The Middle East performing "Blood" - KCRW at SXSW

The Middle East won our hearts with their gentle harmonies and intricate arrangements. The band hails from Australia and we're proud to be part of their U.S. debut as they perform on Morning Becomes Eclectic from Austin, Texas, when we broadcast from the music conference, South-By-Southwest.

Beautifully soft sounding music, contrasting the incredibly bleak and dark lyrics, really fuck me up inside. The writer himself is also a firm atheist makes me wonder how fucking bleak this guy's view on life must be

[@SeaToSummit1969]

Man... this is terribly mixed.
