This song was the culmination of my frustrations with the inextricable link between patriarchy and the state. Judges, politicians, police, and professors are some of the biggest perpetrators of gender violence yet are least likely to be held accountable because of their proximity to power.
One of the lyrics were inspired by the Chilean feminist protest song “Un Violador en tu camino”/“A Rapist in your path”:
“Y la culpa no era mía, ni dónde estaba ni cómo vestía.”/“And the fault was not mine, not where I went, not how I dressed.”
- Tammy
lyrics
She told the truth
And you chose to ignore,
It was not her fault
Not where she was,
Not what she wore.
Abusers cry to justify
The reasons they oppress,
It was not her fault
Not where she was,
Not how she dressed.
Fuck this bullshit.
You make me sick.
Why is he avoiding all accountability?
Abuse of power comes as no surprise.

Such a unique, crushing and yes, catchy record. Having seen them live recently can also attest to the band’s incredible tightness and massive tones. Love this record and this band. rube

There is something purely authentic and honest about Infant Island's music. These songs are substantial in their impact that go deep under the surface. The sound mix is everywhere (track 3 on headphones?!?!) with some of the slower nuanced moments giving needed space for maximum effect when the violent intensity hits. But on career highlight "Awoken," they leave nothing behind. A must hear song from an increasingly important band. bcb723
