest friend and TAUT collaborator Cash Askew, a casualty in the sudden and tragic Oakland Ghost Ship Fire of 2016. Driven by loss, SRSQ became the vehicle for Kennedy’s transformative process, exploring nuance, nostalgia, reflection, and reconciliation, manifesting in the aural landscape of Unreality.
As a debut, Unreality is entrance into a new form of storytelling, traversing the present while pulling from a deep swath of experience, immersion, and sound. Like the impulse it pulls from, each song evokes the complex duality of meditation-where simple intersects with infinite. Ambient synthesizers that approach harshness, relentless arpeggiations act together with Kennedy’s vocals as a lush weapon, weaving cloudlike fables over orchestration that’s familiar and foreign. Trance-like at times, yet always rooted in cadence and structure, the synesthesia of sound and feeling takes cues from the delicate miasma of Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, or Dead Can Dance, using their example as the ground floor for building a new temple of frequency. Kennedy proves an adept architect of rhythm, using sequenced electronics as a deep backbeat that allows the harrowing beauty of her vocals to lead the journey.
Produced by Matia Simovich of Inhalt, Unreality is simultaneously crisp and full, each tone and note occupying its own unique sonic world - grief butted against power, tracked to a heavy heartbeat.

LYRICS:
Some days, I don’t stand a chance
It’s dark, I know
My face mirrors at a glance
So you think you know
The things I know
You feign to know
But it’s different, it’s different
When the world falls apart, it breaks my heart
But it’s different, it’s different
When the world falls apart, it breaks my heart
I wouldn’t wish it on anyone
Some days I would never stand a chance
She’s on my mind
Paramount loss puts me ever in a trance
You were hard to find
Memories fade, I couldn’t tell what I forgot
For better or for worse
Wish I could trade, but that warrants second thought
I’m blessed, I’m cursed
But it’s different , it’s different
When the world falls apart, it breaks my heart
But it’s different, it’s different
I wouldn’t wish it on anyone
And it crushed me, and it crushes me
I’m just barely holding on
It crushes me every day
I’m just barely holding on
And if I let go
If I let go
I’m never coming back
I’m never coming back
When everything looks black
I’m just a moment from the sun
The water breaks my back
And I’m the only one

I truly feel her. On a level above the normal. She shares her life with us through her music& in these moments when I lose myself into another world I meet her very essence and feel her pain, love and passion! A true beauty! 🐍🌹🌹🐍
Perfection 4:56 factory at work
Gods! Amazing! This is a mainline of that classic 4AD vibration! Fantastic
Thank you for taking me with you on your journey. Beautiful song!
This lady has so much talent. Saw her live and was absolutely blown away! I hope she comes back to okc.
I can't stop listening to this song! I heard it on the npr show Echoes a week ago, and i'm pretty sure I've listened to it 4+ times a day since! 😍💜🖤💜 I'm enraptured!

Masterpiece.
What a beautiful voice and vocal arrangements. Shocked there aren't more likes, this is brilliant stuff. Makes me think of iamamiwhoami, Great femininity and creativity. ♥
Wow. You just spoke for the ocean, and thanks for that.
Beautyful!!! Reminds me of Cocteau Twins!
Wonderful! Im in love ❤ Best regards from Brazil.
The cocteau twin influences are undeniable. And I'm all here for it. This is how you're inspired by something great and put your own spin on it. The whole EP is amazing and the way she ends it with that soul-crushingly beautiful part at 04:55 when you already thought the song was over is goosebump material
Amazing! my favourite one on the album.
Crazy how good it is
!
Sin duda mi inspiracion hermosa mujer
Beauty full!
One to keep an eye on
My favorite song.
🖤
LOVELY
I felt her pain in this song. So sad
clicked > brain melted
😭😭💙❤️💜
невероятно прекрасно!
This song is the lovechild of Kate Bush and Cocteau Twins (what I'd imagine their lovechild to be).
