…slipping into minds, SAMI RIDGE Kali

Sami Ridge – Kali is available on Bandcamp, Spotify.

Primal, emotional, and soul-twisting are the energies that fuel the questful new single, “Kali”, from Seatle grunge poet Sami Ridge. Her second release to date, this one offers up a slice of the dark arts and the imagery it conjures up is beyond powerfully mind-altering. A mystical dreamscape or nightmare…immediately subjective. But one thing is certain, once Ridge’s raw wails and near ritualistic chants pierce your psyche, you’ll not be the same…

Soles on the street
She looked at me
And did I know then just how
She might look at me now

And I
I
I was slipping into minds
In search of such a feral kind like you

Oh
Oh
And now I’m heading for the sun
Remembering the ones who burn like you

Kali do your deathless dance
Vali do your fearsome dance
Patti do your vengeance dance

‘cause I know I had one chance…

If you’re a fan of like-a-dagger vocals/lyrics, otherworldly visions and you need to touch the sounds around you, then Sami Ridge’s “Kali” is poised to spiritualize. And you can stream the single as well as Ridge’s previous release, “In a Room”, now at the GTC.
