Comfort

Comfort are a duo from Glasgow, Scotland who make genre defying protest music for the modern age. Comprising of siblings Natalie (she/her) on vocals/electronics and Sean (He/Him) on drums, they make music which is minimal in construction yet maximal in energy. Thundering drums give perpetual momentum to visceral synths as the vocals punctuate each track with a relentless urgency. Comfort's music takes strength from vulnerability and delivers joy from rage, presenting a queer critique of societal norms. Unashamed, direct, no nonsense and brutally honest.

Not Passing

NOT PASSING

All standards are falsehoods

I am no less a woman than a cis-gendered runway model

Prejudices are not opinions

There is no debate

Let them think i look like a man

Let them think I am mentally deluded

I am cultivating in the cracks of their disgust

I have nothing to live for but myself

My womanhood needs no permission

This record is for the people who don't make it

Who don't feel safe enough to live it

Who will be

Who are

We deserve our beauty

And the world will catch up to us
