“Wolves Made of Lace” is the sound of dusk unraveling on your neck—delicate, bristling, feral. The track opens in intimacy: handclaps echo like a ritual heartbeat, the dulcimer plucks a rhythm distilled from memory, and whispering choral voices draw you into their orbit. As the song gathers force, every whispered syllable coalesces into a foot-stomping, visceral chant—a sonic spell that dares to be untamed.
This isn’t polite music. It’s a call to awaken.
STORYTELLING & THEME
Picture a lantern swinging down a mossy path. You follow it toward a clearing where lace and twilight mingle—and there, wolves gather. They’re not beasts. They’re elegies in lace, sewing sharp truths into soft air. “Wolves Made of Lace” inhabits that twilight—between society’s polite lies and the wild truths we bury.
Every handclap is a memory summoned. Each dulcimer note is ancestral pulse. The women’s voices—whisper and furious—are both mourning and uprising. This is the soundtrack for witching hours, for secrets that shatter glass.

Style: Folk‑Goth / Ritual Indie Folk
Mood: Hypnotic, unsettling—but deeply human
Tempo: A crawl into communion, then a stomp into unmasked power
Instrumentation:
Bare, close-miked handclaps—breath, pulse, invitation

Final foot-stomps—grounded, ancestral, collective heartbeat
Sounds are intimate and tactile. They don’t just play—they almost speak.

EMOTIONAL IMPACT & USAGE
This is both spell and exorcism:
For every woman sequestered behind a forced smile—this is her growl.
For every beauty masking a thrum of ire—this is the unbinding moment.
For every quiet before the uprising—this is the breath that becomes storm.
Play it in half-light, in the hush before dawn, through broken mirrors, on winding roads, during midnight rituals. Let it shadow-dance across cold skin.
