Getting used to the way Switzer-Wolf delivers his ambiguous stream-of-consciousness lyrics takes some time to get used to.
They've been asking for my measurements".Īnnihilation Signals by Lee Switzer-Woolf This verbosity could be hard to keep up with, though it also offers entertaining one-liners that play like mini-stories, like on "Yucatán" where he relays "My father's graverobbers, they've been talking to me like friends. For example, the opening track, "The Falling Shrapnel of a Satellite", features perplexing phrases such as "My religion is a sandwich board that reads 'the end is nigh'" in one breathy line. Switzer-Woolf's lyrics deal in highly stylistic and imagistic free-verse, often creating lofty songs that are high in ideals and low in accessibility.
The follow-up to 2022's Scientific Automatic Palmistry, the album centers around Switzer-Woolf's candid and heart-on-the-sleeve songwriting while folding in a variegated backdrop of sounds from affected vocals and processed drum beats to whirling keys and an assemblage of subtle acoustic and electric guitars. Annihilation Signals is the second solo album of Reading-based singer-songwriter Lee Switzer-Woolf.
