    "comment": "Out to Tony in PDX!\n\n\"blade bird\" adapts a Basque folk poem called \"Txoria Txori\" — \"The Bird's a Bird\" — about loving a creature you can't cage without killing. Oklou flips it into a song about romantic love: falling for someone precisely because of the things that make them impossible to hold, and sitting with the knowledge that your own desire is the blade. It closes the album in a hush, mostly voice and gauze, extending the drumless palette she's been perfecting across the record. She walked Pitchfork through the whole reading-Txoria-Txori connection in their interview this year.
