Just a few songs into the Kittie revival shows this groundbreaking band hasn’t lost a step! Morgan Lander’s voice is especially remarkable in this song, going from clean singing that cut through the pummeling music behind to growls that make the breakdown at the end of this less than hopeful track that much more intense. As Lander says herself.
‘We Are Shadows’ is about the uncertainty of a future we can no longer control. We have come to a critical place in life and in our world, and much like an eclipse overtaking the sun, we are losing the light…The images of shadows slowly fading in the evening darkness, and the analogy of ‘us’ as shadows in the night really illustrates the possibility of slowly fading into oblivion. It is not a song of hope, however, it’s a song of coming to terms with the damage we do and acceptance of our fate. We’ve let the darkness take hold, and so we are resolved to fade in the night with it.’
So a pretty happy go lucky tune! Kittie will be out on some US festivals including Sonic Temple and Sick New World, other than that, we wait to see what the mighty Kittie will bring!
