mordancy

noun mordancies

countable, uncountable The state or quality of being mordant. Despite their name--and the name of their record--any morbidity or malice the Ships harbor is aggressively sublimated into relentlessly upbeat, largely staccato indie pop, with just a tinge of mordancy in the lyrics and the lap steel (which they underutilize criminally).
