Throughout the LP, there are cathartic, snarling kiss-offs to villainous men ("Motherfucker") but also moments of tenderness and ecstasy. Shook describes closer "Criminal" as their "gay cowboy song", the torturous longing of the lyrics is anchored by shimmering guitar leads from Blake Tallent and bastioned by drummer Jack Foster's hypnotic rhythms. River sings, "If lovin' you will always be a crime I'll always be a criminal." It's a triumphant line that highlights Shook's emotional sturdiness. "That line got me thinking about how we as queer people have been persecuted, and how we so often have to keep all kinds of things under wraps because of the law because of social taboo," says Shook. "I wanted "Criminal" to portray these feelings of longing and desire that two gay people can have for each other. They're complicated feelings because human beings are complicated. Gay love is every bit as complicated as straight love." - Revelations is the most assured Sarah Shook and the Disarmers record yet because it so pointedly captures the gamut of the human experience: anger, sadness, confusion, love, and acceptance. It's a document of Shook at the top of their game and a reflection of their own journey not just as a writer but as a person. "I'm a firm believer that if you are an artist, and you want to make better art, a big part of that isn't just exercising your musical skills, it's growing as a human being," says Shook. "So every time I make a record, I want to be able to listen to it and look back on who I was then. I want to see this arc and this evolution. That's really fncking important to me." EXPLICIT LYRICS
