"So I’m sitting by myself in my living room, and I start playing the new Monte Luna track through the bluetooth speaker just now to check it out for the first time. My honest, out-loud reaction when the riff kicked in? “Holy Jesus.” Said it out loud. No one’s even home. I’m here by myself. This shit is fucking heavy. I dug the long-form vibes of Monte Luna‘s 2017 self-titled debut, but if they can distill this kind of heft into shorter pieces and add more variety to the album overall through that? Then they’re gonna be on a different level of execution real quick. And “The Water Hag” bodes remarkably well in that regard. I can’t wait to hear the rest of the record." - The Obelisk

“On the opener to their sophomore record, Monte Luna evoke not just the murky depths of some watery graveyard but also the very real sensation of a forcible descent, clutched by the spectral hands of poison and malice to a place completely void of light. From its pummelling opening riff to its heartbreaking turn a minute in to one of 2019’s more haunting motifs’The Water Hag’ subjects you to a harrowing near-death experience, Cl’s tortured lament paradoxically the only light source guiding you throughout. “. - Cult of the Ibex

lyrics

Stand by the water side (You now become my master)
Holding forever dear (this life has stole from my lungs)
Waves will consume my mind (this tide has pulled me under)
Dwell in the shallow swell (your skin has turned to sorrow)

Can’t tell right from wrong
Water Hag is far too gone
Send me to a shallow grave
Maybe I should have just swayed

Lure all the trackers back (from seas of black stagnation)
Eyes start to roll in back (fell from the face I knew once)
Think of the better days (who’s sun can shine the longest)
Cold steal you must embrace (this time I found the answer)

Can’t tell right from wrong
Water Hag is far too gone
Send me to a shallow grave
Maybe I should have just swayed

Show me a feeling
I’ll sing you a song
There’s a place where you belong

Oh they’ll never take me
Oh they’ll never take me away
