&gt;&gt; It’s this or the train tracks...&lt;&lt; 

What sounds like a threat ascending from the backdrop of hopelessness gracing Cora Lines debut EP “The Phosphorus Account: Pt: I” is more of a reminder. A reminder that at the end of the day, vocalist Hannah Louve Benedum ́s decision to be herself was not rooted in complexity but in necessity. Sure, one might call her mere existence and act of resistance, some might call making this record “brave”. She calls it necessary. Both the record and the story of reckoning it is based on are but the survival instinct of a person who has chosen to stay alive. Phosphorus is what the Matchgirls of the early 20th century worked with in the factories. A chemical slowly rotting away their faces to give them what was commonly referred to as “phossy jaw”. They revolted in what became known as the matchgirl protests, where they protested their miserable working conditions and severe poverty. The Matchgirls? Are all those who are marginalized. All those rejected by the world who refuse to fold the hand they’ve been dealt.
