Musically revelrous, but lyrically so very much about death; that's the bargain struck by Not Waving But Drowning on this, their third record.
Red Hand alludes to thievery of all sorts — whether through the tale of a cross-dressing bandit of the 1600s, the relentless creep of Alzheimer's, or the intrigues of a courtesan turned international spy. Nearly all ending in the demise, timely or not, of the songs' protagonists.
All three Not Waving But Drowning records are available on Bandcamp and Spotify , as well as most of the other usual suspects.
