"Before the Poison is not an album of hopelessness.
Before the Poison is an album about managing to survive the nearly unbearable without harboring any illusions about any lights at the end of any tunnel.
An album whose purpose is not to depress but to provide comfort, if only of the coldest kind."- "Tell me, do we still have time?
To make this wrong somehow be right"01. The Mystery Of Love

"On Before the Poison, Faithfull’s voice is guided by a number of mediums: PJ Harvey, Nick Cave, Damon Albarn, and Jon Brion. Although collaborative albums often seem unfocused, Faithfull takes control of the proceedings and makes Before the Poison a powerful, cohesive artistic statement on loss and survival.
It takes stories of tragedy and misery and presents them with just enough beauty to allow us to accept them."
