Influenced by IDLES, Fontaines D.C., Gang of Four, The Fall, Sleaford Mods. Keir Bitumen was raised in Sheffield by a single mother who worked three jobs. He saw her fall asleep at the kitchen table from exhaustion and swore he'd make enough so she could stop; he hasn't yet, and the guilt fuels every note. After leaving school at sixteen to work as a scaffolder, he started writing songs on a battered Telecaster about the grit and grace of post-industrial life. These tracks, written between courier shifts and rehearsals in a damp railway arch, are a raw, blistering document of a city and a life on the edge.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was born from a dropped King Dick spanner on a Tuesday in the rain.
Woke up a screaming white mouth on his knuckle, a pure and sudden pain.
The air had the coppery smell of a fox's kill at dawn.
Heard a voice through the ringing, "'That's a proper bleeder, that one.'"

[Chorus]
I'm the line that the night couldn't swallow,
The grin on the bone that the winter made hollow.
I'm the silver pelt you earned in the fight.
I am the proof. I am the white.

[Verse 2]
I've seen the bottom of a hundred Sports Direct mugs since then.
Felt the tremor of the Supertram rattling over Kelham again.
Now I watch this city like a kestrel from a pylon wire,
and feel his thumb trace my edges when he's staring in the fire.

[Bridge]
Proof of the fall. Proof of the grip.
A white line. A thin white line. A line on skin. A slip.
Just a line. Just the white. Just the line of white.

[Chorus]
I'm the line that the night couldn't swallow,
The grin on the bone that the winter made hollow.
I'm the silver pelt you earned in the fight.
I am the proof. I am the white.

[Outro]
The hunt is over.
The pelt is home.
