SRSQ (pronounced seer-skew) is a solo project of Kennedy Ashlyn from Them Are Us Too. SRSQ was formed after Kennedy’s closest from and Them Are Us Too collaborator, Cash Askew, passed away as a result of the Oakland Ghost Ship Fire in 2016. SRSQ got noticed immediately, and hit the road in support of stellar acts such as Cold Cave, Drab Majesty and TR/ST. That’s really good company to keep!
Temporal Love is a powerful track that mixes elements of Dark Wave and Post Punk with an ethereal back drop reminiscent of some ballads from The Cure. Strangeways can’t wait to see what 2020 has in store from this young and promising band.
Lyrics
Words have never seemed adept
To quantify a moment’s depth
I’m living in a distant past
Those days are never coming back
You’re burrowed like a shard of glass
It’s bigger than a heart attack
I’m waiting on the storm to pass
Those days are never coming backKissing you once more
Could not erase the time
Wishing it was the
Same as it ever was
Missing you once more
But you were never mine
Reminisce it all
What’s done can never be undoneImages of you
Dripping down my skull
Slowly
Part and parcel to a night like this
Adorned in marks consistent with the kiss
A spectre walks these halls
Tracing pictures with its calls
On the shore of an ocean
Running raw beneath its wave
Pulled out by the currents
Towards a heavenly place
I see it when I sleep
I wake up and I weepDo you remember
a night bursting slowly
It haunts me, it thrills me
Do you remember a night
You wish to forget ?
It haunts me
It kills me
