"Lastly, here's a wonderful, wicked new track from Sama Dams. I wrote about the release show of their innovative new album…but here's a chance to hear their remarkable, challenging new work for itself. At times "Pretty Ghosts" approaches a conventional indie-pop song, but listen to those staggering drumstick clicks, that drunk-funk bass synth devouring the entire bottom end, those eerie backing vocals that could possibly be the pretty ghosts of the title. It's all deliriously, deliberately off kilter. When you hear No Vengeance, you'll know that Sama Dams is no mere buzz band but a fierce, adventurous musical force to be reckoned with."
-Ned Lannamann, End Hits Portland Mercury Music Blog, March 25, 2013

lyrics

Coming down a smile upon
Stuck up right - feed your stupid mouth
The dead in mind to bend at burial
Boarded up like a home that's waiting for a storm to break
Hurricane in blowing

Better instincts got us in their way
Our pavane will take us to the day


Pretty ghosts of animals
I could die, but I want to talk
You're coming down swinging a cache of scripts
Colored right in the dark
Her body's downy soft, her hands are cold
Cold and shaking

Suddenly I don't know who it's for
No one ever held open the door


And day is done
