Well, Colin has written a couple albums worth of dark dark songs, but I believe he may have hit rock bottom. Here's a live performance of a song from their upcoming album. It's called Night/Rake.

I. Couple
And wasn't it a lovely night?
So alive, with fireflies
providing us their only light
And here we made a bed of boughs
and thistledown that we had found
to lay upon the dewy grass
And isn't it a lovely way
you got in from our play
Isn't it babe?
A sweet little baby
And wasn't it a lovely breeze?
That swept the leaves of autumn ease
and then to brush our blushing mouths
And here we done our little dance
and we were left to catch our breath
so swiftly lifting from our chests
and isn't it a lovely way?
You got in from our play
Isn't it babe?
Sweet little baby
II. Villain
I had entered to a marriage
In the summer of my 21st year
And the bells rang for our wedding
Only now do I remember it clear
All right, all right, all right
No more a rake and no more a bachelor
I was wedded and it whetted my thirst
Until her womb started spilling out babies
Only then did I reckon my curse
All right, all right, all right
All right, all right, all right
First came Isaiah with his crinkled little fingers
Then came Charlotte and that wretched girl Dawn
Ugly Mefen she died on delivery
Mercifully taking herr mother along
All right, all right, all right
What can one do when one is a widower?
Shamefully saddled with three little pests
All I wanted was the freedom of a new life
So my burden I began to divest
All right, all right, all right
All right, all right, all right
Charlotte I buried after feeding her Foxglove
Dawn was easy she was drowned in the bath
Isaiah fought but was easily bested
Burned his body for incurring my wrath
All right, all right, all right
All right, all right, all right
And that's how I came your humble narrator
To be living so easy and free
I expect that you'd think that I should be haunted
But it never really bothers me
All right, all right, all right
All right, all right, all right
Wow
