She Loves Us (or as my son calls it, "the mow mow song") just fuckin blows me away. Gira appears to be doing some Indian raga over the....er....mow mow thing, before it descends into glorious fucking chaos for maybe 3min. Out of this glorious noise emerges the heart and soul of the track....what a fuckin performance! Gira builds and builds on top of that relentless 3-note thing, through "your name is fuck", higher and higher in intensity, swooping above the hallelujahs which appear later on, "no way home", until it descends into chaos again, then a choir of wailings, and finally a clean and tidy wrapup. His vocals are fucking incredible on this. Not just physically, but in the way he paces himself, and when he strikes hard. I can't stop listening to this motherfucker. (My son explains to any visiting and willing listeners that he shouts "fah", not "fuck".) It's the quickest 17min of TBK. Sometimes I feel pissed off that the 3min noise interlude didn't go on for 20min, in order to completely pulverise the listener before the emergence of "I am your...." But this track is a masterpiece.
