Wendykurk released their debut album "Soft Meat" for Ankst Musik Records in September 2003 through Shellshock Distribution. The album's six tracks were recorded over an intense three day recording period at the magical Bryn Derwen studio with engineer and producer David Wrench.

The band became notorious in Wales for their visceral live performances, outlandish appearance, youthful anger and for just scaring the shit out of most people who see their extraordinary live shows. Make no mistake Wendykurk were a very special band. Formed in Holyhead at the beginning of the new millennium the band refined their musical style to create something that was altogether new and exciting.

"Soft Meat" is a brutal and unrelenting album containing some truly breathtaking rock music. From the 'f**k you' manifesto in screaming that is "Violet Introspection" and the incredibly brutal "Dogbones", to the poppy and almost commercial "Sometimes" and "Freckles" nestling next to the epic rock swagger of "Aurora" and "Chain Of Daisies". The whole album is dynamic and challenging with singer Nomi's extraordinary vocals carrying all before her.

The band have recorded various radio sessions including BBC Radio 1 sessions and have been featured on the underground satellite music station Org Tv (the promo video for Freckles). Wendykurk were hand picked by Mark Almond for his TV show 'Shotgun Slideshow'.The band were also featured in Rocksoud and KERRANG! and were generally hailed as one of the most vital of the new breed of UK rock bands that made an impact in 2003.

Wendykurk Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I dreamed of warm plastic
Clear to your expression
Wrapped around your face
Breathe in my love
Breathe in my love

And you have freckles
And I will scratch

Until speckles
Of blood creep out

I don′t want to wake
I smile in my sick sleep
While you lie my skin close
I dream of your still face
Breathe in my love
Breathe in my love

And you have freckles
And I will scratch
Until speckles
Of blood creep out

Because you look six
I feel one hundred and four
You look so sick
I feel so sick

Breathe in my love
Breathe in my love
Breathe in my love
Breathe in my love

And you are petals
You scratch at my feet
Until I saw you
And nothing more than me

And you have freckles
And I will scratch
Until speckles
Of blood creep out

Breathe in my love
Breathe in my love
Breathe in my love
Breathe in my love

Breathe in my love
Breathe in my love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Wendykurk's song Freckles evoke intense emotions and imagery that may be open to interpretation. The opening lines speak of a dream-like state where warm plastic is a symbol of intimacy and connection, perhaps representing a yearning for closeness and protection. The imagery of plastic wrapped around the face and the plea to "breathe in my love" suggest a desire to feel deeply connected to someone.

The mention of freckles introduces a contrast to the warmth and closeness described earlier. The act of scratching until blood appears could symbolize a desire to break through surface appearances and reach a deeper level of understanding or intimacy. The repetition of these lines reinforces the intensity of these emotions and actions.

As the lyrics progress, the singer seems to be grappling with conflicting emotions. There is a sense of unease or discomfort, hinted at by references to dreaming in a "sick sleep" and feeling sick in response to the other person's appearance. The juxtaposition of feeling both "six" and "one hundred and four" suggests a disparity in age or experience, adding a layer of complexity to the relationship being described.

Towards the end of the song, the imagery shifts to a more abstract and surreal landscape. The reference to petals and scratching at feet suggests a sense of fragility and vulnerability. The final repetition of "breathe in my love" underscores the yearning for connection and understanding, even in the midst of confusion or turmoil.

Overall, the lyrics of Freckles by Wendykurk delve into themes of intimacy, vulnerability, and the complexities of human connection. The mix of dream-like imagery and raw emotion creates a haunting and evocative narrative that invites listeners to reflect on the intricacies of relationships and the depths of their own desires and fears.

Line by Line Meaning

I dreamed of warm plastic
I envisioned a false sense of security or comfort

Clear to your expression
Transparent in understanding your emotions

Wrapped around your face
Enveloped by your presence or influence

Breathe in my love
Absorb and accept my feelings of affection

And you have freckles
You have imperfections that make you unique

And I will scratch
I will attempt to erase or change those imperfections

Until speckles
Continuing until the flaws are no longer visible

Of blood creep out
Resulting in harm or pain

I don't want to wake
I prefer to stay in this dream-like state

I smile in my sick sleep
Finding a twisted joy in this unhealthy mindset

While you lie my skin close
Even as you remain physically near
