Slow Drift from Slow Drift by Rhiannon Scutt
The song explores power play in an abusive relationship. On one level it speaks to the personal but also transfers to the political realm. I was thinking how power is often dressed up in the language of the ‘saviour’, or the apologetic abuser, and wanted to capture the creeping, draining impact of such manipulation

Lyrics
Razor Tongue, apologise,
The greater good, we are allies,
A drowning man, rage misplaced,
Squeeze the life out, what a waste.

Evolution through Rhiannon’s music is clear. A shift from her first rootsy duo Rita Payne, through a period of introspective work developing as a lyricist. Now working with a grittier sound, she maintains her beautiful and at times uncomfortable lyrics, experimenting with world-class musicians, who's combined sound converge where distorted guitars, live strings meet drum machines and jazz trumpet.
