While Dacuss last album,Home Video, explored the world of childhood and adolescence. Forever Is A Feeling is decidedly adult. The lushness of the albums sound is matched by a new frankness in Dacuss approach to sexuality and romance. So bite me on the shoulder, pull my hair, Dacus sings on Ankles. Pull me by the ankles to the edge of the bed, and take me like you do in your dreams. The sex in Ankles remains fantasyas in many of the songs, love doesnt come easy, desire has to be resistedbut the willingness to talk about it shows a new forthrightness, a new and brave willingness to express desire. The song was originally written as a ballad, Dacus says, but on the album melancholy has been transfigured. Pulsing strings build to a thick texture of drums, guitars, a dancingly exuberant bass line, and electronics. Frustration becomes flirtatious, playful, full of the excitement of shared attraction.
