MM Shorts 359: The Mohawk Lodge’s 1000 Violins

Here is a third track from The Mohawk Lodge’s forthcoming album Damaged Goods. In contrast to the other two we’ve already posted, 1000 Violins is a more reflective ruminative song with dark themes at its heart – it is a cathartic coming to terms with longing, pain and desperation, haunting, affecting and ultimately  rather beautiful.
